Years ago we had one window cleaner, a nice bloke called Brian… And he went everywhere on his bike and he grafted… He cleaned all the windows on every house in the street and he charged a fair price for it… Brian finally retired around 1996…
Fast forward to 2016… The modern window cleaner travels around in a van and has two or three goons ‘helping’ him to do the windows… Except they do fuck all… These twats will do the front (lounge and bedroom) windows if somebody is in to see/watch them… But most of the time they don’t bother… They hardly ever do the side windows and they never do the upstairs back windows… I have words with this cunt several times and now our esteemed window cleaner now wants 5.50 (five pounds fucking fifty!) every two weeks for cleaning three front windows… Well, I am going to tell him to fuck off when he turns up tomorrow…
This cunt also does his ’rounds’ when it is pissing down and expects to be paid for cleaning your windows when it is raining… Thieving cunt…

Our cleaner sold his round to three scousers who upped the price and didn’t do the corners. Came to a head when he came for his money one cold and wintry morning:
“We’re all done mate.”
“Even the front?”
“Yep!”
“Where’s your footprints?”
It had snowed overnight. You can guess the outcome.

They’re all the same, they want as much money they can get for the least amount of work. The fella who does the neighbours’ windows wouldn’t agree to once a month, it had to be every two weeks or he wasn’t interested. The rain washes my windows.

Wouldn’t agree to once a month? Tell him to fuck right off and shove his chamois leather up his arse as close to his tonsils as possible. CUNT!

A lot of tradespeople are the same. They do the bare minimum required and try to talk up the price. I needed a couple of slipped slates replacing after the winter storms. The bloke I used before had retired so new roofer turns up and when i ask how much he says £200 (plus VAT) Now, it should take 40 minutes maximum to do that job so it equates to an hourly rate of £300 for climbing up a ladder and hammering in 2 roofing nails and using a couple of clips and a bit of mastik. When I pointed this out he got quite arsey and started saying I’d need scaffolding really and he was doing me a “favour”. Scaffolding for 2 slipped slates yeah right…. He then said that it included “call out” I don’t understand why should I pay for his travelling time exactly??
Then there was the drain man. A couple of years ago the old ceramic drain pipe broke and needed replacing, quite a big expensive job, excavation etc. Anyways at the time I was selling my late fathers car and the crafty sod asked me what i wanted for it. He was “conveniently” looking for a car for his Mrs. This is an old tradesman scam. He was hoping I’d say take the car as part payment (It was worth maybe £1500) and the rest in cash but of course he’d then jack up the cash part so he was getting the car on the cheap, which he’d then flog himself no doubt for what it was really worth. Devious little cnuts.

Good cunting. The “call out” annoys me. Once upon a time being “called out” meant going to work. When did that change? Cunce!
