I wouldn't worry, I'm in my seventh year of window cleaning and I can only think of one full-time window cleaner who started after me and has stuck it for more than three years (Terry P for the local guys; and since he's paid off his mortgage, he's planning on winding his round down); and given the abysmal Summer we've had; I've never seen it rain so much; coupled with the Credit Crunch, I think new starters won't be finding it that easy.

ive also noticed a few more cars on the road with dodgy ladders or step ladders on the roof! they stare at me so i stare back!
Ive never understood the staring bit ???

the other day,four fellas all got out of a car,all took a ladder each,all done same house,looked at me and laughed,i was using wfp,they put ladders on and away they went,they only done the one house

There is nothing that gets a window cleaners attention more, than the rattle of aluminium ladders when they're not his.
-
I'm a minority cleaner where I live (other window cleaners have most of the work), but one keeps selling his work to different people, so we now have at least three more teams on to top of what was already about four of us.(they all seem to do a good job but from custies comments they are sick of new faces every month)
Annoying.
