Title: Started my 23yr
Post by: Roy Harding on December 01, 2006, 05:40:56 pm
I started my 23 year of window cleaning today.

Went to a large house only been there about 10 mins they guy says they are going out, and hands me £200 in cash and say see you next time.

I love this job every day a pay day. and have had my best financial year ever.

I think Ian is about the same if we hit 25yrs I might have a party.  ;D

Congratulations Roy and well done to you.

I also have a long way to go, only in my 9th year, but it will show the new guy's, there is a living to be made out of window cleaning, and it can be done for years, with pole fed your not even forced to retire.

Wishing you all the very best for the future.

Nice one Roy.

I'm in my 10th year myself.
Can't believe I've been in one job this long.
Guess I've got so lazy I can't even be bothered to change... ;D

ps.. So he gave you that £200 ten minutes in to the job Roy?
Didn't you feel bad when you finished it 5 minutes later....? ;D

(sorry, had to get one in ;D)
