there sound lads, the wife did she stuck a note on the front door saying services no longer required because were moving which we were but i put moving off for a few months whilst dog had pups and we decorated the other house so i got chatting to him again and one thing led to another and he is doing them again

I'm surprised that a window cleaner's wife would communicate by sticking a note on the front door.  Sod's law always dictates that when someone does that, the front door is the last window you do   :)

 It always takes me agea to do my own windows. Probably every 6 months!! If I got someone else to do mine I'd get a friend to do it. One of my friends does a few down my road.

he charges next door but one £3.00, it is cheap but i think it generally reflects what WC charge where i live based on the people i know who have window cleaners...

my wifes mum pays £2.70 (wfp)

Your in manchester arent you kris, because thats where i am, but my prices are more than that!
nah mate i'm from manchester and have the majority of my work there but i live in west yorkshire... (out in the sticks the quite life)

Yeah the one thats purple- barearts! My mate builds breweries so he built the brewery he has about a mile up the road from morrisons, no not from near toddy, but i like it up there, would love to move that way but mrs's is from the countryside (norfolk) and likes being in the city :( I seen a cleaner out that way about 3 week ago on a drive out to howarth, they were on the main road there in oxenhope with wooden ladders, not you??

yeah the shop is opposite morrisons and the brewery is just on the corner of bacup road, its good, you should go in and get a barrell or two if you havent already tried it...the only problem when i go in is he knows my mate so we get given loads of samples and ending up having to drive home a bit tipsy, so i try not to go with him anymore!
