Title: Do you clean for famous people?
Post by: Lee Burbidge on August 01, 2016, 09:55:55 am
Have you ever cleaned windows for famous people. Of course it's important to share information on celeb's only if you are comfortable alternatively you may want to share pass celeb's you have cleaned.

Skip over to the WCM section in this forum and watch how Jeff got his foot in the door cleaning windows for the rich and famous and how he networks generally...

I clean Limahl's windows, from Kagagoo (To shy shy, hush hush, eye to eye).

Try beating that one.

I also clean the mansion that Catherine Jenkins used to live in.  Unfortunately it's owned by a psychotic Welsh dragon with a dodgy looking plastic face now.

Oh, I also clean the windows of one of the writers for Inspector Morse.  Is that famous?

A few, not much point in saying who. One played a lead role in All Creatures Great and Small.; a very very nice chap. Easy going, kind, humble.

Another is a make-up artist to 'the stars' who was also a model as well as her sister.

One used to be Prince Charles' PPS at the time Princess Diana died.  Crap payer, binned him.

Used to clean for Peter Brackley who'll probably only be known by football fans. Lived 'next door' to us in Dorset for a long time. As a commentator he never said much when he was home but a very pleasant chap with a delightful wife who always turned up with a cup of tea.

I was at the Mull of Kintyre helicopter crash memorial in Belfast and I met one of her kids, Prince Charles.  He spoke to me too.

He said "Shift!"

I can go one better than anyone on here.

I cleaned windows as a one off the other week.

The owner when he previously lived somewhere up north used to have his windows cleaned by a famous ex footballer from the late 60's and early 70's.

Jeff Astle, anyone remember him?

You're right, seems it was the 1970 finals. But he did play for England in the 1966 finals of Its A knockout, dressed as a banana trying to knock foreign competitors into a barrel of oil.
