of course the jehovah guy is allowed to start his own round,he can either a)buy work or b)canvass newbuilds or get work through advertising this certain guy had actually came to my friend for a job so after 3 months he knew all my friends work and prices,one day he packed his job in and said he had enough work to go it alone,2 months later my friend started seeing him more and more cleaning windows in the estates that my friend had 80-95% of the custom in soon after my friend was losing work as the guy was undercutting him by a 3rd and although my friend wouldnt admit it the jehovah guy was more professional looking,im guessing that went a long way in gaining the customers,dont you think thats a right cheeky barsteward you give the guy a job and then he feks you over? as for how they got rid of him umm i dont know all the details as im sure that would make me somehow involved or turning a blind eye to criminal activity but heresay i gather he was warned a few times and he went through 3 vans in 2 months because they spontaneously combusted lol

hi cozy,i havent bought the round as yet,im just saying if i thought about the window cleaning business like some do on here then i wouldnt bother forking out for work if any tom,dick or harry could just nick it from me,my gf told me few weeks ago that her mother and her neighbours arent happy with their window cleaner and i could go do theirs but i dont think that way i guess im old fashioned.Every window cleaner i know and i know loads through the west coast and they all the think the same way,keeping to your own areas,not stepping on others toes basically do to others as youd have done to yourselves,karma has its way of biting you in the ass,its different if an old boy gives up the ghost or someone has an accident in which case we normally help the guy out with his work till he decides hes ready to come back,infact the only wcer i met with a different attitude is the jehovah guy.

Are "scouser jehovah guys" who move to be near their girlfriend's allowed to have patches Paul? And when you send them "back to where they came from" how do you do it?


yet again you have totally misread a post.I never sent noone back to where they came from.

Cozy I think youll find this only happens in very few areas,

From what I understand, I think it's generally a more Northern thing.  Probably because unemployment has traditionally been higher away from the southeast.

im about to buy a round for 4k and if anyone thinks they will just be able to turn up  thinking the work i buy is fair game is either extremely brave or extremely stupid,my mates got a round in glasgow and this scouse jehovah witness who moved up to be near his gfs family thought the way some do on here and thought he could undercut people needless to say he was sent homewards to think again.  ;D

Sorry Paul perhaps I should be more lucid - I meant how do you (collectively) send them back as per your post here... perhaps you forgot you posted it?

Now I understand - you (collectively) torch his van ... you (collectively) seem just the type that I would lose my customers to.... not.

It's a game of three halves!

Well that's very nice of you to make up rules to suit you. Isn't legislation a govenment job. Ah I forgot, you are judge, jury and ex....
