Good to see you today mate, I couldn't do the backs of the house I was on as they've padlocked the gate and put that spikey strip across the top!

Turns out the neighbours shed was burgled so they have made precautions,

Hope you got a good day in!

Sounds good, you never thought about working on your own? It just one lad helping?

i had 2 years on my own, then 1 partimer help ,then 2 parttimers then 3, then 1 went fulltime , then all 3 . course this all took years . i wouldnt go back to working solo, no way i like the banter and of course the moneys better

likely will end up employing another 2 footsoldiers in a couple of years time!.

might need a minibus to carry em !

 
years ago, id only been goin a few months as a windie when i got friends with a guy on the cleanitup forum.

his forum name was Escortdiesel and he lives up in the north east ,

Anyhow after a few months of online banter he came down to my area on holiday with his family .

we met up for a chinwag one morning when i was on my way into town to work. we chatted about allsorts then he asked me who were the biggest firm in my area. i told him and then he shocked me cos he wanted to go and slash their tyres and more. !

wanted to go now ,yeh cmon mate lets do it ..."im on holiday " , he was loving the idea

i was shocked! and made my excuses and left

 
What an imbecile he turned out to be then boar? I really don't understand people like that...

 
Don't go slashing my tyres boarcity

.i know where you live lol

Well sort of ..just look for the house with the van outside:D

 
it was very lucky he didnt know where i lived exactly. he was obviously at a loose end and desperate for action long as it wasnt on his home turf

bombarded me with joke texts for days afterwards too

 
What a div...

Everyone's trying to earn a crust, can't stand jealousy amongst windies!

youd know him if ever you met him, he had a couple of fingers missing from one hand

 
thats reminded me,jake dyou know the guy who does a lot of little shops in colch town centre. he now drives a white combo but before had a white connect . works alone trad .

what im intrested to know is how he got his face disfigured like it is. praps you know? id not ever dare to ask- altho i know him and he knows me ,he might "get funny" if asked

 
I don't go on clean it up anymore - hated it to be honest, full of idiots...

Yeah I only know him to say hello to, I've no idea why his face is like that, although part of me thinks he was just born like that...

He's been at it for years, and only charges about 2-4 quid per shop, he sometimes works till 10pm in the town Center! Nice bloke, just kind of plods along all day long...
