Most expensive accident?
« on: January 30, 2004, 06:36:00 pm »
About 17years ago I managed to drop a 3 1/2 mtr ladder through a front door that happened to have a presservation order on it!! Total cost for the glass was
£706.05 including VAT. Customer was so glad to learn I was insured as his last window cleaner wasn't. I was glad too!Thats my best or should I say worst. Can anyone top that?

the wall, :odirty black goo every where all over the off white carpet ??? :o :Pat that moment ???in walks the man himself ???by this time the water was now 1 inch
deep in places :oI said good morning,he said o dear :o

well this went on for some time utill it got sorted ???

my Insurance had run out by just a couple of days ??? :'(
£1000 later out of my pocket it came :'(I have to say I did not lose the contract,as MR Thompson and myself
had to wipe our mouths ;)and get on with it ;)
