Any true window cleaner's tales to be read on here?

[anneasquith]

Oh yes. The outside of my kitchen window is filthy ?

Well, gizmonster is a window cleaner. I wonder if he'll see this thread and entertain us with stories while he waits for the weather to clear up before going out to work.

I wonder if quiz would "do" my windows. No rain here.... Yet !!!!!!!!

Contrary to our local paper which mentions that window cleaners going up a ladder with a bucket etc doesn't exist, wrong - my window cleaners climb up to top window front and back of house for a paltry £4.00 which is nonsense.

Anne do sorta know re your windows being dirty but I view it - at least they are taking the superficial dirt off - better than nothing.

Window cleaners round me are like rocking horse poo

[jennyjoan]

sad to heart that Pru - our window cleaners are lovely and have been with us for about 15 years.

Also they would do any job you would ask - ie cleaning the gutters. Carried a very heavy fireplace to outside of house (to be collected).

Hung lights for another neighbour from her gutter. So all in all very good.

I got rid of mine after discovering he used the same bucket of dirty water from the top of the street to my house to clean Windows!!

I haven't seen a window cleaner for years. I am lucky that Mr O is a bit OCD about keeping the windows clean.

Years ago I owned a house with a secluded garden. In the summer I would often sunbathe topless (face down) in order to avoid strap lines. I wasnt expecting the window cleaners when they walked in the back gate. Not sure who was the most shocked. Him or me as I screamed and covered my bits and ran to the sanctity of the house to cover up.

A quite well to do chap in our pub asked the pub's resident window cleaner/village idiot to clean all the rubbish out of his garden shed and set fire to it.
He came home later to a rubbish strewn garden and the dying embers of his shed.

Last month my window cleaner parked his ladder against my front wall and then nothing, so I peered out the window and saw him just standing there staring at his ladders, then he lit a cigarette, smoked it a bit, then walked off leaving his ladders there! He came back about five minutes later, removed his ladders and walked off! I was in a state of undress and my hair was a mess, so I didn't go to the door to see what he was playing at. All was well this month though and he just cleaned the windows as usual !
