Thats so unfair
Knowing the Age
And time when window cleaners did things for littlte or no gain for them selfs
your sugestion is just not on
were the two ronnies
or even Larel and hardy

As you say Co-habitees
from reading other posts the gentlemen in question
were
of the old school of window cleaning
old shiners  of this world

Let's not get too carried away with this self congratulation.

About time I lowered the tone. Were Stan and Stuart co- habitees?

Just to put you on the right line about stuart and stan, they were both very happily married men, just partners in a business, and the impression I had when I worked for them for a month on my training so to speak, was they never even liked each other, but that is just my opinion and not a fact.
So the answer to your question is no

Hi Jeff.

Don't even bother replying to this plank.

First it sounds to me if he's abit jealous of the fact to decent guys handed over to you an excelent business that has served them well.

Secondly, where does he get the gay part from, the guys a complete plank. Just because two guys work together doesn't mean there gay.

Maybe he's gay himself but just can't admit it

Jeff is a decent guy unlike you by the sounds of it :

Jeff is happy with how he's progressing and is only sharing his happiness with us like minded window cleaners.

all the best in your business!

wish you all the best for the next 10-20 years

[Clive McDonald]

Hopefully stan an stuart are still around too after only ten years of finishing.

The best wish's for the next 10 or 20 years got me thinking. What is, or what would you tell stan and stuart your plan is over the next five years?
Funnily enough I know the answer.

Had you been asked 18months ago you would have said to plan and prepare for the smooth introduction of WFP without disrupting or destroying your business. This would involve spending a lot of money and you weren't entirely sure it was going to work, or that you would take to the new method of working, or that your customers would accept it.
You do have a five year plan?

Stan & Stuart died within a couple of years of each other, this is why I dedicated this post to 2 good men.

[007 or what]

Are their wife's still alive maybe you could buy them some flowers. to say thanks

Well Done Jeff, I'm sure those two old guys would have been happy, knowing that all the hard work they had put into building that round, was still being appreciated.
For me, the best thing about this job, is never having to take any more crap.
I can see Tosh's point about his life experiences, but my only regret is not starting back in window cleaning 30 years ago. If I had, I would have been able to afford to travel abroad with my first wife. She died aged 47 never having left this country.
Since I started my business, I have seen Cuba, Thailand, Cyprus, and many other countries, and of course many trips to Indonesia where I met my present wife.
You can't beat working for yourself.
IF YOU WANT TO GET RICH.
YOU SON OF A BITCH.
THEN THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST DO,
NEVER SIT DOWN.
WITH A SMILE OR A FROWN.
AND PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE. Dai

I'm just a baby at four months old! Just handed my notice in on friday. I've been a well paid printer for thirty four years - what a mistake that was! Job satisfaction - nill points. Treble shifts - s h i t e ! Used to work so much overtime, saturdays, sundays,friday nights, double shifts (sixteen hours) just to keep up with the Jones's. I wish I could have seen the future a long time ago.
