Never heard such a rant i am shocked ???

The reason is she's old ;D

Us oldies reckon we have a right to get a bit cantankerous as the years pass ::)

We have one just up the road from me - every so often she rings in and says what a shower we are - make a right mess of her windows and she never wants us on her property again.  Then next time our chap is doing her next door neighbour she demands to know why he isn't doing hers ;D

We play it by ear - if she's in a good mood she gets it done, if she starts ranting she gets missed.

Always make sure we get paid at the time, though ;D ;D

If he's that short sighted, move a few garden ornaments about while you're working.  When he falls over them you can tell him that proves you were there ;D ;D

I have just had a call ranting that I have not been to collect. We haven't cleaned her windows for over a year.

I asked her to read out the card that was left and it was a card for another window cleaner and she didn't bother to call the number on the card, she just got my number from her old telephone book.

You should do the decent thing and go and collect it then if she is telling you to ;D

i had an old woman having a go at me today, i stopped doing her windows ages ago as the job was very dangerous to do off ladders and explained h&s to her. she comes up to me today and says i`ve rang h&s and they say you can do what you like on ladders and then told me i`ve lied to her. i said i wish i known earlier i could be saving myself a whole lot of cash on going wfp.
