Every cloud has a silver lining! It keeps the doleys and the non-committed away.

WFP-ers should bear in mind that a very few years ago the water companies did their best to ban us from using our equipment.  They failed, but managed to get the regulations changed to make it far more likely they will succeed in the event of another drought.

While we have this rain, that evil day is kept at bay ::)

very true, picked up some new customers this week..

"my window cleaner has stopped/disappeared, do you work during the winter?"

I have to work in the rain, but a number of my custies dont mind - as im always on time now and reliable.

If they dont want it done, i'll tell them i see them next month when im round again.
