That is a really good listen, I will have to get some dogs now lol .

Its hard to explain to customers when theyre waving at you that your looking at the glass and not through the glass.
Good listen, shame about the dodgy bloke and his wife at the start mind.

That old guy was 82, I have another 14 years to catch up with him, made my day that bit, I'll tell my customers about him when they ask when I'm retiring.

No! But I know him - he used to be in the same congregation as me. Thoroughly decent guy - superb pianist. I did some sub-contract work for him when I was starting off in the 1990's.

Love the last guy too ...
Interviewer "[why do you keep going] ... you could be going around garden centres with the wife ..."
82 yr old ... "euhuhuhuhuhuh... I don' ehuhuhuh"
;D Says it all!

Would love to know how the BBC got into contact with the wc.s in this programme.

They researched through google and the BBC website

A great programme,
But its a shame they only interviewed west country bumpkins and northerners,
Could anyone understand what they were saying? it was like 30 mins of white noise. ;D ;D ;D

good listen shame though about having to mention jehovahs
just because lots choose to be cleaners it has nothing to do
with actually cleaning windows
dodgy dave and missis did ok...well his missus did anyway ;D

mmm that one obviously went straight over my head ::)
i didnt ask a question i made a statement ::)
try reading what i said numpty ;D why you become a window
cleaner is irrelevant to actually window cleaning the new tech (wfp)
being able to squeegee, managing a business.
didnt hear about how many start because they have been redundant
or other reasons why because its actually irrelevant to cleaning
windows.
but the typical stereotypical crap always starts george flaming
formby or how most windies are jehovah witnesses
nothing personal against any religious group i just
find it irritating >:(
much like the numptys previous post! >:( ;D ;D ;D ;)

I think a survey was done once on here and I think over a third were Jehovahs Witnesses, definatly the most percentage of any other job in the UK. As I have said on here many times, why my dad became a w/c as after the war no one would give him a job for remaining neutral. He was the first JW window cleaner on Teesside, and because he made more than 6 times the average wage then, it was not long before more JW worked for him , then starting their own w/c business, as job suits flexibility and little start up costs, and most important, gives time for door to door preaching work

I think this is right Rob, for a long time i thought i was an Athiest or even a Pagan as i worshipped the sun and the seasons, but i discovered over time that i am actually a JW. I thought about it and the times i was preaching to customers at the door was unreal, Jesus Christ, Good God, Honest to God,etc where all terms that did and still do flow from my mouth, i swear on the bible !! I've heard unconfirmed reports that it was indeed JW's that started the patch system off, not sure how true it is. But cleanliness is next to Godliness, never a truer saying !!

So, how accurate would you say a poll on this forum is?

I'd say 100% accurate. Do you mean how typical of the target group this forum is?
