The ones that say, "Are you the Window Cleaner that "does" down this street?"

I want to say "Yes, madam, I'm sorry that I'm not a James Bloody Bond lookalike, now take it or leave it!"

I did about 20-odd small houses today, and not one miserable sod offered me a drink.

In the end I had to ask someone.
I'll take my own tomorrow. ::)
