Raining here and it's pretty bad.

One "waterproof" coat has been soaked through.

Last two customers I asked AFTER I had cleaned Windows whether they minded me cleaning in the rain

One said is it raining? The other said our last cleaner used to sit in the car waiting for it to stop. We felt like he was stalking us. So we cancelled him.

Its been raining all morning here. The other van had one customer object to them being cleaned in the rain who wasn't persuaded by the guarantee so skipped. A £25 job. But, we are two days behind as van 2 off all last week. We have today between the two vans £800 booked in. Already two days behind, we'd have lost £800 today and be three days behind. Even if we had lost that one customer, so what? She's only worth £150 a YEAR! Steve Jobs my a%%e.

Better ask Daz what jacket he wears.

Yesterday I told all customers that if the windows were not up to standard due to the wind and rain  to ring me today and I would come and clean them again as I was in the same area anyway....

No calls so far...

I am not convinced waterproofs can withhold the rain all day though? Maybe they can. They costs £90 a jacket I would have thought they would have lasted a few hours. Lasted 2 before soaked through. Maybe try do cleaner to re protect them.

Window cleaning customers are stupid Iv nothing to worry about.

The thing is ........... if you have your van on tick and pay out £500 a month and employ then you don't really have any option (I've just been looking at the cvm ad for lease payments  sod that!)

If you're like Dazmond and are sick in the head then that's understandable too. However if like Dazmond you don't have a full round and take ten days off every month then I really can't see the point in working through atrocious conditions when by simply juggling your leisure time about you can avoid it.

Gold is right - it's mostly in our heads. I worked today in pouring rain - had a few moaners but generally I got away with it I felt.

I finished about 2 as well.  It was raining and I could have done a bit more, but I had had enough by then.
