26 years in print, the first 15 were fantastic worked with great chapels and decent management. Out of the last 11 it was getting more difficult to maintain a descent living as the printing industry was dying through poor management over capacity and spiraling cost. The last 5 years were dreadful, disputes sackings and large scale bulling. I remember telling a good mate in the firm what i intended to do, he said F**k THAT HOW AN EARTH CAN YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD UP AND TELL PEOPLE YOUR A F**KING WINDOW CLEANER. YOUR A F**KING DISGRACE YOUR A SKILLED BLOKE DOING A S*** JOB THAT ONLY THE LOWIST OF THE LOW DO YOU ARSE WIPE. I was really upset at his out bust and we fell out. He was unemployed for over two years and spent all his redundancy. He was chasing none existent print jobs. I'm the happiest i have ever been in work and just love being a window cleaner.

I was trad..........well, someone had to say it  :P.
Before that I was a lion tamer......but I lost my red jacket and chair and wanted a bit more danger.
And before that, me and my mum were a Little and Large tribute act. But my mum had her hair straightened and I had my eyes lasered and we never looked the part again.
It was good while it lasted though.
