They come and go around South Bristol
I tell them the best place to clean is north Bristol
ok thanks mr gold,i am able to get up and do a bit of walking but it means i got to sleep after for a 1hour or 2,sleeping with the metal in me back is not my idea of fun ;DThey come and go around South Bristol

The good thing is only a nutter from South Bristol would want to drive through Bristol to get to North Bristol - and vice versa.
Howya doin Franky?
Things are terrible these days! I don't know how we're going to be able to carry on, everyone and his dog is becoming a window cleaner.That is because you not under any pressure ;D
Oh for the days when I was the only window cleaner in town ;D I had a waiting list almost as long as my 'active' list. Everyone felt sorry for me - having to scrape a living in such a lowly menial job and I was always careful not to disillusion them. I had it all to myself and earned at least twice the average wage for year after year.
And it's still good ;D Certainly there are 'window cleaners' crawling out of the woodwork, especially when the sun shines but as everyone else has said, it doesn't impact on our business. There has been a very noticeable drop in the flow of enquiries over the last 5 or 6 years but still enough to keep my lads topped up and happy.
And if it got really tough, I can still canvass - I did a bit a few weeks ago, picked up a nice little bit of new work and thoroughly enjoyed it.

You need to have a quiet word with him
Mostly new wfp cleaners who don't last very long, have seen a few new traditional guys who seem to be sticking it out.
Its crappy new wfp cleaners who don't have a clue that annoy me more, I'm the one who has to defend the method after
they have put potential customers off it for life.
For me the horror started when my leaflets didn't work and the realisation that its not just a matter of the phone
ringing non stop with people begging for me to clean their windows.
Canvassing that's the horror from hell that finishes off a lot of the shiny van brigade. :o

How long u been a windy Sean? that was the scariest thing for me, looked into getting a canvasser and couldn't find one so the only answer was to do it myself!
i think there is a couple more, do not worry about them.As for moaning about work getting canvased i don't either when people under cut me , like a few have already said must be doing something right.
