Title: A Very Honest Customer
Post by: D.Salkeld_Ltd on October 05, 2006, 06:35:25 pm
Hi Folks,

I Got this letter today.

I think it was a realy honest request and, I might add, understanderble.

Trouble was I went to do the job before I had recievec the post.  Did the front and, as the lady was so honest, I offered to do the upstairs whenever she could afford.

Poor old luv.
Just goes to show, windowcleaning is indeed a non-essential service.

Another thought on the mater -

Energy bills have soared over the last year.  I wonder how many others might try to save our bill towards the extra Gas and Electricity bills?

It's an all or nothing society out there aint it really. There's always gonna be the poor old lambs out there who aint got a pot to P@*& in and who give you puppy dog eyes at the very thought of you putting their prices up. Then their neighbours tell ya they're never out the bingo hall  >:( >:( >:(

In fact Dave , you will probably find that you have been undercut by another w/c by a mere pound , OAP's have had a lot more years at cutting costs than you or i !

If you want to keep the job why not suggest you do it every other month at £18 a pop. 18 x 6 = £108

Her windows stay "respectable", she pays less per annum and you get a good wack. Try it!
