There was a blind window cleaner (he must've had some limited vision though; people who are blind are rarely 100% blind) who recently made the papers since he unfortunately got ran over by a car and killed. He was a top athlete; a runner; and competed in the para Olympics (or was wanting to).
You've got to respect guys like this who just get on with their life despite their disabilities. I've two arms, two legs, slanty eyes, and I moan like a little girl on a Monday morning.

I hope thats not the bloke who went round with the barrow. I had a lot of respect for him, for getting up and making a living the way he did.

Sorry matey! I meant the thread ;)

I am one hundred per cent completely deaf in my left ear, have been for 20 years. Does that count? As I only have one ear, that works like. Is there an award going for special needs windies then? Am I to be entered into a prize draw?

Ha ha. Stu, can I have one of your big lugs. ;D ;D ;D

One of my employees has only one arm, but we just tied an Unger pole onto the stub and stuck a squeegee on top, he manages really well.
He also has no legs from the knees down, but we put some stilts on him, they are the extendible type which saves us money with ladders. He can reach about 10.5ft High!
Because he is disabled we can park the van where others cant, which saves us money on parking etc
-
how about replacing the stilts with 2 pogo sticks and then suggesting he wear a head band with a scouring pad on it, bingo no more problems with stubborn bird crap eh ?
just a thought ;)

How does he wring out his cloths?
-

Is he still going....wow, when we were full on WC'ing. loads of people mentioned him and that they had cancelled him as they were too worried that he would fall off the ladder! I take my hat off to him. At least he is getting out and doing something, not like some of these fat lazy job dodgers you hear about :)

I saw him up a ladder once when I went through Little London. But your point is a very good one regarding the difference in attitude between him and the fat lazy job dodgers you get on here ;)

A bloke with one hand worked in my area for years and years, even had a couple of lads working for him, this was the days before wfp, the bloke had a hook instead of a hand

I work one handed most evenings when the missus is out and I have free access to the internet.
