Ssshhhh lads. As longs as people think its a rubbish job, its all good - keeps the competition down. The truly bad WCs give the professionals amongst us all the work we need 'cos they do a rubbish job and we don't, engendering loyalty amongst our custies. People who could be successful WCs think its a cr*p job and don't like the supposedy low-status - great - as I say it keeps what might be truly competant competition down.
The small mindset of the people on that Sunderland forum makes me laugh, but the original poster really did have a fair question, even if the figures he quotes don't stack up. Done right, WC is a lucrative business. I wish i'd started from school instead of spending best part of 20 years in the travel industry tied to a desk for 50 odd hours a week.
I'm only a window cleaner. Yep, and after 15 years instead of 25 last month I just paid off the mortgage on my detached 3 bedroom house and acre and a half of land here in Pembs National Park, thanks to being only a window cleaner. Hey Sunderland, who's laughing now?
