Cold callers at 7.45 on a Sunday Night

[Gardenmac]

We had a guy call at the house Sunday night at quarter to eight asking if we needed a window cleaner. It was pitch black outside somehow he thought he could give me a price to clean the windows got me a bit narked.

Noticed he had no ladders on his can as he sped off.

[Ian Leach]

Hmm a bit suspect to me.

[Gardenmac]

That's what I thought Ian. Like to give people the benefit of the doubt on most occasions but when's it's on my front door step becomes a different matter.

Makes you wonder if the outcome would have been different if you were a little old lady.

[Ian Leach]

Tbh I've never had a window cleaner knock on my door they have always posted a card or leaflet at various times of day and night.

They do not use ladders round here anymore, just two miles of yellow hose and a long wobbly brush:biggrin:

 

Yours does sound a bit suss though, might be worth informing the local boys in blue.

[Shane]

I think the result may have been different if you had not been in????

 

He may have been a window opener.

[skyhuck]

Why would he bring his ladders when canvasing for work?

I window cleaned for a while, nobody responds to canvassing off a leaflet or card, but lots do to a knock at the door. He was probably just going at a time when most people are in.
