id rather just dump the house and replace with an easier job

You say that, although in practice you didn't do that . You where trying to kid the customer by spraying a window, got caught and then cancelled  ;D

I'm sure a simple " I cant reach that window" would have worked wonders

Pretending to clean it was a bit of an odd thing to do...

I have a few awkward but do able windows on my round just like everyone else.
I don't do any where I would be pulling my body apart or snapping a valuable pole just to get one window.
I find it better to explain to the customer why it wouldn't be practical to try and clean said window and take it from there.

Anyway back to cancellations I've had one cancel this month one move and I've cancelled three for late payments or no payment. Another has gone into sheltered accommodation.
New enquiries are definitely down and late payments are slightly up.

Please don't take out your loose panic button on me Soupy. That's the third time you have imputed a bad motive to my posts.

I try and offer a view that isn't full of negativity like yours seems to be. Maybe offer some guidance and/or advice to ameliorate the situation yourself?

I'm not panicking, much like you - I'll be alright, Jack.

I'm not however going to come on here and impute that the hardships that are on the looming horizon are the fault of those stupid enough not to have customers who are somehow immune to spiralling energy costs.

You do realise that not every address in the country will be paying £3549 a year for energy …. This is your average user , much like the average house price in the uk is  £281,161 , it doesn’t mean every house is valued at £281,161 .
The average family holiday to Spain cost apparently around £2k per trip , does this simply mean that families will lose out on a holiday a year and it’s not actually the end of the world….. just an alternative way of looking at the situation.

Don't know why they keep framing it with "average household price". I'm pretty sure most people understand how their electric bill works?

If you look at everything through Eeyore shaped spectacles then you will impute negativity in my posts. Nowhere have I mentioned others being stupid.

Is it not all coming from your own warped view? And not a word of practical suggestion as to what to do comes from you either. You seem incredibly quick to jump to complain - with little fortitude or patience.

You spend a lot of time on here. Have a look through your last couple of dozen posts. Ask yourself, how many are helpful to your fellow cleaners and how many of them are hot air and memes in the yip yap section criticising and moaning with not an iota of help whatsoever?
It's a game of three halves!

Exactly, it’s scare mongering .  Dazmond won’t be paying £3549. We know everyone is on the same tariff but we won’t all have the same bill.

Yeah, I looked.

You're full of it.

Have a look through yours. How many are iotas worth of help and how many are condescending bull crap?

Prices have risen 189% in 12 months, that's not scare mongering. It's profiteering by the energy producers.

When fuel was £2 a litre we didn’t all do the same mileage. All had to buy it at the same price though.

Come up with some helpful suggestions instead of constantly criticizing.

I don't care what your negative view of me is but I do care about countering your persistent clamour to complain on here.

If the government hasn't brought in a better package for the needy by Mid September then shout from the rooftops and march on London.

Generally people having their windows cleaned aren't from the poorest in society; that will be reflected in the rounds of most shiners on here. My message on the forum is is stop worrying too much and my message to you is stop panicking and lashing out.

It's a game of three halves!

Maybe we drove more carefully and planned our journeys more. That knocked 15% off my mileage.

And now prices are available in the £1.70's  for diesel.

Keep steady chaps.

The energy companies make as a percentage of your total bill as profit is 2%.  You'll be wanting them to pay you soon won't you, you feeble eyed whining old wind bag.
