Not again!

Finished one house then moved on to next door "I wouldn't have bothered with that one luv - she's dead!"
So inconsiderate, people should tell you when they are going to die. Shan't be seeing any money for that one.

It never ceases to amaze me how far some people will go to get out of paying.

You should claim it of her estate. And add a dying without being told surcharge of 20% of the house value.

This is no word of a lie. This actually happened to me.

I did my usual ring the bell and start straight away on a top window. Door opens and I grin and put a thumb up just as I realise that it is not my trusty elderly customer but a younger lady in a smart black outfit. Behind her I see four or five well dressed men and women in the hallway.

As my jaw drops in surprise a hearse pulls up behind me (with my customer led in the back) and a limo behind it to pick up the family.

So there I am pee-ing water at the fanlight, pole extended, beanie hat and hi viz right in the middle of a funeral pick up!  :o ::)roll

I just apologised profusely, lowered my pole and stood respectfully to one side as they all stepped over my hose on the way to the cars. The husband of one of the ladies gave a gruff laugh and said don't worry mate, stick your bill through and we'll get it paid.

And they did - with an instruction to continue until the house was sold or put through probate.

It's a game of three halves!
