Whilst working  i do notice that so many shiners have a chip on there shoulder some are so rude and just dont want to know, a lot act as if your not there or they clean as fast as they can to show off, the best are the ones cleaning opposite with the evils. I catch them looking with the corner of there eye but still they dont wont say hello, its mainly trad guys that are the worse. Im not saying all window cleaners are as have met some realy nice down to earth guys out in the streets but defo a high percentage are miserable gits with attitude.

How do you find it?? Or are you a misserable bar steward who blancs other shiners.

I do say hello mainly coz i want to see if they want to sell any work to me. A lot dont give much away or they blag. The amount of trad cleaners who insist they get 300+ each day working from a mondeo estate is unbelievable.

Luckily i have never had patch wars in my area. I have by accident caused a bunch of lads turn up at ian wicks house wanting he's blood as me and my team were canvassing there patch.(sorry for that ian lolol). I wonder if we have blancked any fellow ciu shiners in the past.

i always avoid,ian(his now more successful than me),richard (isparkle)(because he can clean £500 a day),richy (wilts)because i owe him a book,a pole,parts for pumps,gav(he always looks fierce to me)

avoid these people at all costs

[Ian101]

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

[Ian101]

[dazmond]

most who work near me are ok and are pretty friendly as i know most of em.its the ones who are trad only who seem to give me "the look" who come from miles away.i have had some guys from leigh threatening me over the phone but that was many years ago!!

[Mike #1]

Most of the windys in my area i get on well with just the odd one who does not speak . and i dont mind offering help or advice to lads wanting to convert to WFP . Mike

[SB Cleaning]

I always try and say hello or acknowledge them...

Sometimes I get them come up and talk to me, sometimes I get a wave, sometimes they try and pretend I'm not there.

I can honestly say I have never had the stare or bad vibes off any one though....

I am a big lad though

What sort of things do u get ian? i cover wirral don't no if u cover any bits on wirral.. what anoys me is if you done an area with no other window cleaner and he would not think about coming and canvasing that area.. but its diffrent if its the other way round!

theres enough work for everyone to go around i really dont see the problem with these idiots.. specialy when i charge aout 50% more anyway 

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

why what happened ?

hope your fella ok !

hes fine thanks ian he can hold is own being a 18 stone meathead , started with a leaft drop , then a rusty old car with tripples on the roof pulls up and a couple of guys with tacky bottoms tooked in there socks  

i am sure you know how it went from there , worrieing thing is how many other window cleaners have these guys done it too befoure they bumped into someone that called there bluff not good at all
