The majority on here seem middle aged ( i'm nearly fifty) Is that because we are the only age group able to afford to start up with wfp equipment? i.e. redundancy payments, maturing endowments etc?
-
Na the youngsters have more sense than to be here and are just earning the money :)
-
the youngsters either can't be arsed to do anything or have been conditioned by school, parents etc. to aspire to a 'proper job' on £5 - £10 per hour. took me 'til i was 32 to grow a brain and start working for myself! ;D

Mine grew slower than yours. I was 34 when I went window cleaning. I do wonder though if society has conditioned a lot of the enterprising spirit out of youngsters. I recently took a little boy to the adventure playground I played in when I was a kid. We used to build three storey "camps", make our own rope swings, and generally get up to all sorts of stuff - some of it not without risk. Now I go over there and the only play structures are ones that have been built by the people who work there and they are all communal. Everything has been made ultra safe. They would have kittens if they saw what we used to get up to (including making a turfed over trapdoor to sneak into the place when it was closed).
This might not seem to have much to do with anything but I feel society has become far more controlled and free spiritedness is squashed down more than it once was. This seems to start from an early age so can set the pattern for later life. I sometimes wonder if anyone will have enough self motivation to become newly self-employed in years to come.

No worries there, Paul >:(
When I was a youngster, I could genuinely say I didn't know of any other window cleaners in my area.
Today I was working in Canterbury Road, the main street out of town to the east, and in just over an hour I saw five window cleaners vans drive past :o :o :o

Just in case anyone's wondering: "when I was a youngster" was a good few years ago.
63 this year
Two and a bit to go, then relax in poverty ;D

Don't give me that Ian. You'll have 50 franchisees on the go by then. You'll be sitting on your golden throne in your mansion wondering how to spend all that money :) .
I'm not too many years behind either. I've got as far as 50. Not sure how I managed it sometimes either :) . Still, whatever it's like, being 50 is a lot better than the alternative.
