« on: February 12, 2009, 01:10:29 pm »
i had to drop a customer just before xmas as he owed me £40 and as he had no work there was no point cleaning his windows or chasing the debt

he drinks in the same pub as me so every now and then i would ask if hes been and has he found work as he owes me money

last nigt i fancied a pint after work so dropped in, there he was as large as life, came over and shook my hand. i asked if he was working,

he said no how about you.........................i said i was trying to build the round up as i had to drop a few bad payers last year as they couldnt pay me

buy this time the whole pub was watching and starting laugh

oh thats good he said.....................can you pick me up in the morning as i dont have a van anymore

ok i said where do you want to go

out with you

by this time the everyone was in hysterics and i was speechless

i didnt know what to say to the guy and i  just forgot the pint remembered  a prior engagement and went home

lol, i sometimes think us window cleaners are fair game for these muppets, they must fink we just sit about most of the day doing nuffin then go out just before the wife gets in from her work to avoid the naggin over the housework not being done, and once we have done two hours work its straight down the pub to spend the takings.

actually thats what i aspire to, maybe this time next year eh? ::)

With spelling like that I'd say he's probably not far off the mark   ;)

me 2, i can actually spell quite well, got an A in english and all that and its paid off quite well thus far, and being in this business doing quotes/tenders method statements etc it does help to know how to spell and where to put commas etc, which you would do in any formal document of course, however as this is a laidback window cleaning forum and most of u geezers are the same i tend to use forum language.

as long as the point is clear and concise you do not really need to worry about grammar or sentence structure, or do u? ::)

Went out for a drink with another window cleaner one night, he sees a similar kind of bloke i.e. always got no cash but in the pub, asks him for some cash & gets fobbed off. So he goes to the bar as the git gets served takes his 2 pints of lager and tells him to take it off the bill. Its the only way to deal with these people.

nice one nwh...................why do i never think to say something like that

snowed off so met up with the other wcs down the pub

got a round of applause................theyve all heard about it

and some apoligies for laughing .................they couldnt help themselves

landlord took me to one side and thanked me for not "escalating" things

and bought me a pint to make up for the one i "sacrificed" last night


apparently this guy went round the pub last night trying to ponce a pint on the back of the money he was going to earn today, he was asked to leave and only come back when he could pay for his own beer

so alls well that ends well :)
