i have found people of afro caribbean descent to be the VERY BEST type of customers. the very worst in my opinion are  indian  closely followed by asian .  this isnt racist and i would be very suprised but interested to hear anybody with a huge indian round
Very true, Asians usually clean their own windows in my experiance if they clean them at all, and if they do get you to do their windows they do nothing but haggle and complain, i like the chinese they will always pay in cash.

Oh, and laddermonkee me old china - that bit about the weak windies packing in in the winter may be true but the East Europeans are used to Russian winters blowing in off the steppes - they love it and think our weather is fantastic in the winter. Remember Moem Gorod? His guys love the winter!

All the Polish round our way think we're a bunch of wimps for packing it in at minus 2 degrees.

I heard one of them say to a custy I handed over to him "Gin Dobry madam! You want regular clockwork window cleaner? I your man! I come in all weather! My Pole will reach top corner of your sliding sash; satisfaction guaranteed."
They don't clean windows during the winter because they are covered in ice, the poles have been bullsh****g you again Malc, dear oh dear you are such an innocent abroad arn't you ;Dthe only thing the poles are used to blowing in from Russia are their tanks, that's because the Russians don't like chancers. ;)

That's spot on that is!

When I was in insurance the general black people in the dodgy backstreets of Gloucester were very good payers and always friendly and welcoming.

The Indian and Pakistani families were awkward and tight. Hardly ever got new business with them.
And their houses reeked of curry. ;D
