Good to hear your still growing mate..

[manyee]

when I first met her etc ..............had quick conversation about uni degrees   cos she has one .........she said to me if every one got same degree .....some has to drive white van  ???lol

I've got a Chinese customer and she's spot on.  Only 8 weekly mind you...  But she's otherwise velly good.

Had another Chinese who I did a job for and didn't hear from again, and hadn't paid, then came back from Hong Kong and paid up ok.

The proper orientals aren't a problem, IMO, it's the ones who originate half way between here and China that you have to watch.

A lot of polish here but thankfully a lot of the polish/russian women are house proud and want a window cleaner.

Interesting mick ............but do the polish pay you top dollar ?

[roundbuilder]

Yes they pay on time and dont argue about my prices so must be happy with it.
Some of my best paying customers are polish.

My observation with other nationality. Pakistani I cannot get there handle as they never commit to anything. And try to screw me all the time.Indian good customers if they are born in the u K.They will treat you like poo if born in India as its normal to speak to a servant as they wish in the home country.Both will haggle. I tell them its bad manners to haggle on any service industry in the U K as it does not come in bulk, therefore no discount
African expect it for nothing and are not house proud. Polish I find good customers and pay well.They do take pride in there homes.   Chinese are good and pay promptly. All the other far east don`t clean windows and would normally clean there own window.Americans are very good customers and pay well.
Normally if the said nation has a lot of cheap labor in there home country they are not be inclined to want to pay to clean windows.

I find Martians pay quite well.  But they do look at me in a weird way, with those six eyes, fifteen ears and green skin.
