Why would anyone think that? We offer a service that either the home owner can't or doesn't want to do.
I consider myself a business man ,the same as a wheelie bin cleaner,an accountant,or solicitor,and we can earn the same.
If someone said I was begging I would tell them to go away begging with F,those people are just jealous that we have got off of our arses and created a business out of nothing and also we are our own person and in control of our own destiny
