So says Mr T. (No not that one) to me.
Me: Sorry?
Mr T: Last time the windows looked like someone chucked a bucket of dishwater on them.
Me: Really, all of them or just some of them?
Him: The ones at the back. You'd driven off and my son said "Dad, look at the state of those windows!"
Me: You should have phoned me and called me back to look at them. I'd have come back. It's strange I do five on your side of the road and they've not mentioned anything. (I'm thinking perhaps I zoned out and didn't do his downstairs backs and the tops dripped on them) Was it all the windows at the back?
Him: Yes! The whole house actually I just got the garden hose out and washed them off.
Me: (Thinking that doesn't make sense) And that did the trick?
Him: Well, yes.
Me: Well it doesn't look like they've been cleaned with a hosepipe and 8 weeks have gone by too.
Him: What do you mean?
Me: If you'd cleaned them with a hosepipe, the water round here is very hard and you would have mineral marks all over them; they don't seem to bad for west facing after 8 weeks.
Him: Err ... well the rain has kept them clean.
Me: So what do you want me to do? After all after 8 weeks anything might have happened.
Him: Well you could do them for nothing this time.
Me: What do you need me for? - a quick wash with a hose and let the rain finish it off - who needs a window cleaner? Cya!
