Mine vanishes for weeks on end too ! I asked him last time if and when he had been round. That was some 4 weeks ago and not seen him since !

What i did once say to someone who asked me was, get me a few people/neighbours close to your own house and then it's worth my while coming to do them, I ended up getting quite a few off that one and still have them now.

Thats what happened with mine. He said that to me and i told the neighbours and they all cornered him and now he does them all round here!

Yeah, thats what we had to do to get the window cleaner to do ours, now he does most of the houses on our road.

Ours hasn't been round since just before christmas

Think he only came round then because of the christmas tips

It sounds like some dont work through the winter.

Well, the one round here does.......although it isn't as interesting in the winter as he is always fully dressed......in summer I know some of the neighbours wait to see him do their windows showing off his manly pecs and you can hear the 'phwoars'......not that it affects me in that way. I'd rather have a good meat pudding with plenty of gravy!

Sounds like a 'diet coke' moment

ours are regular as clockwork, every 2 weeks, all kinds of weather, him and his mate are from padiham and do a top job to boot.
