Spoke to new custy. She said she wants the old fashioned way. Taken on some ladder work recently to help get through winter so said I will ladder and squeegee. She say no way I don't want all that soapy water on my windows my last wc done it properly with a shammy and cloth!!!

What's worse she had spanking new UPVC!!! Believe it or not I feel it's a bit of a personal challenge, should I get a leather and give it a go or is that just ridiculous?

if you want to be on the house forever, you know that customers a complete plank so why would you take her on, also im not being funny, but the reason you are wfp is for saftey, so if its too cold and icy for wfp what makes you think it would be fine to use a ladder

[H20cleaning]

Explain to her there is reasons why technolagy changes!!! 

[windymiller]

You don't need to get a leather,  just use a damp scrim and a perfectly dry scrim just like you do with leaded windows.

tosh is right , let her try and find some plank to do it her way 

[tlwcs]

Is she also offering to pay 3"n"6?
Some people eh?

[dazmond]

i simply wouldnt take her on!why dont you say" look i have a wfp system let me show you how good it is"."let me clean your windows with it and when their dry if you not happy with the finish dont pay me!"

ive used this line on a few customers who were sceptical about wfp or previously had a window cleaner who did a bad job with it.they are all now good solid regular customers.

dont let the customer dictate what method to use.the proof is in the pudding.

Who said I'm wfp for safety's sake?

Ah so...but sensei tosh, you assume my current mental state is one of sanity...you above all should know that to assume makes an ass of you and me!

[Positivity]

Got far too much time on your hands if you can waste time on this - if it is a wind up!!!!
If this for real you really are mental!!!

[Tom White]

You just assumed that I assumed you were sane!  I didn't; no-one is sane; Carl Jung said 'show me a sane man and I'll cure him' which infers we're all mental to some degree.

But if you took her on, you're mental (more than just a degree).  And if this is a wind-up, you ought to leave the humour to those who're capable of being funny and stop drinking the bong water.

When the fella comes around to replaster her house do you think she goes " I want it done the old fashioned way with wattle and daub (cow sh#t and straw) ... prob not .... nor does she still use a mangle and washboard .... nor does her old man take a tin bath in front of the coal fire once a month whilst watching one of their 3 channels on a black an white TV.


.................. if yes to any of the above she will try and pay you in old money possibly  

[windymiller]

Give them a free clean then ask them whats wrong with the way you have cleaned them.

[windowswashed]

Use to cloth dreaded leaded's 1st thing on a cold winter's morning to get nice and warm when trad ! Definitely no scrimming anymore, rather use warmish water and gloves on

[Don Kee]

I'd do them exactly how she wants them doing to be fair, the customer is always right!!
She pays you, so you work for her, if she wanted you to useca toothbrush you should!









I'd also get paid two bob and a conker, and when i'd finished, i'd make sure i took my bottle of white lightening out the basket of my bicycle to tickle my taste buds while i ride to catch the early bird special down the local...
