Working in the dark?
« on: September 05, 2008, 09:13:26 am »
Why not? You've got guys that insist they have to work in the pouring rain to get rich and the customers love it, so why not work through untill six in the winter or start at seven thirty in the morning? Can't see the dirt? well you can't see it in a downpour either.   ???

In that case why not start at 6 in the morning, I mean its only customers privacy.

I made the point - you can't possibly see whats going on in steady rain, it has to be mostly guesswork so why not in poor light as well?

I worked last year a couple of times when dark to see the result it would give an to be honest its the same, you know where the window is so cleaning it comes as second nature.

What someone needs to develop is an umbrella hat with a spot light on and also a pole umbrella then you would have nothing to moan about  ;D

We always work from 6.00 until 6.00 in the winter, what are you running a hobby or a business ?

Why not put a small LED lite on your pole up near the brush, they are not heavey and don't use much in the way of battery power.I have thought about this a few times .Can just see poeples faces though in bed in the morning and this light going up and down there window!!!

In Harrow shopping centre the window cleaners have to have their vans off by 7am summer or winter so they start doing all the shop windows about 5am.

I'm trying a new method next week. I'm gonna pump myself full of anabolic steroids, eat 10000 kcal of protien per day & go out & work 24 hours a day for the rest of my working life! Hey, who needs sleep?
I'll be the highest earner, have the biggest of egos, have absolute respect from discount & be built like a brick poop-house at the end of it all. Can't lose 8)

Look at my house, look at my car, hey, look at me!!!!
