    I had a few cleaners through an agency. Wouldnt touch it with a bargepole.

    The cleaners the agency employs are the laziest, scruffiest scummers ever seen. Must be mega hassle getting these losers to turn up to clean (as they didnt for me!)

    Economy in tatters but some people still have enough 'disposable' income for cleaners. I guess it's a 'need' these days.
    If you want this job - just say a word. I can give you a try next week.

    The cleaner we had drove a nice car, but the also found out she had three houses, 3 acres, a stables and 6 horses. I got rid of the non tax paying piss merchant.
