I hope that's not me at 75.If I'm doing that at 75 it means I will have done something wrong.Actually that's not quite right, if I'm doing out of choice at that age that's fine (a little sad perhaps but fine) if I'm doing it out of nessecity then please kill me now.
personally i hope im as lucky as that guy.id love to still be cleaning windows at 75....even if its only 3 hours a day 2 days a week...
Probably still cleaning houses at 3 quid too. Riding a bike carrying ladders too? Nutter.

I will be 56 this year, and if I'm still fit enough or even alive at 75, I intend to keep working. 2 or 3 days a week would do me.John
Old boy round my way was still cleaning windows at 83. Fell off a pointer and died.Local shopkeeper used to pay him £2.50 a week to clean his two windows and a door - basically said he just rearranged the dirt but he hadn't the heart to sack him!The old boy used to live in a council flat and went round in a 1983 Astra estate (this was in 2005/6) and his missus would sit in and do her knitting so they could keep each other company.Guess how much he left in his will bearing in mind he owned no property?
My goal is to buy a house in a warmer climate and forget windows when I retire. You only live once
then relax near a nudist beach in spain
