Roy,
I'll give Mrs Reynolds a call tomorrow.
Cheers mate.
Regards,
Tosh.
PS. I haven't a clue where Bigswear is! But from your post I'm guessing it's not far from Chepstow, even though it's not a Chepstow number!

Bigswear is just up from Tintern, you go towards monmouth and turn right over the River bridge.

That is very kind of you to do that.
I dont think there are many window cleaners up here that would do that!

I phoned Mrs Reynolds this morning; she heard my accent (a Geordie one) and was over the moon because she too is from the North East.
I asked her where exactly she was from and she said, 'Sunderland'.
Being a Geordie, we hate Macams (people from Sunderland), so I bade her farewell and said 'Hell would freeze over before I cleaned your stinking windows'.
Not really, she is a Macam though, so I'll charge her an extra 50 p on my initial quote.
Thanks for the tip, Roy, it seems many of her neighbors are after a window cleaner and it sounds like a pleasant place to work in.
Cheers,
That's a beer I owe you.
Regards,
Tosh.

Hope it goes well, glad I could pass some work on.

Roy,
I'm not long back from Bigswear, which I confused for Brockweir; but got there in the end.
It was three small(ish) semi-sized houses and two bungalows, one with a conservatory.
I got decent prices for them and there's more work in the pipeline here.
Anyway,
Cheers,
Tosh.
-
Thanks for letting me know.

Only a Geordie-Japanese ex-army sergeant could mix up Bigsweir and Brockweir! ;D
Repeat after me - Bigsweir is the blue bridge, Brockweir is the rusty white bridge - I would've thought that a Geordie could differentiate a bridge or two - after all there's loads on the Tyne! ;D
((I'm only jealous cuz such a fantastic part of the country is just too far away (25 miles and a bridge toll) for me to work in!))

Malc,
It is picturesque; though a tadge snobby. One neighbor there was complaining to me that another neighbor had built a fence and wasn't happy about it.
The offending fence was no-where near this ladies property; as in you couldn't see it from her house, so I asked why the fence is a problem.
'Because this is a hedge and stone-wall area', she told me!!!!
I thought if that's the worst she can complain about, she's extremely lucky, compared to the 'drugs, loud-music and chav' problems some of my other customers have.
----------------------------
Oh, as for being confused about bridges (this next bit is true), yesturday morning I had a text message from what I thought was the lady Roy had put onto me; it was from a 'Vannessa in B'Wier'.
I assumed it was 'Roy's lady' from Bigsweir reminding me to come and quote for her. We exchanged text messages and I turned up to quote. I called the lady Vanessa, but she told me her name is June!
That really confused me.
In the end I phoned up 'Vanessa'; and as it turned out she was some lady I'd met briefly at traffic lights in town and given a business card too.
Anyway, this Vanessa who lived in 'B'Weir', is actually in Brockweir, the place I mistook for Bigswear. So not only did I confuse locations, but also potential new customers.
It was a strange day and I think my 5.00 am start and too much heat didn't help either.

Just thought I'd resurrect this thread - look how nice and polite we all were. (Roy still is of course!)

It was before Tosh became radicalised at the gym.

No wonder he drank.
Being nicer ped is a sad state of affairs to be in.
-
Actually I've just read it again ... I wasn't very polite - but Tosh was! ;D
-
How odd. Just been cleaning panels down there today. Very pretty.
-
Is it called Bigsweir, Bigswear , Big Soup or do names not matter in that Whales?

Was this about the time you sent that abusive e-mail the mod?

Uh oh, someones touched a nerve.

No, that was Lammy's nerve, when he threatened to knock your head off and you wet your knickers.
That was really funny. ;D

That means a lot to me, that you should have such fond memories off myself.
