Had it a few times mate, met one of the idiots last year. They fold up and crawl away most times but you may get the persistant mongs who start calling you up at 2 in the morning and sending silly e-mails. Never lasts though.  ::)

just make themselves look silly imo talking about patches,last time i checked we lived in a free country.
i spend hundreds on advertising, these people can't even be arsed to look after there business professionally.

how is it your patch stan? do you mean that they are areas that you work.
do you own the streets where you work? do you exclusively own the rights to these areas? you guys who think like that are not right.

you guys are on a different planet we have always worked this way,we buy compact rounds and keep them that way,if we get asked to clean else where we pass ity on to the cleaner in that area,we didnt pick the work up by knocking we paid good money for it

That's up to you Stan, but if I lived near your patch I would leaflet it as much as I liked and you would be welcome to take it up with me in person. I have had loads of hassle over the years, always over the phone though. None of the mouths have ever had the balls to come see me personally.

just because you bought customers dont mean you own them.
