I started back this Monday gone and have only seen 1 other cleaner and he was a trad boy, not seen any other WFP vans which is rather unusual

The general public have been great to me including customers,I know a couple that have had customers say to them if you don’t come within a few days we will get someone else sad but true.
7-8 weeks is a long long time looking out of dirty windows when they see on the TV who’s working and people getting paid to sit at home,I can see the point tbh,I know some don’t agree but the customers are customers no excuse to not work now end of. My Mrs has asthma no not really only at bedtime 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🛌

Fortunately, I have been able to work right through. I cut my hours a down a bit by working long mornings and counting it as my exercise as well. Once home, between 1 -2pm that's it, I haven't gone out again even to do shopping. 
Had mixed reactions from my customers regards to us windies working through the lockdown. Most seem to have expected us to work due to the fact that our job seldom involves getting near anyone anyway. A few thought I had or would stop, till I turned up. Everyone was happy to see me however, some due to their filthy windows and others just happy to see someone to talk to.

The reaction I’ve had is why shouldn’t you be working for goodness sake we are working outside,I understand what’s going on if they’d had said this is so serious you can’t even go shopping I’d have stayed indoors.
A year down the line and you ain’t got a business do you honestly think the government will give a toss lol,you would just be a statistic when you are self employed you have to fight for everything we don’t get holiday sick pay etc good on you for trying to keep the business going m8.
Women and children first after me 🤣🤣🤣
