I've only had 2 days rained off in the last month, and I live 30 miles from Gloucester.
It's all bullocks mate. It hasn't been that wet.
It's just not sunny enough for summer.
It's always rained at night or first or last thing.
Hardly ever in work hours. ;)

still earning a good crust between showers, bit of rain never hurt anyone.

I work up to and including moderate rain these days. WFP helps in this because it doesn't get marked in the way that detergent film does. Shouldn't be a problem with W/Cing the trad way either. After all, it can be sunny one day and rain the next anyway. I've been surprised how little opposition I've had to working in the rain. Wish I had started doing it years ago.
-
If i can get out on the road, rain, shine, snow, moderate wind ect i will work. Bills dont pay themselves!
-
Will be working tomorrow as the bridge has been re-opened that leads into the town where most of my work is. Up until now it has meant a huge diversion following plebs who cant reverse down little country lanes . I'm sure there will be the old `its going to rain` crowd but hell, I've got ALOT of bills to pay.
Praise be for global warming I say.
-
yeah i`ve got a reasonable carpet cleaning thing going to BUT everyone
seems a bit tight lately and the low cutter brigade have been about!!!!!
BUT im still 13 weeks behind........... >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Me too.
I worked through 4 days of rain a couple of weeks ago and no-one batted an eyelid. In fact people seemed pleasantly suprised to see me.
I never started work in the rain before that. Not anymore.
If anyone mentions it, i would say i'm very busy with my round and don't have alot of time to down tools.
I do remind people if i'm working in the rain that i guarantee my work and if there is a problem with the clean and they let me know, i will return to put things right.

There has been many times over the past few years when we in the North have been the ones getting the inclement weather conditions, snow, rain, etc and ydown south have had it easy with blazing sunshine every day.
However at the moment (touch wood) we are getting away quite lightly here, we're fully up to date with work and picking up new work every day.
I do feel sorry for those who have been severely affected by the floods though.
How many times have people had their bbq's out this year, I think we've managed it twice!
-
I've been dodging the showers but its not been that bad. The worst bit is the continual uncertainty but today is lovely.
Much worse last year because of the heat. I found that knackered me.

Im in the same boat, no pun intended, customers have been understanding, because it has rain almost every day, almost forgot I was a window cleaner sometimes.

Lost quite a lot due to wfp, and the others I've done quicker, so I'm a week short.

How many did you lose Rog? I lost about 12 out of 220 (some of them my choice). Since then, the jobs I've taken on have been better quality and better priced for the most part and the ones I've lost or stopped doing have been poorer ones mostly.
You will make it up again but like me, you're probably finding you have to hunt for a bit more work at times. I'm not used to this as it's been a long time since I needed to look for work.

Think I lost about 8 and dropped about 25.

You may find as I have that you have had many of your current customers for so long that referrals from them happened quite a long time ago. I'm starting to track new work recently and a trickle of fresh referrals is starting to come from that. I know you dislike working Saturdays but I find that working Saturdays in areas where I want more work gets me noticed and that has brought some new work in.
