 Was a material planning, production scheduling, business management all the stressfull jobs. Never saw the wife and kids working all hours and had to deal with back stabbing managers who never told the truth.

In the end I learnt that companies do not care for you as everyone is trying to get the upper hand by lying , cheating, sleeping with the boss. ( and they were ugly) 

My health then went downwards as my body could no longer cope with stress, now have learned to live with it.

Have always wanted to work for myself but have never had the bottle but the events in my life changed that. Have always wondered why fellow wc's even though their life was not full of riches money wise but they were always contented with life. How right that is and now wish I had done it years ago.

So with my nice big pay off from my comoany to keep me quiet about IBM I invested it in wfp and have never looked back.

But ssshhh don't tell everyone how good window cleaning is

Loved them all, but having your own "stress" is much better than someone elses

Still doing both and love them equally.

It's funny how many firemen clean windows part time, someone pointed out on the SLWCN aberdeen list there were 7 firemen on the list. Don't they pay you enough and do you guys declare it

Kebab shop operative (though I look Oriental - it used to confuse the punters).

Joined the Army at age 16 and stayed there for 17 years, leaving as a Staff Sergeant (in a Warrant Officer's post).

Window cleaner for six years.  I'm not earning as much as Ian Giles, even though I work with Wor Lass, but I reckon I could be there in a few more years (he's been window cleaning for 22 years at least; the auld git, but at least I'm kicking the arse out of Squeaky and he's been going for years and years!
