bumped into a few of them today!

first one had written his business name in felt tip on the back of his jacket,tracksuit pants and trainers on tradding a fairly  large property(ground floor only as you need a 25ft pole fully extended to reach the first floor windows)his ladders cant reach the upper windows so he only cleans ground floor.not very friendly at all even though i was trying to have a bit of banter with them(there were 2 of them).it was pouring down with rain though! 

then this afternoon i bumped into an old boy(pushing 70 and still tradding)ive known for years and he s adamant that wfp will be a thing of the past in the next few years and that his son(who has got most of his round now)should stay trad and that ive "got a lot to learn yet when it comes to window cleaning" even though ive picked up about 100 of his customers over the last few years at double and triple his prices!

he also said "what an idiot cleaning windows in the rain with that stupid brush thing!"even though he d been working up a wet ladder using scrim and fairy 

i didnt tell him id worked 9am-3pm (most of it in heavy rain) and earned £240,had 2 brews made for me,half hour for lunch and most customers paid me (most are retired wealthy folk on todays work.)

thank god for wfp and altered attitudes!

[SeanK]

No thank God for crappy window cleaners the tools they use have nothing to do with it.

[Smurf]

Oh well they obviously are happy and like to do it their way so that still don't make them dumb or ignorant surely no matter what you may think?

[SeanK]

are you in the 10% gang?

£240 from 9 to 3 with a half hour lunch break and two tea breaks I would say he's in the top 2%

You can do all the    idiocy in the world and boast about your "£240" earnings. However you are still In the same trade and as far as I can tell you live hand to mouth. Always trying to save a few quid on this pole/ that pole. Also you rent your house don't you? At the age of 45 or something? The odd groupon 5 star hotel break with your "Mrs" really means nothing btw.

Idiot.
