Oi! Bugger off!

I'm not cheap, but I'm not expensive either.

I'm Mr.Average in my prices.

I thought this was going to be I you wasnt  a window cleaner what would you of been

[Davew]

If it was, then brain surgeon I suppose.

[windowwashers]

I dont clean my own windows as it takes to long, I get one of the lads to do it and I am a nightmare customer for them 

[Davew]

Nope I wouldn't pay I'm too tight. I hate doing my own too - plant pots everywhere, three wheely bins and a horrible conservatory roof not to mention the miserable owners.

[Ian W]

We have a window cleaner. My wife knows I would be too lazy to get on and clean ours.

[LWC]

i hardly do mine, when i got pole system was like all the time like 2 times a week. then once a week, then once a month...now

hmmmmmm

[Wayne Thomas]

If I weren't a window cleaner I would live off the state as it wouldn't be worth finding or sustaining a job locally because of the low wage situation because the county I live in relies too heavily on tourism instead of real, all year round, decent paying jobs. I have and always will clean my own windows because I'm not a lazy person.

About ten years ago I tried to clean my own windows.

I was a squaddie in Northern Ireland at the time, living 'behind the wire' in an army married quarter; we couldn't get a window cleaner for security reasons.

So I borrowed a set of ladders from a neighbor and tried to do my own.  Firstly I was terrified; I didn't realise that using a ladder could be so scary, especially when you don't have a clue how to use one; and secondly I used Windolene to clean them with, and that's a pain in the arse!

From then on, when-ever I could, I always had a window cleaner; until I became one myself!

I'd like one now; it's a pain cleaning your own windows; but Wor Lass reckons that would be daft!

[gary999]

the kids do them, the 15 yr old does the tops and the little un does the bottoms
likes to clean car as well. i get the trolley out the van plug in the 2ft - 4ft pole
away he goes.

saying that now the weathers changing they might not be so keen on getting wet

oh well theres always the wife

[Village Gleam]

Before I spent £300 on trad cleaning eqiupment without having any customers or having done any canvassing, my logic was if I was my only customer at least I would break even in under two years.

Since then van and WFP, i'm weighed in at about fourteen grand. This could take awhile.

Nice trick opening by the way, I thought it was about an alternative job too.

Tosh, if you think cleaning windows in your married quarters in N.I was dangerous then you could have swapped with me as I had to wear a bullet proof vest, helmet and welding mask outside the camp perimeter fencing by the Falls Rd in Belfast with 2 'pig' armoured vehicles as protection from the IRA. Every time I struck an arc with the welding gear I was an illuminated sitting target. I learnt to weld very fast in situ over there
