No I don't, some of my ones that have cancelled have been good customers. To give you an example> One guy was talking to me about his business, he said his phone had never been so quiet. Next time I cleaned his wife paid me and said they would have to leave it for a while.

No problem, I've been there myself.

Another lady told me she had her hours cut at work.

A big local employer has announced 81 redundancies by Christmas. Thats in all the local papers.

My wife works in the NHS, they are getting loads of letters from people who are just writing in on the off chance enquiring if there are any jobs.

The hassle people don't get a chance to cancel because they get dumped PDQ.

What credit crunch?

A mere myth, 

Pure coincidence or what???

Yellow pages directory has had very few window cleaners listed or advertised in recent, previous years.
Now in this latest edition delivered to households, it's crammed pack full of listings and advertisements from window cleaners who never bothered before with the exception of the odd few regular ones. Are they losing work, expecting to lose a lot of work or just plain greedy for more work than they can handle

more ads in yellow Pages could be more out of work guys trying their hand at wc. Spent their redundo on some tools and an advert and away they go. minimal outlay, can't blame them for trying.
