Whenever I mention this site to non-w/c they laugh. People think its funny to have a forum for w/c's, they ask me what we all talk about like how many windows did you clean today etc.
Thing is, I would never have been able to build my own wfp system without this site, (Matt was a great help with that 1) I probable wouldnt even know the concept of it all.

I tend to not mention this site to much but when you do, do you also get a big smile from your customers?

I think when people who are not W/Cers hear about the site they think we must chat about silly things like .. the weather, or who has the biggest ladders.. in some case's poles .. And we all know this is true..

But people dont take into account how much help & advice you can get on here.. not to mention keeping your eyes on how the w/c market and how it is  going in other parts of the uk... and the world

I wonder if there is a forum for Fishermen.... i bet they talk about hooks and rods allday

I wouldn't dream of telling clients about the forum, I have told a few I educated myself by using the WWW.

Sounds a bit more professional than "I picked up a few tips from a windowcleaner chat forum"

My kids, the mrs, the family & friends all take the mick out of me.  :

Try to explain to them how much help this forem has been to me & others.

Sometimes the mrs says she could understand more if it was a perv site,
in some ways it is, there's Squeaky & Tosh for a start.

My Mrs is convinced it's some kind of Masonic site

Funny thing is I can't now remember how i found CIU...!

i would not be a window cleaner if it wasnt for this site!

[Pole2pole]

I tell punters about this place. I tell them it's like goin in a cyber pub full of window cleaners(sad i know) but it's kinda true(just no beer in sight) where you chat,ask questions, have a laugh,wind each other up and hell,now and then even learn a thing or two. Now, who's round is it? 

[Davew]

Oh I bet they really have a laugh when people post their earnings on here!

[Ian Lancaster]

I once mentioned that I was going to a WFP course at the British Window Cleaning Academy and a friend fell about laughing at the idea that there should actually be such a thing or that anyone would need to undergo training to be a window cleaner. :

24 Hour suppot 7 days a week for free, and then theres the jobs you might go on together as a sub contractor when your struglling - who cares what people think

[simon knight]

Dino got it right. This site is the equivalent of going down the boozer with a few colleagues after work and swapping stories/bitching about work.

[macmac]

Laugh all they want for me dude!
I credit this forum with completely turning my working life around, reading & posting on here has done more benefit for me as a w/c than anything or anyone ever! although, you do have to ween the good advice from the not so good sometimes mind

My wife reads posts on this site as much, if not more than me, she thinks you guys and your antics are hilarious

There you go! Can't use a word even my maiden aunt (gawd rest her soul) used to use.

Another one: damn

I think I've made my point!

[simon knight]

Oh Mods...the word doging doesn't exist unless it's spelt with 2 Gs...in which case it's dogging which means sex in a public place.

[LWC]
