His customers are obviously happy if done them more than once on a sunday...

Firemen have 6 days a week off , dont they... only time they cant clean is when they are day shift , unless ofcourse you use all youre PHs on day shifts to do the windows, but that would be nuts only getting 8 hours for your PH instead of a 16 hour night shift .

I love comments from people that appear to sneer at those who do things differently.

When I first started I never had any problems with the actual window cleaning but to successfully sustain and manage the round was hard work. A few weeks of bad weather would decimate my rythym and I would have to work Saturday or Sundays to get back up to date.

I didn't mind it really as I was younger - I wouldn't do it now even if I was behind (which to be fair is very rare even in bad weather times)

Good luck to those that do.

You cant knock a bloke trying to earn a living ....

Before I was ill I would work 24/7 given the chance but now it's a different story
when I get my round up and running I will only canvass at weekends lol
and clean in the week .

I worked last Sunday afternoon on a school. I would do the same on domestics if circumstances required me to. Fair play to him I say.

Nothing the matter with working on a Sunday, it's common practice now in many professions.  

When we have worked a Saturday or Sunday in the past we've always picked up a load of new work as most people are at home.

Sunday is usually the one day people get to have off/relax, i wouldnt want you round at 10 in the morning, nor would the customers!

Theres more than enough hours in the week to earn a wage...a very good wage at that.

Well i dont agree with it, its open forum after all, im allowed to have my opionion which on this occasion happens to be the right opinion.
