best thing to do is if their trad is to wait until they climb their ladder and then give the ladder a little "shake" while their stretching on one leg to reach the top openers!works a treat!it gives them a real scare!! ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

That reminds me of when I was putting up the bellbox for a burglar alarm system I was installing. It was a bit of a dodgy stretch over the porch so I took my son, then about 8 to foot the ladder. Right at the bit where I was both hands off feeding in the wire he thought it would be funny to give the ladder a shake.

well has anyone ever considered the supposed w/c chasing you from their supposed w/c rounds are not real window cleaners,  you heard me right, drug dealers are investing into w/c to launder their money, buying up rounds ect, its true, so possibly your invading their territory, this is fact,

Oh yeah, you're right bloke who attacked was 49, other guy was 'in his forties'

The blokes still a turd, why sort things out like that?

I've no idea i don;t know the full facts. I can only go on what i read. You seem to have got it completley wrong . The courts who had all the facts however gave him a very lenients sentence. Makes you (or me anyway) wonder why?

I was working away one day when a young guy came along dropping leaflets. When he was at the house I was working on he stopped and apprehensively asked if he was on my patch.

I said he was free to go where he likes as I don't believe in patches. I even pointed to the house across the street. The owner had approached me minutes before and had rejected my quote, so I told the young guy he might get him as a customer.

We had a chat for a few minutes during which I gave him a few tips and wished him well.

Well done John.  I had something similar happen to me, knocked a door and the lady came out the back garden, said her windy was there doing it now  ;D  I popped my head in to say hello and he and his lad were nice guys, had a chat and told em they were doing a good job then on my way.  I didn't pick up any though  :(  ;D

Carl@clearview,

Hi mate, are you putting out A3 trifolded leaflets? Are you finding a different response to A5?

yep A3 triples for me m8

im getting 2/3 calls per thousand delivered ( same day phone call ) from regular cleans to all manor of extras.

for me they are the best by a mile, costs are £83 per thousand delivered inc flyers. so not cheap.

i think i have filled 2 days work in 1 month of cream custies and done loads of extras, connies,fascias etc etc

putting out 2k per week at the minute and intend to keep it going..
