How to find a decent cleaner?

So we should all vote remain, just so you can get a cheap cleaner? !!!!!! . .

Britain in a nutshell. Loads of people voting Leave because they believe immigrants have sub-standard English and are "stealing are jobs" and loads of people voting Remain because they want cheap cleaners, coffees, car washers and builders.

It doesn't matter which side you're on, it's a bloody mess all round. All the referendum has done is laid bare (or as the OP would presumably say, "laid bear") some of the embarrassing attitudes too many Britons have.

Oh, they do.

It was a deliberate misspelling, in keeping with the theme of little Englanders preaching language superiority over “forriners”, hence the speech marks.

This exactly, although the majority of leavers probably can't afford to employ a cleaner and have to do it themselves SHOCK HORROR. First world problems, no wonder the country is going down the pan.

I'm sorry you feel this only applies to myself or the cleaning trade

As has been mention in London you may need to offer more per hour but you can insist on references etc.

Where did I say I'm offering less per hour? Please post a source for this. I did not mention a price, I accept everyone for the rate they charge as long as they have a cleaner available- the problem lies with not enough cleaners in the area. If you could explain how a lack of cleaners in the area is related to price, I'd appreciate it, thank you.

Agreed! The replies are embarrassing.

I believe all decent people should be permitted to live together regardless of race, without boundaries.

I don't mind paying a higher price for trades as long as they actually turn up. My experience of the english is that they're unwilling to do trades, and when they do, they take long breaks & go home early. Since the vote, the gap in trades has worsened but the British don't seem willing or able to fill the gap- at any price. This is likely different in different areas, but certainly prevalent in parts of London.

Is it laid bare or bear? Because earlier I was told bare is to be naked.
