lot of new starts in my area but mainly trad...i saw two guys todayin different areason foot hauling ladders and all their gear with them. i instantlythought fairplay at least they have the balls to get off their backsidesand try something.As for the guy who has the sparkly new van okay he has beenmugged by ionics but he has a start of a round and if he keeps hishead down gets on with learns from his mistakes like we all have toThere is a good chance he could be making a decent living a yearfrom now.Me thinks too many worrying about what others are doing,when theyshould be watching where they are going themselves

There seems to be an inordinate number of individuals going round wetting window for a living and disparaging our beloved purified profession in the process.I had that very situation today. The bloke spoke to me yesterday while I was cleaning shop windows. Went and had a look today.4 bedroom detached house. Previous window cleaner, shiny new van and in a uniform. Customer said he was there and gone in under 10 minutes. When I saw the windows from the inside of the house - eeeeeeeeeukkkkkkkkkk and the customer had paid £25 for that 2 days ago.Cleaned just the patio doors and kitchen window just to give him an idea of how windows come up when they are cleaned properly. This evening he phoned me - got a new job to do first thing tomorrow.Every year around here, and i guess it's the same in other areas, the shiny new vans appear in Spring and Summer but by the following January and February, it's the same old faces and vans as there's always been.
