Title: Worst place in uk to be a window cleaner.
Post by: zesty on November 24, 2022, 07:10:54 am
Come on then, where’s the worst place?

I’m going with the Cardiff, rains so much they don’t know what the sun is.

Must be miserable working in rain almost daily  8)


It is a city though, so good opportunities for window cleaning can obviously be had.

Still, I hate working in the rain, so I’m going with Cardiff.

I do a quarterly apartment block clean in Blackpool, and the first of the year is in January. Love Blackpool but my word it’s grim in the middle of winter.

South west, battered by storms constantly. Use to working in strong winds living here and use to many a rainy day. East is best West is worse for weather, always has been because of the Atlantic ocean being closer.

I would imagine window cleaning anywhere on the coast with sea salt on the glass.every clean must be like a first clean!

I actually love the areas where I work which is mainly  leafy suburbs/semi rural areas

Well the UK has an unlimited amount of poo holes and deprived areas to choose from take your pick.

Some of my guesses would be Blackpool, Burnley, Middlesbrough.

Picked up my transit custom from Grimsby, must admit I was glad to be on the road home as soon as the payment went through.

Like me if you don't like working in the rain.
https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/huddersfield-confirmed-wettest-place-yorkshire-20935867
Cardiff first
Glasgow second
Hudds third.
But if rain doesn't bother you I'd say London.
Congestion zone, ULEZ,  LTN, Parking, Cycle lanes.

It's got to be the North ( much more rain than here in the south )  or as someone else has said anywhere on the coast in windy conditions.
Personally, I feel those of us cleaning in the south are pretty blessed with weather, generally :) I'd be very happy liviing in the North though, lovely people and some amazing countryside.

Is The North a plaice?
I got some moody clobber from Cheetham Hill called The North Plaice.

Burnley. Had the police come to our Airbnb to check we were okay!

Liverpool. One of guys trod in human poo, in the car park by the van.

Milton Keynes. One of our guys pulled and found out it was a bloke, got scared and then the hemale told the police he tried to rape him/her. They came round at 4am to arrest him.

The smell of Berking/Dagenham in the summer is probably my least favourite place to work.

Mad innit. I consider myself an open minded liberal person but crapping in the street has never seemed an option.

I'm in Tralee in the emerald isle. It's got its good and bad points; one of the good being some genuinely lovely people, especially  the travellers. The ones I know really are straightforward, down to earth people and I get along really well with them. One of the down sides; there's an old guy who pees in the street, facing away from the wall and in full view of passers by.
