      Unhappy I don't believe it!

      As some of you may know, I am a part-time window cleaner who lives and works in London. To my suprise this week, a local critic (who unbeknownst to me was a customer of mine) decided that she would evaluate my window cleaning in the Local Newspaper:

      "In a occasional series about odd-job men, local arts critic, Elizabeth Quail asseses the work of local window cleaner Aaron ********:
      His squiffy action is both limp and flaccid, his entire sub-text mired in cliche. Where one longs for long strokes of sparkling-clarity, Aaron has nothing to offer but a thoughtless residue of suds!
      As for his technique with a chammy leather, I have seen it more deftly manipulated on a goat's arse"!


      I was only trying to make a living for goodness sake!

      Any paper which publishes "In a occasional" is not worth reading to be honest - wasn't the Metro this was published in was it?

      It cost me 50 pounds and a breakfast date to get her to print that, and then she goes and screws up the editing. Not to mention it's a good thirty words shorter than she promised...


      Honestly, I'm appalled. I bet PS could have done a better job.

      Give her the sponge and invite her to get on with it while you give her a professional's opinion. I hate people like this, what makes her qualified to assess you? She should stick to what she knows...

      Was it her house you were washing, and will this article have an effect on your business? Complaints time maybe?
