Title: What was wrong with the windows last time?
Post by: AuRavelling79 on May 28, 2015, 04:00:52 pm
So says Mr T. (No not that one) to me.

Me: Sorry?

Mr T: Last time the windows looked like someone chucked a bucket of dishwater on them.
 
Me: Really, all of them or just some of them?

Him: The ones at the back. You'd driven off and my son said "Dad, look at the state of those windows!"

Me: You should have phoned me and called me back to look at them. I'd have come back. It's strange I do five on your side of the road and they've not mentioned anything. (I'm thinking perhaps I zoned out and didn't do his downstairs backs and the tops dripped on them) Was it all the windows at the back?

Him: Yes! The whole house actually I just got the garden hose out and washed them off.

Me: (Thinking that doesn't make sense) And that did the trick?

Him: Well, yes.

Me: Well it doesn't look like they've been cleaned with a hosepipe and 8 weeks have gone by too.

Him: What do you mean?

Me: If you'd cleaned them with a hosepipe, the water round here is very hard and you would have mineral marks all over them; they don't seem to bad for west facing after 8 weeks.

Him: Err ... well the rain has kept them clean.

Me: So what do you want me to do? After all after 8 weeks anything might have happened.

Him: Well you could do them for nothing this time.

Me: What do you need me for? - a quick wash with a hose and let the rain finish it off - who needs a window cleaner? Cya!

sounds like the sons p!ssed on your chips Granville!

Does the son live there?

took on a new custie a couple of years ago cleaned three times no problem, then son was staying over.

the mum phoned me later and said her son had watched windows drying and they were drying smeary and streaky!

I said wait until completely dry and call me back.
fortunately she called back to say they were fine ;D

it`s a shame no matter how hard you try to explain some people listen but they don`t hear   :o
