All those wet weather lads that say "Yeah, I clean I the rain. You've just got to train your customers and man up", well here's your chance, crack on then lads!  ::)roll
 
When they say it's going to be bad today, frankly it's like that where I am here in Wales regularly, and that's why I have spare days for wet weather.

The problem with the weather over the past week plus what we are going to get is the wind as a rule i will work in the rain but not in strong winds when it is lashing against the windows .

I went collecting last week a day after cleaning some houses and after some overnight rain and strong winds the windows when i checked them as i walked up to the house's did not look like they had been cleaned .

I even had the odd custy comment but i did say it was out of my control so you have got to tread with a little caution at times ,

 It all depends on how much you really need to get your work done i only have about 8 hrs work to do as over the past 2-3 weeks i have been bringing a days work or more  forward and working 6 day weeks while i could as i knew i would be off for a week so why lose out so much and be getting in a panic that you cant get through your work in time for xmas  .

FORWARD PLANNING MY FELLOW WINDYS . Mike

This is God's revenge for having a town so full of weirdos.

What town do you live in Geoff?

I've got my own town, set side for just me.  It's called, 'Geofftown', not to be confused with Grifftown or Hectown.

This way, I am guaranteed to be weirdo-free.  But it does mean I have to travel a lot for work.

I live 14 floors up and I was just watching a windie trying to clean windows wfp along a road opposite.

He could hardly hold the pole upright for more than a few seconds at a time to rinse the windows. I was amazed he was even trying.

Not only that, being a coastal town, the windows facing away from the rain will just get covered in salt very quickly.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

I am in the south west of Ireland. Been wet and windy here today, as it has been for the last two weeks, but have still managed to get a few done. I will be out again tomorrow for more of the same. I don't expect to get round to everyone who hoped to see me before the christmas holiday. But hey ho, what can you do?

Being diplomatic is being able to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.

I wouldn't want some fella turning up at the window while I was stuffing the bird, either.

On Saturday I went out to try to do a few, but the persistent heavy rain saw to it that nothing got done, but I did manage to rearrange some of the work for Friday 27th.

Over here most people don't want to see me between christmas and new year, so I am happy to have the opportunity to do some work then.
