There a special way to deal with the older ones, It goes like this.
Her] "is this your new contraption then?
Me] Yes after all the years of using ladders, it's come to this.
Her] Why?
You] It's this ECC thing isn't it, they sit on their fat backsides in Brussels and dream up these new regulations restricting the use of ladders. and now my insurance company, who have been happily taking my premiums for 12 years have pulled the plug on me. They won't insure me anymore for window cleaning off a ladder.
The worlds gone health and safety mad. It's crazy,
I can buy a paragliding outfit out of the paper, and go and jump off some cliff. That's fine. But if I want to go up a ladder to clean a window, I need to fit stabilizer contraptions, and tie my ladder to some ring bolt or other. Can you imagine what my customers would say if I turned up with a big drill and wanted to screw eye bolts under every window?
We don't run our own country any more, We have to do what a bunch of foreigners tell us.
[By this time you have their total sympathy]
I'll tell you what though, this thing really works well. You get the frames cleaned too, not just the glass. I was a bit sceptical at first but I have to admit, it does a better job than when I was doing them the old way.
I know I have to leave the glass wet, but it dries off perfectly clear.
The only down side is that I have to use this Deionised water, and the deionising resin costs me £80 a bag. [ now I'm softening them up for the next price increase]
What can I do? I have to earn a living?
This spiel has worked really well for me, espeacially with the older customers. Try it. Dai
