    We moved house a couple of months ago and were going to get a window cleaner we saw to come and do our windows. 4 of our neighbours have warned us that he doesn't do a very good job and generally comes round when it's been raining to say he's done them when all he's done is sit in his car listening to the radio and eating his chippy dinner.

    I have a ladder in the back yard and a rubber blade thingey. Every month or so i have a walk round the house with the ladder,and do all the windows. Takes about an hour and costs nothing. Simples...
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    I used to leave the money on a high window ledge for the window cleaner when I was out at work, then at least I knew he had got his ladders of the van!!!!!!!

    Avoid any window cleaner who does not have a transparent pricing policy.
