""Seriously, who cares if they earn a few bob on the side. They do a ridiculously dangerous job and the wages doesn’t equal the risk.""

Health and Safety ensure they don't do a "ridiculously dangerous job".
Like the Manchester Arena bombing when they were told to stay 3 miles away while the public looked after the injured?
" and the wages"
You ever seen a Fireman job advertised?
No, me neither it's a closed shop.
No one ever leaves the fire service once they're in.
I don't know of any other "essential service" job where you can also run a business on the side.
There are loads working round here and I have picked up work after them and most were cash jobs.

Doctors run businesses as do consultants. Any financially savvy quack will also work on a self employed basis for a  private hralthcare company. No difference.

I don't like it either.
So every time my house is on fire I don't ring them.
See how they like it  .

Good job i have a 1000ltr ibc tank full of water with a 170ltr per min pump with a 40mm hose. I can put out my own fire 😂😂😂
As long as they do a good job and dont undercut then i dont have any problems with it.
There are many window cleaners who charge pittance for windows because its beer money or drug money and theres plenty of other shiners who dont claim all their income and dodge tax. So why have a gripe with chaps who sometimes risk their lives to save others.
One of my customers is a fireman and most ofthe time they can be the first responder to nasty situations and have to keep people alive or helpin the best way until the paramedics get there.
Haha, if they turn up in a window cleaning van  bet you dont turn them away in spite

That's good to hear, Nathan.
Can you put my house out too, please? And will you text the night before the fire so I can leave the gate open?

Yes I have seen it advertised , that’s exactly how I got in , saw it advertised and applied , then went through several physical and mental tests , followed by a medical and an interview .

That got around 1200 applicants down to 30 ......who then went through a 16 week course , inensive training in lots of different subjects along with grueling pt sessions .

We don’t have snooker tables , we have constant training in subjects such as firefighting , road traffic collision , water rescue , rope rescue , ladders , pt, fire science , flooding , mud rescues , medical training ......and in recent years in my brigade we have lost two colleagues in a fire , not to mention a friend that tried to hang himself from what he has seen .....sadly common in this job .

Even though your an ungrateful idiot , I would still have no hesitation in rescuing you from
A fire , or your crashed car , perform cpr or stop you bleeding to save your life ........ all for less than £14 per hour .

Go wobble your head .

[robert mitchell]

And don't get me started on pensions and retirement age. Retire at 55 with full pension  and cream off window cleaning rounds whilst on a 4 day off week. Unbelievable Geoff, unbelievable.

Firemen retire at 60 , that’s if they can still pass the same fitness test as an 18 year old .

[P @ F]

Im not overly bothered by it , but maybe Bungle is on the sharp end of an undercutting fireman , just a hunch , hence his strong feeling about this .
They have always done it and always probably will , if they pay the taxes its not illegal is it ?

[jonny thompson]

Just like these bloody x postman bungle😀

You need to get your facts write before slagging people off mate the retirement age is 60 , I was an on call watch manager for 30 years l left last year as we were doing  over 850 shouts a year out the bed quite often 4 times a night then up for work with my main job window cleaning :
Pensions again get your facts right on call firefighters only got pension rights about 8 years ago I would have had to pay 25k up front then 11% of everything I earn from the brigade untill I was 60 to get 4 k a year pension only a fool would do that .
You have no idear what being a firefighter involves do some reasearch first before making while statments and classing us as tax dodging scum as we are not !!!

Had Cbeebies on the other day.

Fireman Sam was cavassing for window cleaning work on his 4 days off to make ends meet and was teaching the kids watching about the values of not undercutting.

Good on him I say.

'Naughty' Norman Price will still undercut despite Fireman Sam's words of wisdom.
I just know it  .
It's the window cleaning industry that suffers because of the likes of Dilys's wayward offspring.

The problem is Dilys constant gossip and downgrading of WFP mate...

From what I gather, no matter what Fireman Sam (or ‘Clearview/shine/sparkle clean window cleaning Sam’ as he’s known on his days off) says, she just wont listen and prefers her Trad window cleaner.

Dont get her started on this new fangled ‘gocardless’ she’s heard about!

[Bungle]

So, we seem to have quite a few firemen on this forum. How many doing window cleaning on the side across the country I wonder?

Is 'woman' sexist too as it has the word 'man' in it?

What about when a fireMAN needs to go down a MANhole? Or would it be fireperson down a personhole?

And if a woMAN is a MANeater, does she (can't say 'she' it's sexist) become a personwhoisn'tgenderspecificeater?

And who now lives in Personchester instead of MANchester?

See, it's just gets ridiculous.

[LT carpet cleaning]

They get paid to sleep, play snooker and cook big meals. £30k a year too. No wonder the government tried to put a stop to this nonsense

What are you dribbling on about. Who do you think are among the first to respond to a horrendous accident? Also, if you think 30K is a lot of money for that kind of work then you are a nut job.
