 what is a genuine windie ? 

 on this forum i chatted to   a guy [from  Harlow ]  said he mostly works where i work [colchester] so i offered him some work gratis as a friendly gesture . he said great but never showed up to meet me when i said i was in town and now im pretty sure he never works in this area. its a good hours drive to colchester from harlow anyway but i jus thought he must know what hes doing

 .  lately iv been followin him on the forum and come to realize hes on here most days in the daytime  postin about allsorts and talkin the talk

   

 are there many of these jokers on the forum ?

your damn right . i had this discussion with my workers yest . this guy lee contacted one of them  ,via facebook , and told her he is going to be working alongside her .   
  come to the conclusion hes a dreamer  or possibly a windie stalker/dreamer  .   we gave it some thought,how could we draw him out into the open  but decided its not worth the effort .

I am a Doctor and an Airline Pilot but found that I couldn't make enough money at both
these jobs so went into window cleaning.
I spent £50000 on a top of the range wfp system which paid for itself in under six months.
I spend a lot of time on here because as we all know the money is that good cleaning windows I
only need to work 12 hours a week.
But to be honest I wont be spending as much time on here in future as I'm upping my working hours
to 24.
I miss flying and want to buy my own plane this year.

im thinking that some folk stumble onto this forum and then love faking bein a windie-the double life scenario .

 i stumbled onto a truckers forum after doin a search for a satnav that warns me of speeding,well i joined the forum . i felt a right fraudster cos everybody else was a real trucker . now i didnt go so far as to boast about my truck , i only was on there to do with gettin a satnav ,but  i had to pretend i was , to get the best info .

theres a sort of thrill in pretending you are summat you are not - long as you dont take it too far

[G Griffin]

It could be a doctor or plane driver pretending to be a window cleaner.

I don't think I could fake those long hours on the road, though. And all that fake, greasy food  .

[robertphil]

i believe Susan to be telling the truth here.   greensteads not everybodys cup of tea and its natural to feel uneasey there , "bin the lot of em" would be quite understandable.
    however i like working on that estate and lunch at the community cafe is summat to look forward too  , dining with the chav set / stars  of  a  victorian freakshow .

[dannymack]

Mind you Rob, Susan did make me laugh when she mentioned we've binned all our work there, it was only 6 jobs pmsl !!! Sounded like it was an entire Village lol !!!!

You go girl he he he !!!! Girl Power ay !!!🙋

we hate the place cant stand the people there just like albert street in Colchester to when I move to frinton in the next few months I will be binning a few more off  that estate is just not for us 

[robertphil]

i never got paid in Albert street .    professional messers , ruthless.    i got revenge  the bamboo in the door lock ,  later viewed the broken  window scenario

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

we have just two people left in this street but not for long there days are numbered getting a few from Clacton ringing up at the minute , we have just got four blocks of flats and good money as well sick of the old window cleaner not turning up

[robertphil]

i think wherever you work,its the messers who get in your round first.  theyr skilled and lay in waiting .   they know you are desperate for work and have seen your type several times over the yrs,the newbie . are we going to pay him,like fook we are !

  But after a while you get start to get bites from the decent folk, who live on the same street .   this takes time,often years ,   the decent folk rarely get hooked in the original trawl for work . they observe you from across the street, behind the nets, making sure you do wipe the sills etc .   are you regular ?  ok,yes you are .     yoohoo ,excuse me ...   and then you are called upon
