I'm going to contradict myself here, but anyway.

If you clean something a house cleaner can clean, then you are a cleaner.  If you are cleaning an 18th century tapestry you are a very well paid cleaner and Mrs Mop a poorly paid cleaner.  But you're still a cleaner.

Whey hey, you got it brother 

Now we're making progress!

I can't remember which footballer it was who was being abused by some fans in the street but he just laughed at them and said "I would love to stay and chat, but I have to go buy  my mum a new house" ...Do you think he gave a flying f#ck how others  'perceived' him?

[Warren Aldridge]

I think we have gone off track.

My points are that we are a businesses, allbeit small.... yes

And, with the impression thing.
I'm talking about the impression we like to give off to customers.

Do you not dress smart for them because of how you wish to be perceived? Or do you not give a flying duck?

[Peter Sweeney]

Dave Liahona doesnt give a flying ............ and look how he dresses and looks.

I think people are mistaking being professional for being A professional (in the traditional solicitor!accountant sense).
