You need to get more custies mate, then these mongs just give you something to laugh about. When you have too many custies, you can have fun with mongs like him.

You should have said
"Oh are the goldfish alright then 'cos I spilled a bucket of cleaning fluid in the pond last time I was there!!"

Don't phone custies.

He should either give you a key, a code or if it's easy then let you ladder the gate.

This surely can't be the real reason for stoppin you cleaning his windows, it's a red herring!

[Geoff]

My most stupid reason was that they were having a stair-lift fitted.

He sounds like a messer and not worth keeping (a castaway).
Remove him from the round so that you never have to visit his plaice again!

Lol .. I have a similar case she wants to be in doesn't want to unlock gate as she has a swimming pool and says if she unbolted the gate from the rear a child could find out jump into her freezing water and drown therefore pls skip this time and come next time or come at 2.45pm... At the moment I'm gritting my teeth to be honest I am subbing this job out as I don't have time for her but regardless I would like all my work to be good not just my days little does she know once I start canvassing again will be the first to drop but before I do ill lay the law down as she might give in always good to give them a final option
