Hi guys. :)
This is my first post so i thought i would ask something a bit more lighthearted than the norm.
On my very first morning window cleaning way back in 1976 aged 16 an old granny asked me if i would i like a cuppa, i said i would have to ask my boss who was at next doors, he came round and said listen lad there are 3 things you never refuse when cleaning windows, money & a cuppa, i said whats the third thing, he said i'm not telling you but if you are asked you will know what it is because you wont say no, over 30 years later and i still dont know the third thing, any idea's guys.
By the way my girlfreind doesn't use this site so all answers are safe. ;D

Hi Kieth
Joe figured it out.
But i was wondering would your answer still be yes, yes, and yes, now. You have to take into account when next you will be able to pee for instance, and many of us do not take cash anyway because it simplifies things when employing and is clearer for the tax man; as for the third a more professional approach would be to return when you have finished your round for the day (But before her old man gets home of course.).
what became of your mentor by the way, did he retire rich, or just shagged out?

Looks like number 3 is the obvious answer then but over the years i have been offered some strange things, the strangest being a caravan.
The guy who offered it to me asked would i take it in return for a years free clean, it was a bit clapped out so i said no.
bwoofie, i had a wife for many a year until getting divorced in 98.
slumpbuster, my old mentor gave up window cleaning after a couple of years and went into the building trade so i bought his round off him with a loan off my dad and i have never looked back since.
Have you guys been offered any strange things over the years, either in payment for your services or as a freebie.

Years ago there was always a lot of the third thing on offer. That was in the days when most wives stayed at home all day.
My mate Steve was always disappearing, so much so we used to call him Lord Lucan.
I think these days I would prefer the chocky bix.
-
The third thing is clean water, we never refused an offer for clean water, but that was before we used squeegees.
-
as for the third thing ,ide rather have a steak and kidney pie these days ;)
-
Ive been offered a haircut by a customer,
The job is a £15 house so i politely refused.

He was a bit of a ladies man, i can remember a few times he would send me to the shop for a can of pop or a bar of chocolate and he would say take your time lad, a bit like your older brother giving you some money to go to the pictures when your parents were out for the night, heh heh.
