I don't see why more of you lot dont work on Bank Holidays and why it's such a taboo with you guys. I take holidays when i want to take holidays. Not because im told i have to because every other poor sod is going to take it off aswell and that we "shouldn't" be out working on such a day.
Nonsense. All customers were notified day before. 2 Customers asked to be done on a different day on this occasion. No problem. Did just short of £500 on Monday on domestics. Also picked up 3 new customers in areas where usually i don't see anyone about but everyone and their nan was at home so signed up some easy walk ups. Nobody complained, even got offered drinks off customers who usually dont make the effort with us.
Benefit of working on Bank Holiday Monday? Well i'm taking this friday off now because all our work will be done for the month. Oh then im off for 9 days straight, as we have worked like stink in August 
I think working bank holidays or weekends Or even school holidays for that matter is just not a great experience for the window cleaner or the customer.
As I experienced, people are generally in bed first thing, which makes you feel awkward and the customer probably do not appreciate being woke up.
Then you have the issue of lots of people being in which means lots of cars in the way and I didn't know about you but I prefer people being out.
Then there's the kids either in the gardens or just as bad following you round the windows and pulling faces etc inside, questioning you and generally getting in the way.
Walking into a back garden full of people or kids, swimming pools etc, can't move for stuff and feeling peoples eyes burning into you.
I like to people to be out, it's faster and less stressful, it I never saw or spoke to a customer I would be in heaven.
