Trouble is the majority of my customers only watch bbc news.

The only person I know with the virus seems to have got it from an overnight stay in hospital (non virus related).

Those whose partner works in one of the caring professions are at the most risk of getting coronavirus.

Ive got a feeling my phones going to be crazy tomorrow when the public realise this.

Mental.

How would you know what your customers watch?

Did you do a survey of their TV preferences?

[Bungle]

Tough call isn't it?

Can I do a 50/50

Remarkable.

He has just said it live on TV

For someone who spends his CIU life constantly telling others how well he's doing, how big & well priced his work is etc...... you're awfully desperate to get back to work!!
It seems to be all the "cyber millionaires" bricking it- not in fear of a deadly virus but rather losing a few weeks wages!!🤣🤣

I’ve got some good work wants cleaning that’s why

[richard connett]

I reckon I’ve changed my mind about working 20 times since last week. It was doing my head in , wasn’t sleeping etc and as a director paid dividends in not going to get any help
So took the decision to test the water today and so glad I did . My customers have all been  brilliant had one cancellation.  I’ve not been within 10 meters of anyone today . So my advice is while you can get out there and do what you can . You might be surprised at how level headed your customers are

[NWH]

I was pleasantly surprised I thought I’d go out and come back after a day and sack it until this all cleared up,I’ve been encouraged to work by customers.
Let’s get this right you’ve got to realise this is going to go on for ages if you don’t make a decision now to work you will have to in weeks to come,I know that once I’ve gone round the majority of my work say 6-8 weeks worth they will then know the situation and that I will be continuing to come during this or at least try to.
The longer you leave it the more chance you’ve got in you being poached or more stressed thinking you will be,if you are working rural or semi rural try and do that all the customers I’ve seen understand you need to crack on to a degree

[swanson]

I haven’t stopped working.
I just carried on as normal. All my customers are glad to see me.

[NWH]

Customers- people are so fickle it only takes the people you clean to see on the news you can carry on by choice,if you still ain’t turning up they will jump ship nothing surprises me with customers these days.
You think you know people then you don’t,the fact you think you are doing the right thing by staying at home makes no difference to the selfish general public that want clean windows,I’ve had texts from customers that are only just due are you still coming they really need doing with the weather we’ve had lol.
There’s a lot of people this virus hasn’t changed much they are in most of the day looking out of the windows anyway and hardly go out,won’t be long they’ll be saying I wonder where that window cleaner is 😂😂😂🤧

[NWH]

Rubber gloves 🧤 on chest out chin up and crack on,once you’ve got a few days back in you will feel better about it just be careful keep yourself to yourself and get earning,it’s like going back to school after the 6 week summer break always a little bit of anticipation after a few days it was like you never had the time off 👍 💪

[G Griffin]

Was it Chris Choi or Chris and Poy that told us we could go to work?
Show me show me, who said it?

Thats why its always good to never contact customers, just turn up quick/clean/leave slip/hope for money. If they see another cleaner they'll go over to him and ask him instead. Imagine living your business life/model like that ?

I think that will stick in peoples' minds when they are watching the news.
I can imagine some old dear watching the news, sobbing because she's just heard that window cleaners can work and her shiners have not turned up yet.

[Steven Biggs]

I thought this was a forum for window cleaners . I reckon there’s loads on here who are not going out and cleaning windows . Maybe they could join another forum . “ kept mans forum “ .

[Steven Biggs]

Joke .

[ants]

I went out today after sitting at home all week
First job was a block of flats,the second person that came  out said,"oh im glad to see you,our windows are terrible,we didn't know if you'd still be working"
I Felt better straight away,then my phone started ringing and texts with people asking if i was still working
I thought, thats odd!! ,until one of them told me about the news last night
Positive comments all day long ,people saying its good to see you ETC

whei i bonzai, we should write songs about you
He was reet all along man!!!

Get back to work lads

I can't tell you how helpful the social distancing is.

If we all keep it up, I think a feasible scenario is a return to some normality at the beginning of May.

As long as we keep to the rules now, we'll end up in a much better place after Easter than is feared.

[The Jester of Wibbly]

I do feel sorry for those window cleaners that have no choice but to self isolate for health reasons.   If you or family member have any symptoms, take 14 days off then get straight back to it.  Most customers won't even notice you've taken two weeks off.

I have no sympathy for anyone using it to skive off for the next 3 to 6 months without any personal health reasons. Give it another few weeks and you will start to loose customers.  I doubt we will ever go into a full lock down as it looks like the rules in place are working as expected. Too early to really tell, but my predictions have been close far.

Joke .

My missus said its ok for me to laugh, so you're good ......
