I was driving past one of the local independant garages today, this one sells astons, farraris, and the like. Nice little gem of a showroom. But I noticed the windows were all covered in cobwebs, definitely no regular cleaner there. Somtimes you have to do something a little different to stand out...

...so I dropped this;



 
See you didn't mince your words again buddy lol
I thought it would separate me from the crowd, you know- the nice and polite folk.

I confess though that I screwed that up and did it neater with a black sharpie marker.
 
If they have a sense of humour, you're in. If not, well sod em I guess! It's friendly cheekiness is all /emoticons/biggrin.png

 
As long as you don't do a paw job!

And take care your tools don't go WALKIES :laugh:

 
Is that a dogs trust Tuffers?
A new dogs home for the city. Cost something like 5 million and out in the sticks. Some subby rang me this afternoon asking for a final clean on a few windows that have to be done tomorrow. F00k that, I ain't dropping everything for a one off. Then I thought hmm I might email them direct and see if they want a regular cleaner.

That was my thinking too. The human element missing from mass marketing campaigns. The thing was that this is a very high end garage, and yet the windows were filthy- a huge patch of fingerprints right where people push the door open, cobwebs everywhere etc. He would be an idiot to read that, look upat his windows, and then not call me.

Two bad scenarios playing out in my head right now though.

1) In the night some little chav decides to put a brick through the window....and my note leads them straight to me.

2) There was a post box on the wall,but I decided to bypass that as I didnt want it getting mixed up with the restof the mail. Instead, I slipped it in between the gap of the swing open doors. I'm thinking that theres a possibility I could have triggered off the motion sensors and set the alarm off 30 secs after I went.:doh:
