I purposely didn’t read this thread until after I’d spent the day with Tosh just in case I read something I didn’t approve of and then spent the entire day either moaning, takin the p or quite simply stayin in bed and not bothering at all…..I’m glad I did.

A Day in the Life of Tosh ‘The Last Window Cleaning Samurai” by The Noob aka Craig.

My first thoughts on meeting Tosh at our pre-arranged spot on Thursday morning were the typical “I thought you would be taller” and the “yes its true looks are unimportant”.

Our first port of call was Toshs house where after my fifth cup of coffee that morning I was tooled up and asked to try to keep the noise down as his missus was asleep and he didn’t fancy wakin her. Just in case you didn’t know she’s the disciplinarian in the family and he tends to be a bit of a lazy sod (self-admittedly) when she’s not around. Sorry mate but you asked for it.

After observing the window cleaning samurais technique on his kitchen window I then proceeded to try my luck and prise the squeegee from his grasp in order to have a go myself. I can shamelessly admit that my first go using the ‘Parkinson Sufferers’ technique was basically quite crap. But 3 more cups of coffee and another refill of the bucket later Tosh felt I was ready to be let loose on the publics windows allowing him to put his feet up and read the morning paper. All in a days work.

I’ll try not to bore you with the details but working with the squeegeeing samurai was indeed a most pleasurable and fulfilling experience. Even if he did worry me at one point when I asked him if he had ever seen anything, how do I put it?, untoward happening through somebodys window. He replied that he once caught a guy enjoying his own company through the patio window. That must have been quite horrible I enquired, “for him it was” came the reply, read into that what you may.

All in all I thoroughly enjoyed myself and felt that I took a lot from the experience, minus the tomatoes of course.

So, if anybody out there is thinking of doing the same, then trust me you could do far worse than spend a day out with The Emperor Ken.

Thanks for everything Tosh, you certainly are an officer and a gentleman.

nice to finaly meet you m8  ;)

sounds like you had a good day, you should have come with m8 as i teach in a errrrrr slightly different way... we start off with a few pints in the local then we draw a few pictures of windows on the back of the beer matts after wich we go onto the cafe for a full english, then find another pub to swill it down, if we have time after that and we are still standing then i may show you the squeegie :D...

no but really glad it all worked out and from the feedback tosh has given us yu did prety well, i feel you can tell if someone will make a window cleaner in the first 2 hours they have either got it or they havent and that doesnt mean you will be a squeegie pro in 2 hours, im just saying you can tell if they have it in em... if they havent your come back with a sore head ;D

well duno what else to say but good luck, dont go chasing the £££ at first get your standards up to scratch and speed will come (and the ££) but you carnt earn money in this game if you make a bad job.....

and as regards pricing, tell ya customers you were under the tuition of tosh then you can charge em mega bucks that impresses em  ;)

good luck and welcome to the boards :)
