Window cleaner

Can anyone recommend a local window cleaner? Ours has decided to blame the government for his extortinate price rises (two this year, totalling 50%) although it is hard to understand exactly what the government has to do with this

Last heard of being dragged into a house in Chiswick - "An old maid walks around the floorShe's so fed up, one day I'm sureShe'll drag me in and lock the doorWhen I'm cleanin' windowsWhen I'm cleanin' windows"

Is George Formby still around?

Jim Lawes ● 96d

Yep I think this one  Julian v Paul. 1 all

Hilarious thread. Some top rants. One on Truss made me chuckle. All the more so as a few of the commentariat have pointed to Starmer’s new found fondness for growth and that scourge of the ‘Turnip Taliban’, Liz Truss.

Russell Pearson ● 96d

If you don’t want a reaction then don’t make your post political.

Paul Campbell ● 97d

This entire exchange except for one reply to my original post demonstrates completely what a waste of space and time a site like this becomes if extremists are allowed to take over.

I don’t think Robin has outed himself as being a Tory, he has simply expressed his bemusement at the cleaner blaming the government. It could be argued that you have expressed socialist views and outed yourself as being a Corbean supporter. Who cares?  Robin is simply looking for a window cleaner and provided his reasons for doing so and now he gets attacked by every moron on the forum. Pathetic. Quite pathetic.

Steve Taylor ● 97d

No confusion as to what inflation is but you seem to be confused about the inflation figure of 2% and justification of 50% increase in window cleaning costs!

Steve Taylor ● 97d

That's even worse then, publicly outing oneself as a Tory and sacking your window cleaner because they're not Tory enough? BTW you appear to confused about what inflation means - prices are still going up, only more slowly.

Two of Chiswicks heavyweight rappers meet in a flower market - I it!

Mark Frost ● 97d

“ Not the best look is it?”Why not?  Robin hasn’t named the window cleaner. He has simply provided a legitimate reason for wanting to change supplier and implied that the window cleaner is a moron for blaming ‘the Government’.  All will agree that to blame the government is totally ridiculous and stupid especially since inflation has reduced steadily over the year.

Steve Taylor ● 97d

My neighbour's the elderly ones get their cleaner to clean the outside windows, so might be worth asking cleaners if they would be happy to clean them.

Janice Evans ● 97d

Yes I think that is a sensible way to work with gardening.

Janice Evans ● 97d

Our gardener keeps his prices low by having multiple jobs in the same area on the same day. With us he actually does four houses next to each other so he doesn't have the hassle of travelling between jobs and paying four lots of parking fees Perhaps have a word with neighbours to see if they were also like their gardening done by the same person on the same day.

N V Brooks ● 97d

I included gardeners as they also suffer job losses when raising prices.

Janice Evans ● 97d

I was looking forward to a photo Julian possibly with rabbit ears on yoursuper phone, however, sorry but Paul is correct about window cleaners and gardeners having to raise prices.

You do have a police caution and you should ask yourself what the police would think if somebody less genuine than me sent them your posts from last night where you said you know who I am, where I am when I am volunteering for a community group, that you are going to confront me, film me and post your video on the internet. I think you need to take a deep breath and get some perspective.

Paul Campbell ● 97d

So that is your responce. You know full well i dont have a police caution for intimidating people on this forum. Someone turned in video of a subject matter into something else for ones own advantage and used me to send a message to others which included you. For the record,im a family man who does not go around threatening people,intimidating people or beating up people. Quite the opposite infact. I suggest you look at your posts on this forum and not my postings because everyone would find a vast gap between us. Have a nice day now

Julian Pavey ● 97d

You're looking to dump your current window cleaner for a cheaper one on a public forum. Not the best look is it?

John Hall ● 97d

If I had a police caution for intimidating people on this forum Julian then I don’t think I’d be making idle threats about confronting and harassing people in public. Just some friendly advice.

Paul Campbell ● 97d

Paul Campbell, whoever he is, managed to wreck this inquiry. Why does W4.COM allow such people to go on posting? And to reiterate, we are looking for a new window cleaner for a property in Chiswick. All constructive suggestions gratefully received.

Robin Knight ● 97d

Thank you - one sensible response!

Robin Knight ● 97d

"You’re grown men. Not teenagers anymore." Exactly,i was never going to meet him,just thought it wouldshut paul up. Clearly not going to work with him. Likely backfired as he will see it as a victory knowing him Someone asks for a window cleaner and paul turns up. I think people can judge who is what.

Julian Pavey ● 97d

This is all so childish! I can picture the pair of you fighting over a bunch of flowers and knocking the stall down.I know you have kids Julian, but I don’t know anything about Paul. Don’t you think it sets a really bad example? You’re grown men. Not teenagers anymore.

Georgina Flint ● 97d

See you out in the car park Chiswick really is getting like a walk on the wild side.

David Burke ● 97d

Julian, I am glad you agree that I have not called you a Tory racist. See you at the Flower Market and looking forward to you taking me down with your wit and intelligence.  👍

Paul Campbell ● 97d

Just that reply makes you not just smug but pathetic."So you can’t produce any proof that I called you a racist Tory. That’s because I have not done so."No paul,you put it in another way with a question mark and TWICE in a month without actualy saying such so you get away with saying something indirectly .You are a big mouth within this forum,rude and offensive against others. You need to be called out for what you are. Il let you replay,i wont be back until i upload our lovely get together. Maybe soon,maybe in a few months. But i like your smug answer to that meeting. Ha You know exactly what im on about.

