Well I've had quite an interesting day today chatting.
1. On the way to an all day job I passed a falch pressure washer van in a petrol station forecourt with the chaps just setting up. So being inquisitive I wanted to find out if they were local as you do. Turns out they are from another town and most of their work is commercial stuff and with that setup I can see why.
2. Whilst working a bin cleaner pickup pulled up at the house I was working on so as you do I had a little chat with the guy. Told me he had been doing it 7 years and was easy money. When I asked how much the lic was he told me he pays £150 a year for the privilege to empty the waste water down one designated drain. That was his own at home...
3 Chap pulled up down at the side street by the house and asked me what system I was using. Turns out he had an ionics thermapure systems but retired 5 years ago. Said he packed it in as was no money in window cleaning doing commercial jobs mainly and for him just to get by needed at least 500 regular domestic customers too.
4. I had a chat with the a chap across the road working in his garden as he came over as wanted a quote
5. Got stopped working by the lady next door so had a chat as she wanted a quote.
6. Customer was very chatty too
I must have spent more time chatting than doing any actual work today but still managed to finish the job before it got dark. /emoticons/biggrin.png
