So why do I wash windows for a living:-

I am never stuck for cash. Since starting in1988 I have always been able to put my hand to some ready cash whenever I needed it.

I am free to come and go as I like, so if I fancy stopping for a pint on a hot summers day I can. 

The buck stops here, If there is a problem people come straight to me and sort it out face to face. I loathe back biting work place politics and petty whiners.

I choose how much or how little I earn. If I want to work two or three days a week or seven, I can decide.

I like to be in control of what I earn and how much work I do for it.

My working environment is often fantastic, I really like to get around the place and see how people live. There are some brilliant people out there to who really know how to live.


sorry I got bored and didn't finish. to be continued.........

women paid me in asda today,problem is you have to rack your brains to think which house

I don't! I have about 400 customers and if I met any of them in the street I instantly know their name + address,what they do for a living, how much they pay and how much they owe!! I don't really need George as its all stored in my head!!!

Totally opposite to me.

I am in it for the money pure and simple, I dont get any enjoyment of cleaning any windows at the moment.

Very honest statement and i think that most of us if being honest will say the same, then come the percs that you can prioritize how u like

The thought of runing 3 vans, manning them, nightmare. I'd soon lose my enjoyment!
If you employ, say 5 blokes, then when their wives get the grumps they'll come to work & pass on the grief. 
No. No. N oooooooooooo

I'm on me own, I got 2 good mates with their own equipment & we come together for the big jobs. Its a joy to work with them. 
Too big is too serious.
