Bumper,  ???

I think you are well out of order. Your attitude stinks.  >:(

Granted, if the work was not done for 6 months he may have lost SOME but you say you carried on cleaning the round, meaning that there was more than 10% of the round left. For it to be worthwhile for you to continue it instead of walking away I reckon there were likely a lot of customers left.

The fact that he hasn't checked it tells me that he trusts you and I think you have just taken advantage of that.

Why haven't you gone out and canvassed your own work? - Because YOU can't be bothered.

Easier to just take underhandedly steal the round off someone else though ey.

it beats paying for it

The fact that you brag about it astounds me.  :o

People like you really wind me up.  >:(

PS reading through your other posts, I can see I'm right. It's people like you that give window cleaners a bad name.

Our business has to be built by the majority of canvassing. We sometimes pick up work by being seen at work aswell.  :D

Mark,

Don't get wound up and don't argue with fools.  I'm quite experienced in this department, so it's good advice.

Bad practise bumper >:( >:( >:( If you told one of my customers that I wouldnt be to happy.

You dont need to take work off other w/c's in such a sly dirty way, there is enough work out there for us all, and some.

And as for stealing work from your ex contractor :o :o bad form, YOU SHOULDNT BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU PAL!!!!!!!!! you seem very dishonest and sly to me, I certainly wouldnt trust you to clean my windows.  >:(

Yeah, you're right.

I took the bait didn't I!

I just get wound up with injustice. I rent out work so it touched a nerve.

  Another way of looking for customers is local community forums like this one in
  London, people are always looking for a window cleaner :-
