Is window cleaning is a form of begging?
« on: January 10, 2014, 07:36:39 pm »
Somebody told me today that window cleaning is a form of begging.

Its pretty shocking what the public think of us. In some peoples eyes we're on par with big issue sellers.

Today i put up 4 houses, with scruffy notes and all called up to say "yep carry on"

They didn't get the official letter as the average price increase was £4.50. I wanted them to think times are hard lmao.

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

to be honest i couldnt care less what other people think of me.ive got off my back side and im making a half decent living for myself with no benefits claimed.i pay my taxes etc,etc and i can afford to take my girlfriend and her daughter on holiday which is a lot more than her waste of space so called dad whos never seen her for over 8 years!! >:(

we provide a service that most people dont want to do.the demand for a good reliable window cleaner is still very high.its not essential but people like clean windows!! ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

I was working in Birmingham yesterday and actually went to James Turner St (Benefits st) in Winson green. I had to go just to see what it was like.

Me too.  How much we can earn is the biggest secret I know.

That comes from knocking doors and asking if you can clean the windows.
