Hi,
I have just been reading through some of the topics, and it got me thinking of all the guys who used to ask or give advice....
Does anyone know , of anyone who has given up window cleaning?
and gone back to being an employee elsewhere?
Or, the newbies who thought it was easy...and found it difficult to build a round?
interesting to know who loved it then hated it ????

Not sure what the % is but they say most new businesses will fail within the 1st yr or trading

Hi,
I'm still around ;D ;D
But to be honest, I'd rather spend time with family and getting on with my life now. But I still pop in occasionally to se whats going on.

-
I aim one of the long standing members of this forum! but only drop by now and then!
My business is still moving forward but my spare time now is for family and friends!
-
Tryng to think of a few people who have gone.... trevor,...david968....
Newbies who joined only this year have gone
-
Well Im still here although not as much in the summer months.
-
Im still here but what has happened to Squeaky? Havent seen his posts for a long time?
-
This is a very informative forum, and can be helpfull. Too serious by far though. Too many on here have large egos and too many take the job far far to seriously in respect of a public internet forum all about the mindboggling aspects of ....well cleaning stuff. ::)Loads on here love a laugh but the majority who dont, I think puts others off.
-
There have been a load of good people who have come and gone over the years. Some, as you say, probably found the job too much for them but others were established WCs who have just drifted off.
My favourite was Shinnyshiner, he was always on here.

I think a lot of people get fed up with being attacked for having an opinion, I know as it used to happen to me all the time on here!!
-
Mr Tumble used to make me laugh,dont understand the ins and outs of wfp but he did something with the water and got a slating on here and stopped posting, think it involed silicone or turps
-
i will bet , out of the 340 people who have viewed this topic, some of them will be the people who used to post and now simply watch.
-
If you go to the start side mate you can see how many and WHO is online ;D You see some names on there that never post or have stopped posting. You can always click on a profile and see when any member was last active, that's why for example I looked for Sam Peafield. Not being funny mate, didn't know if you new about the start side thingy, if you know what I mean
-
No, i didnt, still dont lol ;D
I think a lot of guys, come for advice , take it and off they go....
which is fine, ...and people do get too busy to come on too,

I have never heard such rubbish, people like you come on here spouting about nothing and blaming everyone else for everything that has gone wrong.... ;D
See what I mean!! I have gained a lot from this forum and feel that I have a lot to offer, ie my honest and unbiased opinion based on my many years of experience in this game... but then an idiot like this comes along and makes me not want to come on here anymore!!!!!!!! >:(

We used to have some real plonkers on here with multiple identities who thought it was great fun to wind everybody up with stupid ideas.
Friday night used to be carnage once the booze kicked in. In some ways I actually miss it, can you believe that?
However, the golden days of this forum IMO was when WFP first started taking off. Some of the trad window cleaners took it like a personal affront to their methods of working. We had some very irate and impassioned posting about how it wasn't right and shouldn't even be discussed. Interestingly many of the biggest antis later switched over, realising it was more profitable.
They were good people and did much for the forum. The arguements about trad V WFP used to run for pages but it really aired the issues and got them out in the open. For the average window cleaner there was now way he could have got so much information and feedback from a single source.

Hi dave ,

I post very occasionally now and just pop in now and they to see whats happening.
To be honest, as a mod I got bored deleting pure dross, as a posting member I just found I was answering the same old questions week in week out, which granted, I am always happy to help but reading people's opinions on some stuff just got tiring.
I mainly communicate now by email.
-
i used to be on here a lot but only pop in now & then
-
Now that I live in The Netherlands...I suppose that I like the English banter and this I believe keeps me here....
But hey it's nice to hear about other peoples days and the 'issues' that pop up...
Can get lonely this job.
And for others they either get bored with us continually taking the rise and of course all the nonesense we write when we have got the hump!!!
Cheers
Dave.

I BELIEVE BOSHDOSH, that YOU are the one sending me poop via emails as i notice you actually have the same email as COZY..
Also based in Herford, Germany & called Richard Powell.
EVERYONE KNOWS i can be offensive regarding football comments, but HAVE NEVER been sly like you, and say it as it is.
IF you want to carry on sending stupid emails - carry on doing it........ >:( >:( >:(
-
If you look on my profile Albert Einstein, you will see it says my forum ID on there, all I have done is change that. I haven't sent any emails to you, if you have them, post them with the server address and lets have a look. If I have sent emails of abuse or any at all prove it. Oh, you can also report them to the police as that is an offence and I would be procecuted for it. I have nothing to hide. My name and address are on my website. Knock yourself out . ???
Oh by the way I AM COZY, DOH!
To make it really easy, forward my apparent mails to one of the mods. No copy and paste.
Where did I get your email address from ???
