Would anyone do a free clean, or a few windows at a time, for those hit hardest because of the virus. I think I will, if I can work.


We did today.
Turned up at a house and the chap has literally lost his job yesterday. (Worked for a flooring company, work has just died)
He had his money out but I insisted we let it slide this month.

Also gave him the number of a friend of ours that works for a recruitment agency, hopefully he can get something sorted to tide him over until he can get himself back on track.
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?

I remember my Dad and his contemporaries cleaning the windows of striking miners for free in the '80's.
It's a good way of building customer loyalty. Obviously it'd only apply to good, genuine customers.

I've never done it in the past, I've always said that I wouldn't clean windows for free if you paid me.

However even I have offered the odd credit to customers who've phoned up to cancel after being laid off.

One guy was a newly qualified pilot, just spent thousands on training and boom. Hopefully when this is over he'll see me right  :D

Nice one, Souples.
It can be good for business even if it doesn't feel like it at the time.

It's plane to see you did the right thing.
It's a game of three halves!

Slimming World has  shut down for the foreseeable. The worlds gone mad...
They'll be booming after 12 weeks sat in the house.
