So you are ashamed of what you do? If you think it's that bad then why don't you just say I have my own cleaning business ???

I was actually thinking along the lines of what Helen just said.  Nothing to feel any different to what other people do for jobs.  Not sure why it would bother you Dave?  People warm to people, whatever industry your in..

Kev dont think there is much money in offices, maybe 12K starting jobby, Thats quite shocking in itself.  Its a question of prejudgement, and second guessing.  If people do that, then thats pretty shallow.

I cant speak for other people, only myself, Im always interested to hear what people do for jobs.  Its interesting to know.  Always inquisitive.  If somebody said window cleaning or cleaning, I would question myself to find out more, about the company - you can say one job title but it dosent give away much.

So, some window cleaners are as guilty.
