A customer told me once about a window cleaner that was across the road leaning over a roof, fell through and died  :-\

One of my customers was killed in a car accident last week, she was only doing 30mph. That's the best reason for us all to pack up & sell our vehicles?

A local window cleaner died suddenly, they were out canvassing before the poor bugger was buried.
Call me old fashioned, but I think it's only decent to give his misses a chance to sell the round and make a few bob.

if that happened around here the canvasses would be put in there place and the local lads would take care of selling the round for her

It might sound harsh Stan but some people don`t think like that i`m afraid sad though it is,if you knocked on there doors and told them the story some of them would still want to get there own window cleaner.Certain situations really show you the real person and in some instances it`s not nice,i`ll bet some would say that`s sad but i still want my windows cleaning i`ve got a party next week.

All i`m saying and i pretty much know for a fact because i know what there like there answer would be i`ll find my own window cleaner thank`s,they don`t know you from Adam as good as your intensions are they won`t see it like that like i said most people are selfish and don`t see the big picture,your trying to do his wife a favour to them your just another window cleaner.A lot of my custies are fairly big in business and this also comes through in there view on most things and they certainly wouldn`t be told what was happening as far as who was going to be coming round there house-houses.

i can see your point , but this is a working class area where the rounds are compact and in patches,local lad was stabbed last year and lost a kidney,he was off work 6 months,work was taken care of and not one customer lost
