Friendly Window Cleaners Not Any More

[Dodger]

Not come across it, opposite to be honest and I always pass the time of day if I see another windie. Had a couple of pensioners flats nicked by one, he undercut me by a quid but not bothered cos I picked up 4 more of em same day at my price and I always say eyup mate if our paths cross. lifes too short.

Did think I was gonna get some agro 1 day on same flats, a windie came walking over to me, boab gave it away, and I thought oh heck here we go but he said old lady over there mate needs a windie can ya help her out so I said ain't that what you do bud lol, turned out he was commercial only (trad) and does all passageway windows.

Oh and he did give me a good tip through winter as well, use a wooden ladder and ya hands won't get as cold, hard he is didn't have gloves on lol.

my mate has a metal ladder and has duck tape all over it for his hands

That's probably the reason why some bright spark invented gloves as he must have run out of duck tape /emoticons/biggrin.png

I do to, nice to talk to other windys, but hates it when a windy walks upto me, cause I always assume they will be trouble!

I'm probably one of the few that have never had any agro from other cleaners. I always say hello and stop to have a chat if I can spare the time so got to know most of them by now. /emoticons/smile.png

Like I said before I do a lot of work that customers already have a regular cleaners but can be quite funny while I'm working when they show up. Some customers panic and assume we are going to try knocking 3 bells of **** out of each other /emoticons/biggrin.png

the problem is window cleaners are breeding like rats thats the problem.

Hmmmm pest control now that seems an good idea AK,...I bet they make good money and much if not all in inside work too

Think it might be slightly against the law to start culling window cleaners though /emoticons/biggrin.png

[Newbie123]

Don't think it's a massive problem as such it's the etiquette that's the grey area as differs from area to area the unwritten laws can differ from windy to windy that's when you get the clashes I think

 

[Smurf]

Hmmmm, could someone explain on here what are the unwritten laws & etiquette we are all supposed to follow?

The ice cream chap with the wheel brace got slapped hand in court and suspended sentence the other one who rammed th e other van is traumatised by the whole experience so the aggressive one won really that's where it goes wrong wonder how many parents still let their kids go for the ice creams now the damage is done to the round in the end

 

[Smurf]

Indeed....

However clearners on the other hand are employed by the customer so there is no such thing as my patch or any other unwritten laws for that matter. /emoticons/biggrin.png
