Why care if the general public respects you, if someone is willing to look down on you because you have had the gonads to say screw this chuff I work for me, then their opinion is worth nothing.

And if it was a trendy job that commanded some respect, then loads of people would be doing it; not just those who're desperate!  ;D

Are you embarassed about being a window cleaner?
Why do you need to win the public over?  ::)
Having said that, I do try to rescue cats from trees when I`m working. Bit tricky if I`m wfp`ing though, because you have to knock them out of the tree.

Knocking cats out of trees?

I am offended, you should be sacked.  ;)

Spray them with water, they will find a way down. ;D

I could tempt them down with my brush.......I`ll get a salmon one.
And I wasn`t offended by Andy Gray; I just said he was unfair towards the woman linesman.

When you pre-judge a persons ability to do a job by their sex, then that`s sexism.
It`s nothing to do with my opinion, that`s how it is.
