The good thing about it is you only get knocked for £12 how would you feel if you were a plumber and just put a new bathroom in for them?

£12 is nothing, annoying but not enough to change your life.

These people are too stupid to worry about.
Yes it's annoying I've been there myself.
You're out £12 and the rest which is annoying.
You are clever enough to understand and explain how wfp works.
They are too thick to understand or want to understand.

You are smart - they are not!


i agree.....................but egg them just to be on the safe side ;D

I know, it is nothing about that £12. It's just the fact, that they windows are clean and they facing me and telling that they won't pay me. But its fine, today I had at least 100 pound new monthly bookings (just because I have done a good job as all of them are word of mouth)

In fact two months ago I have done windows inside out and a cony for a lady. Bill 65 pounds.
She was not picking up her phone for two weeks, I made that job written-off on WCP. To my big surprise, she phoned last week, claiming she hasn't paid her bill and if I could give her my account details. Paid next day.
Point is that I did not feel that bad about 65 as no one tried to make a fool out of me...

now heres a tale that hasnt ended yet .  A Bloke i cleaned his windows dirt cheap 3 years ago when i first started ,well he cancelled on the third clean and i let it go. Tother week he sees me other side of town working and hurrys up to me ,hes dressed in a fancy security guy uniform  ,with clipboard,asks me to go round his grans ,have a look ,then Liaise the job with him . Dont bother the gran as she is deaf as a post
 Well,me  here thinks,sod that,i will go speak to the gran and get it sorted . so i knock her door but she is quite abrupt and has no interest in me cleaning,nor has she a grandson thats in security,nor is she deaf !
  i have googled the blokes number and turns out he has a business installing security alarms. own website
  im thinking i can arrange for him to travel to a faraway town to do a quote on a house that doesnt exist . if i time it right ,with a faraway job of my own , me and  my lad will be sitting in a cafe across the road ,having our lunch, watching  when he turns up to do the quote
ya sure you wrote the address down right ? werent stoned were you Bobby ? ;)
