the suns out! - out comes the cowboys!
« on: March 15, 2010, 04:54:13 pm »
always cracks me up to see 3 or 4 so called wcs out working every day now the suns out!

drive past in your sign written van with all your kit and get the usual stroppy look back as i beep the horn and wave.

why does everyone think they are a wc when the suns out?

be glad when/if wfp was the only legal method - would wipe out most of the cowboys on push bikes with an old tea towel they prob took from mummys

Nothing wrong with beer towels, they make great sill cloths we have been using them for 20 years and we are no cowboy outfit

I am going to look a bit like this to start with, in my car with ladders on top. :'(

I have top quality gear though, & proper cloths. :)

I would use WFP, but can`t purify the water myself at the moment, so that is out of the question.

Perhaps he was a chef.

Was he up a ladder? Or did you spot him in a kitchen?

They may have looked like "old pub beer towles", but how do you not know that on closer inspection, that they may have been professionally embroidered towels with their company logo. ;D

Beer  towels are also excellent for guttering and Upvc work.

if he gets the windows clean it doesnt matter what he uses, my defination of a cowboy is someone who doesnt make a good job or deliberately misses windows i think there are a few window cleaning snobs on here
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

Hi,

No problem with working from car, the majority of window cleaners do. When you see them sign written they stand out a mile compared to a sign written van. I saw one today at Claygate, Surrey. It looked the biss.

Instead of beer towels I use cut-up bath towels from charity shops, there great for sills & spills.

They maybe great sill cloths but its the image that they project that is the problem.
The pen is mightier than the sword (and a lot easier to write with!)
