The Secret Life of Cleaners (BBC2)

[Vivacia]

Anyone? I've started watching it on catch up.

Did anyone else think that the posh, full time mum woman was treating her cleaner as a way of buying a (vivacious, interesting) friend with the added bonus of getting her cleaning done by her? She was going on about important it is to have trust, and to click and to get on... cut to the cleaner announcing she's got a new (once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity) job and leaves in 3 weeks. Brilliant.

Oh dear, I've watched a bit further and now they've finally said "goodbye". Poor, lonely rich woman

After she tried out the new cleaner she described her as not as outgoing as the previous one...since when did being a good cleaner have anything to do with being outgoing? Sad lonely woman indeed.
I have no issue with anyone with a busy working life having a cleaner to help them but someone who's just hanging around while you work, chatting non-stop? She even admitted to hiding away in the bedroom pretending to be doing something important until they leave with previous cleaners. Erm, what? At least if you have the cash to not work then use your time more effectively, instead of cowering in the corner for a cleaner! Sadly I have met many women like her though.
Shame they didn't interview Yasmin like the others to see what she really thought.

Her and her friend were so rude, I mean having different water for the "maids" for fuck's sake.

I felt so angry hearing about the women being exploited by the landlords. The rents they were paying were ridiculous.

I thought one of the women doing the head-and-shoulder shots was an actor.

This was fascinating. That poor Romanian lady living away from her children. The landlords were so exploitative. Loved the Irish cleaner's contributions.
