Any loosing to brexit? Residential
« on: May 15, 2019, 12:12:02 pm »
Just been doing a wall render clean and patio clean for my polish customer who's putting their house on the market and moving back to Poland. This is mostly due to Brexit, which is a shame as they are a great family and customer. In fact, some of my best/friendliest customers are Polish, but these are the first ones I've found moving back so far.
Anyone else loosing customers due to brexit?  (not commercial work tho)

There'll be an SLXodus, I tell thee.
It's not affected me but I believe that Stirlingshire has been hit the hardest.
But as you say, Nate, it's a shame when you hear how the uncertainty has affected some.

No, me neither. 
I think Poland has better opportunities now so some will go back.

It's losing not loosing. Losing means to lose something (like you lose a customer) unintentionally.

Loosing means you intentionally let something go.
It's a game of three halves!

Actually last September I lost someone in a different business context. They went back to Bulgaria after 6 years.

Only difference I've noticed in the saffff east is houses selling slower. Oh! And I've got two new Hungarian neighbours.

Because they’re being vilified by the proletariat. I blame Farage innit.

I nearly lost one simply because I told the customer I voted for Brexit which meant she's got a racist, alt right, Nazi-gammon window cleaner who she doesn't really like now (she's of Italian heritage).

She's putting up with me - I suspect - because she believes all the other window cleaners are Brexit voting racists too.

Doesn't really like now?
Why did you tell her? Forget that- I know that answer- why do you think you told her?

I told her because we were discussing Brexit.  She's a customer, but I've known her for years because she's in the local running club too.

Privately educated, married to a bloke who is a top rate tax payer (I know because he told me); she's just one of those self-entitled types.

They sound like a pair of modded.
Did she tell you that she didn't like you?
I bet it was a relief, if she did.

If she's in the local running club how come you haven't posted up surreptitiously taken pics of her arse yet?

You normally do.
