Yes so any work in Derbyshire you must pass on to me!!!

You didn't really think the boab which is short for bucket on a belt on here pal was free???

 
Yeah n u told me it came with 10 free customers a week... for a year /emoticons/wink.png
NO..... he told you you have to clean 10 of my custies for me for free for a year!! And you Derby boys keep your little turf war to yourselves, even think of crossing the Notts border and it'll be squeegees at dawn!!

Scrap that, squeegees around 9:30ish after cup of tea and bacon buttie, more civilized I think!

Ok it's all on you though and promise il stay out notts!!!

Do you have to wear bulletproof vests round there when cleaning windows

 
Seriously Stevie, I only ever had 1 numpty pull a Stanley blade out on me once in Notts.

In my youth, 19, I was stabbed six times in a bar in Glasgow, the same year they had been awarded 'City of Culture'

So when the numpty pulled his Stanley, I reached into the van for 'Betty' my much loved 3ft crow bar. Numpty boy thought twice and made a very hasty retreat, Betty got put away in the van having pacified the situation without the need for numpty bashing!

I have never seen a gun in Nottingham outside of the Air Rifles in the shop on the Radford Road.

 
On a serious note Stevie there have been a few give it 'I do all the windows round here'

Well there are 18'000 residential addresses in just my postcode NG4 alone and I cover NG1 NG2 NG3 NG4 NG5 NG8 and NG14

I simply respond to them with 'No, You Don't' and they suddenly seem to shrink and go away. (perhaps when they realize I am 6'4 and 17st up close they think twice.

I don't care if you want to work on 'my patch' but if you activity start targeting my customers then I might get a touch agitated.

There's windows a plenty to go round!

 
Ye mate bit size never hurt!

I'm actually 6.3 18 1/2 stone used to train over at a gym not far from you called Angels

There's loads of work out there for everyone specially with all the new houses flying up!!!

Whenever a new windie starts in my area they always look petrified when they see me but I'm like hey up!hows things?busy? Because I no there not getting any of my customers because there all happy!

Ova windies get mad at people going on here patch but I always say,who owns that house?

People who live there!!

Well then they decide who cleans there windows not us lol

 
Round here they like to try to frighten you you but it's all huff and puff, I aint got time for that I'm too busy cleaning windows.

One day i got my head phones in listening to a bit of The Thunder from Down Under whilst leafleting, this fella, a few houses back, comes out his house with my leaflet in hand and calls me back.

'Yes Sir?' I ask

'What the f**s this?' he asks

(My eyes want to roll to the back of my head but I force them to stay faced front)

'Like the card says sir, window cleaning' says I

'I clean all the f*c*ing windows round here' says he

'No, You don't' retorts I in a calm collected fashion.

He walks off without another word and gives his poor Wheelie Bin the kicking from hell!

I switch from ACDC to a bit of Alice Cooper and carry on! /emoticons/smile.png)

I decided the day I started (cause you hear all these stories of turf wars and sh*te) that I would not back down from any window cleaner as I reckon once you back down from one word gets around and then you got to back down from them all.

Not a chance that's happening!
