This has to be the best ever. I got a phone call 5 weeks ago from a woman I kind of know. She said that her window cleaner was no longer cleaning the outside of her house, but was just cleaning the inside. I go along to quote it. I managed to get the price of the other cleaner. It was £50. Now this house is no way worth £50 and I said I'd do it for £35. She was chuffed and I was happy too. We arrange a date to clean and I wfp them. The other fella was clothing them. I reached windows he had never cleaned. We agreed a 4 weekly clean. I said that the next clean would be in 5 weeks as I was having a week off. I also asked her for the other windys number, thinking he may be retiring I could give him a bell and maybe pick up some more work. On the night of the clean I rang him. I explained that she rang me saying that he wasn't cleaning the outside any more. I asked if he was retiring. He said no, he just wasn't cleaning the outside, but just doing inside. Weird? He goes on to say that she is a nutter and a messer. Hmm me thinks, I'll just roll with it. He said that I had his blessing to do the work.
Anyway, I rang her today to book her in. No answer. My phone rings this afternoon. Who is this she asks, It's me Tuffers, is that Mrs so&so I ask. Yes what do you want she asks. I was just calling to book you in for a clean I say. Oh she says, they were cleaned yesterday. Oh, I say, I thought I was your window cleaner now. Well I haven't heard from you in ages she says. I say, well I did say it would be 5 weeks. Who cleaned them I ask. I don't know, there was a man in my garden when I got home yesterday and he was cleaning the windows. Do you know who it was I ask. I haven't got a clue who he was and my property was all locked up she says. Did you pay him I ask. Yes I paid him £50. I say, so you pay someone who you've never met before who is in your garden cleaning your windows £50. This is the funny bit, she says, but he did a very good job with no smears.
That was it for me, I said keep your new window cleaner I'm no longer interested and put the phone down on her.
A simple deduction tells me the old windy or a mate of his cleaned them and the woman is stark raving bonkers!
