well in that case it sounds like there on your patch lol i mean its not the law is it ppl can get business were ever they want and if u do get the job its because the other window cleaner is not doing a good job and they should just get over it i had someone take a job off me once but i fort fair play to the guy and it made me fort maybe my work was a bit s**t so made me a better window cleaner i have never lost a job since due to a bad job i mean if someone was knocking on the door saying they could do it cheaper then i might have a problem. but if someone just putting flyers though the door its no skin off my nose its a good test to see how loyal your custies are.

It's funny, I remember some years back when I had just gone over to wfp.

A chap who I didn't know was parked up in a road I clean in, and I thought I'd break the ice and say hi, he was already wfp, and I thought i'd have a word regarding trad to wfp move. 

Well the arrogance spilt out of his old silver double cab, didn't even want to look up to me to speak, if I hadn't have had my son with me in the van lets just say a fat lip was on the cards  :)

Have always got on with the majority of shiners in my area, a little chat and exchange of wisdom can pass the day just seem every now and then you find a twat.
