As window cleaners are not classed as being human I think you might be allowed
to shoot him.
Not 100% sure on this one so best check it out with your local police before doing it
as you might need a special licence. ;D

The way some on here see their customers, you might as well shoot them instead as it's them that cause these problems.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

this is now war.
tit for tat
i do the same one him
2 things i do on him
i used work for him a few years back. so i know.  before i went on myself

number 1 he's about 80 years old.
has about 2 or 3 people working for him and pays em about £2.00 an hour
keeps all the xmas tips, etc. he earns abot £3000 a week
said to me once. come work for me bank holiday monday and i pay you extra wages.
he gave me £1.00 bonus in my wages. he's a slimeball.
pays no tax and is supposed to be retired.
wants reporting, and i will do, thought he was good stealing houses.
now lets see how good he is. i show him how good i am.

number 2
i know he does about 20 - 30 shops in the village near me, all in a row.
and hes been doing them about 20 - 30 years, and charges about £10 for 1 window.
going post a flyer thru all off em, give them an offer they cant refuse.
1st three cleans free.
4th clean half price.
5th clean £1.00 off

tit for tat.


To me this comes under the heading of 'biting off your nose to spite your face' ;D

Resentment = drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

thing is if he is very long established itll be hard to hurt him in the wallet  . better to  poach his workers if you can afford to do it

Why poach his workers?

if they are half decent at the job he will struggle to replace them and might go under in the process



Good business plan ;)

If he really is 80 then he'll be too old soon to work so just canvass all of his customers on the day of his funeral.

A mong on here undercut me on a few.
He's welcome to them.
There's nothing you can do really.
And he can't 'steal' your customers, they're free to use whoever they want.
It's up to you to provide a service that is worth more if you want to keep them.

What a shiddy bum you are, got the swollocks to call whoever stole your work a mong over the keyboard, but wont name and shame them....keyboard warrior

Lol. I am far from a keyboard warrior. I'm more fororthright in person.
I have a small gripe with the person for undercutting me.
Is it a big enough issue to put out there in the public domain? No.
Someone local to me has asked who it is-I'll let him know as he's asked and he's a friend. Not on here, by text.


I just think if ur guna call him a mong  ur obviously pi$$ed with the guy so why not have it out with him....unless your chicken poop

I won't have it out with him.
I don't care that he took the jobs, I stated 'he's welcome to them'
He is.
I'm in quite a good position workwise. Il in the process if culling now. And genuinely don't care. I just feel it's....unsporting.

But I am impressed with your keyboard warrioring.
Why not come back when you're not using a scaffold pole, have more than 17 customers and a pair of testicles to go with your BS attitude. Tw@

Harder to replace quickly. With a big round you get behind very fast.

Bill, come on mate, it's just a forum and also just words on a screen. Lighten up and take what's written here equally lightly when it comes to provocation.

Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

tell us how you get on when you approach his workers .   this could be your time to cream up if you play it right . itll cost you to start with but chances are you cud pull the rug out from under the competitor , even better if one of them can get you the job list

I haven't read all the posts but I'd say there is an issue with the customers here if they've took him on, at the end of the day he can't steal customers, your customer made a conscious decision to ditch you and take someone on they don't know or don't know if they can trust, it either says a lot about you, or a lot about the customer, focusing on the "stealer" is not the issue.

If we all focus on outstanding customer service and quality of work that is priced well for both the customer and cleaner then everyone should remain happy don't you think chaps?
