Once a month, climbs ladders, picks up bits and bobs that end up in the gutter pipes and charges �7 for the lot. It�s a team of three. The chap that runs the team is lovely. He�s young and it pleases me when he brings his 3 year old daughter around in the evenings to collect his payment. They�re always so happy. I�m also pleased to see young people carve a niche of employment for themselves. He, his wife, and daughter have even come to church every now and then. Really lovely people and an asset to our community.
He even kindly did some complex and intricate cleaning of some stained glass last year for us and wouldn�t take tuppence for it!
Oh, and I�m shocked to hear about someone paying �14. In all honesty, I�ve always felt we should be charged �14-20 due to height and size. But he charges everyone the same. (and hopefully makes it up in volume!)
We�re very fortunate!
