I’d say my hourly rate has quadrupled since I started, mostly because of CIU.
I don’t know how you used to get by on £30 an hour.

I come on here mainly to see who is waving their bits and gloating the most over what they earn, how expensive their vans are and how to cut costs on resin! 😂

I also enjoy Malc Gold's witty anecdotes. Apart from that I don't get too much from the forum in a technical sense as I'm one of the few traditional windys left on here.

Oh, I nearly forgot to answer the original question! Yes I do earn more than I did when I joined CIU, but then doesn't everyone?

Aw shucks! Thank you.  :-[
It's a game of three halves!

Well as I registered in 2004 I would hope so. £100 in a day was a "good day" for me.

I was on ladders and driving a 1986 Volvo 240 estate and from this forum I learned how to install and fit my own system then an immersion heater in a van and that Gardiner poles were worth going for.

Roy Harding was particularly helpful and patient when I was agonizing over going wfp or not.

Tosh was "Windows_Chepstow" and then a moderator, Squeaky was denying any benefit to going WFP and moaning about the Army lads nicking all the decent women.  ;D

Tosh was a moderator before and they let him back!  :o

He was probably ok if he was still drinking though.

One thing that has decreased is the amount of rubbish I post. But this is solely down to me not posting as much.

There is a limited amount of genuinely useful things that can be said about window cleaning.

Same here. I started on the ladders in 2004 working out the back of my old golf. £120-140 tops would be a really fantastic  day!!
I had a couple of near missses on the ladders one week, 2010 so gave serious thought to going wfp. My wife and I sat down and decided how we would go about making the transition. We didn’t know diddleydoo about wfp back then. RO or resin, static or in van? Pole makes with good reputation.
I found all the answers on here.
Roy Harding was really helpful with my endless questions at the start, along with Winpro and others.
They helped me understand how a system works , how the RO works and setup tips. Those that share their knowledge have been fantastic.

So thanks to all you fellas for the advice  :P

Looks like this forum has been the catalyst for a change for the better for a lot of us and our cleaning businesses...long may it continue  :)
price higher/work harder!
