Hope you dont take this the wrong way mick, but considering you've been going 10 years, do you need to ask what others would charge to give you reasurrance...?

Or is this another opportunity to let everyone know how much more expensive you are...?

Sometimes I find the need to post things on here, not for the reason you're implying, but for some reassurance, a check-up to ensure I'm inline so to speak. I'm sure we can all have a tendency to start to over egg the price and maybe get a gut feeling were beginning to over-step the mark, I do. There's Nought wrong with asking, I think they're very useful and amongst other things help me to realize how fortunate I am where I live and what it's like to work in other parts of the country.

It's tedious when u ask and are put down by posts like yours. Stops me posting. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing I'm sure you think. And that's fine. But do it at the peril of the forum losing out because people will stop posting altogether.

I'm with the donkey on this. I rarely even read the how much posts any more. What reassurance do you want, why do you give a flying monkies what anyone else might charge? If I thought for a second that I might be overcharging, the last thing I'd do is post about it on the internet.

£80 seems like a liberty btw.

Its no liberty when i get a £20 tip each time from home owner as well is it, he is well happy and has been for the last 2 years now.
i have 33 jobs round the area and get good prices off of them all.
It help that its in a conjestion charge area to get too and also helps with the parking restrictions as many window cleaners wouldnt bother trying to get work there especialy having to do them on a sunday like i normally do which is also best to actualy get the homeowners in round there.

No ladder needed richy.

So, do you ask, - like Bateman - because you want to see if you're overcharging..

Or is it another reason?

What the hell is your problem you boring old git?? I dont need to justify myself to you!.
Whats wrong in posting something that doesnt happen every day with getting fronts at that sort of price without the homeowner batting an eyelid??
Its a bit of fun.

Chill Mick. It was just a question. If you do it just for fun that's fine, I don't give a toss, I'm not asking you to justify yourself, all I wanted to know was if you were asking (like Bateman said he was) because you were worried you might be overcharging.

You asked how much, I said £10: you told me you get 10x that. Good for you, it doesn't effect me in the slightest.

I think in central London any price the customer is willing to pay is ok as there's the nightmare and horrendous cost of parking and the traffic jams.

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.

It does if youre pricing structure is faulty. Nothing wrong in asking. See.

Youve convinced us of one thing in less than the ten minutes it took you on the phone before anyway.

Comparing prices near me to those in central London is a bit of a pointless exercise.

If you want to use clean it up to gauge your prices in comparison to others that's fine too.

People don't half get themselves excited.

Hmmm, are you sure it took 10 minutes?
