I have to say life is more about not working in the rain from where I see it these days.

I don’t work in the rain either, drizzle/light rain yes, heavy rain no. I only work 4 shortish days per week so plenty time to get caught up. As NWH mentioned, I don’t lose out, if they are late in getting cleaned on one 4 weekly cycle, I just clean them a little earlier on the next 4 weekly cycle. 4 weekly customers always get at least 12 cleans per year, some get 13 as I also use this strategy for holidays.
Obviously if you are stacked with work this won’t be an option but as soon as I’m over a 4 day week I sell off some work.

No they won’t Daz if the day is going to shower on and off then of course I’ll sit it out and work between the rain,I never turn up in the rain and start work the only time I’ll ever do this is obviously if it’s insides or a big conny-greenhouse wash down.

I honestly can't be arsed keep sitting in the van every half hour or so on a showery day.i will sit out a really heavy shower for 5 mins or so but that's it.

Otherwise I just crack on.

The only days I don't bother is like last Tuesday when it's biblical rain for hours and hours! ;D
