True story.
Tuesday morning, cracking on with my first clean when I'm approached by a sweet, grey haired, elder lady. "When you clean the flat upstairs, the water drips down and marks my windows".
I explain that will always happen, I'll clean her windows when I'm finished but I really need to have a chat with her window cleaner to arrange either I have her as a customer or he takes my upstairs customer. "Oh no" she says, "Rob has cleaned my windows for years, I wouldn't dream of changing, he's like a member of the family". "No problem" I tell her, "I'm snowed under, he can have my customer".
I notice she's watching me as I clean her windows, digging out the little bits of moss growing in the corners that Saint Rob, the son she never had, has obviously been cultivating for years. She walks out to the front of her flat to witness her grey frames miraculously turning white in front of her very eyes. She then utters, "you're my window cleaner now, I'll tell Rob he's finished". ?
Sorry Rob, a better gun just rode into town.
