Title: Have to share this....!!
Post by: simon knight on December 31, 2007, 08:05:22 am

Mrs K on early shift today so dropped her off at Waitrose at 7.15am.

And there he is, the old geezer who does lots of the shop fronts along Putney High Street....bucket, blade, pole and applicator in hand.

Now I've seen the results of his work when he's done it in full daylight and it ain't good....runs galore ::)...he makes even me look good ;D

Gonna pop back later and see what his efforts look like after he's done 'em in the dark :-\

Call me old fashioned guys but I'd sooner wait until it's light so that I can see clearly what I'm doing and see that the end result is OK.

It`s fine doing shops in the dark,just make sure you use a new blade.Most shop`s have some sort of internal lights on anyway which makes it easy to see what your doing.

I don't do shops so it's irrelevant to me.  I suppose with commercial you don't have too much choice as to when they're cleaned.

Simon, yes. In Harrow the window cleaners are there before 6.30 am summer and winter. They have to be finished and get the vehicles out by a certain time. They do the other shops as well before the parking restrictions start at 8. The wardens give no concessions.

Well, If you had cleaned them in the daylight it would have only taken you 10 years!  ;D
