She sounds like a crank.

i always get permission to jump gates when first arrange with new crusty. especially after my dad got arrested 4it during his window cleaning years.

>Tacky - more importantly - did she pay you?

How you where going to do them when she wasn't in never came up in the conversation when you took her on?

Blimey, I'm always climbing gates.. never been beaten by one yet, even 8footers!! Never lost a customer for doing it either!!

It wasn't the climbing of the gate that saw your dad arreated, it was the entering of the downstairs window that did it

Wait until she finds that she can't get another w/c. Will you take her back?

I once had a custy who scolded me for climbing over her 4 foot rear gate. She was worried about her pet rabbit escaping!

I asked her if the rabbit was missing. It wasn't, but nevertheless I wasn't to do it again. I went one further I didn't go back.

Nowadays, I always ask what I should do if the custys are out. In most cases, they are fine with me climbing over. Any that aren't just get the fronts done.

I do a lot of houses with electric gates and always let custy know when I'm round for access reasons,  some have given me the lock code and some have shown me where there are outside switches.

electric or not I never ever climb over.



just a quick question

if after you told the lady you climbed over and then she said well my gate is damaged now

what would you response be ?   cos that custy sounds like the type who would try something like that on

Where had she been Margate?.......Ramsgate?.......

[bobby p]

i climb if i cant unlock.    one bloke reckoned i had bent his cheap quality wrought iron gates by hurdling , but i know i never touched them as my ladder was against his wall.

so i dropped him even though he had always  paid ok  .
  id risked my neck on his imprinted concrete driveaway with my ladders many times. fate decided i must let him go  and i believe in fate

[G Griffin]

Fate or gate?

[tacky]

yes she did pay

her husband said when they went on holiday they locked the gate . i said no problem we can still clean them .he said how with the gate locked .i thought he was joking .i said i ll step over gate .( i mean this gate is low enough to step over ) no more said untill cancellation .best part is her sister said she could nt get a win cleaner .could we do them .so we went out our way to do them .as usual s..t your thanks

[john the cleaner]
