Was that from Justin a window cleaning company based in Barry?

I used to do our Woolworths; sub contract; for £10 and it was a pain to do.

I dropped it as soon as I had enough work.

OK - except I need to get the code ( to work the 'sinking' bollard)  to get access to the shop front. 100mtr of hose only reaches half the shop! :(

The other half I had to do with a pole and blade - although its the 1st time I've used the Wagtail on an extended pole. And I have to say its fast, and leaves a bloody good result ;D


Now, there clean and I know know the job, I will be a lot quicker next time. Although getting the dockets signed is a pain in the ass! :-\

i used to do a shop for a while, i used to do the outsides 2 houes before it opened, they would aks me to go back and have something signed when they were open, i did it a few times then just scrawled anything on it and sent it off, sometimes it would take longer to park and get to the store than it would to do the job

Dont get into a situation that woolies owes you  a lot of money
(more than you afford to loose) for several stores over several months cleans.
They had started to shut stores due to poor trading resuilts and now they have had a major knockback - about 20% of their working capital was invested in the failed Icelandic banks which could be a very serious problem to them.
Many of the major high street store are in the same situation, basically loosing all the money deposited in the overnight market in Iceland.