Julian Pavey ● 97d

Robin’s window cleaner sounds like somebody who is fed up with the snobby toffs screwing him over and refusing to pay him a wage that allows him to live with the consequences of their actions.

Paul Campbell ● 97d

So you can’t produce any proof that I called you a racist Tory. That’s because I have not done so. I am very much looking forward to this encounter that is getting you so excited Julian. It’s going to be really fun and maybe even the high point of your life.

Paul Campbell ● 97d

As I said, do give my regards to Boggy,you insignificant little man I really can't wait to see you squirm like a piece of Thames Water detritus on a fishing line

N V Brooks ● 97d

"Should I call you Tim or Julian or does that depend on which social media site you’re using at the time?" Yet again another load of rubbish you spill out. Ive told you before,i am not tim,dont go under tim,and i dont use other social media places either. I am julian and not tim,il see you in the markwt on camera at some point in the future. That way everyone gets to see what you and i are like. Im not having you on a public forum make swipe accusations about me,or anyone else as it comes. Its cheap and nasty behind a brick wall. My way everyone gets to see you and me in person and that way everyone can judge for themselves. Il withdraw myself from this talking place until the time comes me and you are on camrera in public. You need to pipe down sir and not shout from the hip in your own prejudive way because you dont like what others say. Il suggest your may some remark,but il see you soon

Julian Pavey ● 97d

Robin's window cleaner sounds a bit of a pain ... but this thread suggests there's somebody else as well!

Jim Lawes ● 97d

Very funny and somehow also a bit disturbing how you couldn’t help yourself and did actually say something racist up the thread Racist Nige. It’s like you’re a toddler who can’t resist suggestion.

Paul Campbell ● 97d

I await the video of your encounter with Captain Skidmark with some interest Julian

N V Brooks ● 97d

I’ve never called you a racist Julian. Follow up your unhinged rant with some proof.  I will be more than happy to meet you in person. I’ll wear a carnation and give you a lovely big hug to help you calm down. Should I call you Tim or Julian or does that depend on which social media site you’re using at the time?

Paul Campbell ● 97d

Oh and just in case.I'm coming to you verbally and not physically with a camera for everyone else to get some insight into my issues you cheaply and openly post on a forum post towards me. And possibly others. You can openly oppoligise on camera if you wish

Julian Pavey ● 97d

Not quite on the ball after reading its back myself but many will get the gist.Being the flower market is in a public place and Mr cambell does not work for the intelligence agencies i will share my accounter with him on line. We may suddenly get a little more understanding

Julian Pavey ● 97d

Yep, the little idiot Cambell is in town yet again.May I remind the whole of Chiswick to ignore this person?He kind of excuses me as being some conservative/reform racist. Well, I have news for the keyboard warrior Cambell. I know who you are, I know where you are, I will see you within time down the flower market with my camera to confront you and we will see how quickly you run for the hills, you silly boy. You are a complete and utter idiot who throws all he can within the walls of one home. Let us see what you now have to say, any response will help my approach to you and your reaction. Dont like it, well I'll take your previous comments a little further., let us see what you realy think before you run off for help. How dare you twice put me down as a Tory racist. Il see you down the flower stall in the next 4-6 weeks. I might even film it so people may even watch you run home. You pathetic individual.The idea that you sit at home on your keyboard and have the front, will and power to accuse everyone with anything you disagree with commentsthat are in my view very much on the attack need to be pursued.I know many many people and families in Chiswick and I know many people on this forum. What I won't allow is for you with impunity to spoutyour views against people or myself for others to judge.I am a long-life Tory voter you have become homeless for the first time.What I am not for your pathetic questioning is a racist.We will off-keyboard at some point and see what your response is. And hopefully, it will be on camera for others to judgeIve had enough of you making cheap snide remarks for others to see and judge An no,its not a threat incase your thinking that as a escape route. Fed up w

“ Ours has decided to blame the government for his extortinate price rises (two this year, totalling 50%) ”You could try to negotiate a reduction and explain to him that the government has reduced inflation and also promised to cancel National  Insurance contributions for the self employed after the election.

Steve Taylor ● 97d

There was I thinking that the Canal Festival in Brentford would appreciate an appearance by the Grove Park Village Idiot. Obviously your carers thought otherwise. The day people of your ilk are considered superior, or, to use your archaic term 'betters' is the day that we all need to give up. Give my regards to Boggy. Silly, totally odious little man.

N V Brooks ● 97d

Oh look Racist Nige has come along from Ealing to troll his Chiswick betters again and add nothing to yet another thread. Try not to say anything racist please. Keep it civil.

Paul Campbell ● 97d

Yes, the Troll of Grove Park aka Captain Skidmark.

Katrina Black ● 97d

You said it is hard to understand how the government caused the cost of a window cleaner to rise suggesting that you are living in somewhat of a bubble so I gave you the courtesy of explaining it to you. You should thank me instead of resorting to abuse. Now put your hand in your pocket and pay the proles what they deserve and help them handle the huge increases in the cost of living caused by the basket case of government you voted in.

Paul Campbell ● 98d

Robin Knight ● 98d

Liz Truss. Wealthy pensioners who have paid off their mortgages should be grateful that the only impact they feel from her wrecking ball budget is when their domestic servants increase their hourly rates.
