I thought it would be interesting to see what the actual range of experience there is amongst posters on here.
Do we have a good mix of beginners and old hands?
I will get you started I first started posting on CIU a year ago but I have been a window cleaner for 5 years. I started Traditional and have moved over to WFP 3 years ago. (IMO the best move I ever made!). How long have the rest of you been window cleaning?

Trad 2 years, then wfp for nearly 6 years.  Still trad a fair bit of work though.

I started in April 1980 Trad. Been working Non stop since.

I switched to Wfp January 2006. My round is mainly domestic and switching to wfp is the Best decision I have ever made in W/Cleaning. I just wished I had done it years ago.

Where have the years gone?

Because you get people like discount wrongly saying that I've only been going a year and have no experience. I've told you my experience discount what about you ? Sorry by the way for repeating a topic again so soon had I seen the other topic I would of just posted there!

Yes, that's what I thought you'd started the thread for. I can't see the point though when you don't wish to talk about the issues it relates too.

 I was just correcting a mistake of yours. You assumed that because sanity Started up 1 year ago that I was the same. I just wanted to point out that actually I have been going much longer than that. I put my money where my mouth is so to speak. Anyway you never answered my question. How long have you been a window cleaner?
