What happens with first time customers, if they're over 60, you need to guarantee that you will butter their bottoms.

You have to get wedges of lard and slather it all over their fat pasty 4rses and smack it good and proper until it goes all red.

Then wash off with pure water.

HTH.

Yeh, I always charge well for buttering, but since I went van-mounted-SLX, I prefer cleaning windows with a lightweight pole since it's a lot less physically demanding than buttering.

It's well paid, but physically demanding.

I am glad I did not reply to her that it's included in the price already. So now I have to put up a price a little

Yeah it does... I've had a few oldies ask me over the years if I "buffer" the windows with a cloth instead of leaving them wet!

Good, you need a sense of humour to be here.


So what you on about?  'buttering'?

Perhaps she means her morning toast?

Maybe she had one of those window cleaners who offer a full service? Just try to ignore the wrinkles and pretend it's Katie Price with a gag on and wearing a paper bag over her head while you're on the job.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Viktor - I'm guessing English isn't your first language and that you do a good Draklier accent ...

If you look at a computer keyboard you will see that "B" isn't far from "G" and that a slip of a finger might hit a B instead of a G.

Therefore she probably wants a price for guttering - now you need to find out if she wants it cleaned, cleared out, repaired or replaced.

Zat is vot I zink anyvay!  ;D
It's a game of three halves!
