Do we have an icon.
« on: November 06, 2008, 10:16:23 pm »
In many trades we often read about the builder who started out as a brickies labourer... and is now a millionaire.

and the plumber who went on to build a huge empire..

you get my drift.

Do we have anyone to look up to? 

a person who started out as a part time window cleaner , and is now one of the country;s wealthiest men ?

would be interesting to know about these guys , if there are any ...

. :)

What about Terry Burrows?  He's been on TV and stuff and is the fastest window cleaner in the world and in the Guiness Book of Records.

I've met him at the Birmingham NEC, a nice chap, gave me a lesson in window cleaning; he has funny hair though.

I've hair just like his; just not on my head.

Some may not like this name being mentioned cos of the BWCA/Ionics links but Craig Mawlem could be one of the top of the head for me.

Nope, he's an ex-RAF corporal with ginger balding hair.

No way could he be a window cleaning icon.
