i said on here about a month ago about a hotel getting rid of me then finding out that they went and got a polish guy, i sent them an email thanks for your custom feel free to ring me if ever you need me back.

i wasnt bothered until the other day, they were awful payers, first few times fantastic cash on day, then "we'll send it" took ages for it, cleaned again so were 2 outstanding...2 months to get money, fair enough i said to them im not cleaning again till i get the money.

got money and re started the cleaning, and they went and did it again 2 months outstanding, so again i said look im not doing them again till i get paid. i think it took 3 months to pay me

anyway, to get back on track the reason im pigged off is because i heard from the new window cleaner through his friend that they had been bad mouthing me saying i never turned up!!!!!! >:( not impressed, i dont think id take em back even if they asked now

we both know it was them being poor payers

You now know that you will probably loose it again in another couple of years, some companies like to regularly change contractor because they work under the assumption that a new broom sweeps clean!
