Yeah, he used to be a builder years ago, he owned a few investment properties in Belfast and Bangor.
I think it was me  who got him into window cleaning, i bumped into him years ago and he told me his building business wasn't going to well and what i was doing, i said that i had got a job cleaning windows and i was getting £12 per hour this was in 1991, he looked impressed and the next thing he was out canvessing

[jimboo]
