So whats the secret then, you don't get friendly with people? 

It would take me at least 1 hour just to collect off 28 OAPs.

knock them as you begin cleaning and talk to them while you clean,moving on to the next house as you do it


Hmm, not usually possible.  They just stand in their doorway usually talking.  You either stand there or rudely walk away while they are talking to you.

The main issue I have is when they give me the money, which they tend to do after I have finished cleaning.  End up just standing there getting lectured.

I have been at it for 15 years, I probably know them too well.  Without being rude, some people just seem unable to take a hint that your busy.  Even when I say, "thanks then, must get on", some often ignore me and talk over me as they are so into their own story!  Does my nut.

I charge £2.50 for a OAP bungalow.  I am soft with OAPs and always charge them less than anybody else.
