There some great replys, and thanks, Some of you guys have had to start from scratch and build up your rounds over the years, and it makes interesting reading.
for me it was very different, I was very Lucky in becomeing a wc. one evening nine years ago there was a knock on my front door, and it was my neigbour who himself was a wc, and had been for six years with his wc partner of some twenty years. they asked to come in for a chat. 30 minutes later I was a wc with all the equipment, and a full round of three hundred customers.icluding commercials,
I gave up my full time job as a security engineer after 15 years ,and spent the next six weeks, going around with these two old guy's, who showed me how to clean windows, and introduced me to all the customers,and showing me how to do all the paper work.
After that six weeks I was on my own, well me and the boss (wifey) The two guy's in question were very well off, each owning two and three houses each, I hasten to add this was nothing to do with window cleaning.
and just to let you know they would not accept any money, for the round or equipment, and after several attempts to give them money, they were becoming quite offended by my attempts to pay them, they are both happily retired, and told me last night they knew I would stick to it, and not let it go down the pan,
how right they are, I have never looked back, and think its the best job in the world.
So now you can see why I say I was very lucky on becoming a wc. I now salute those two guy's
