When I started aged 23, all my customers were older than me. Now at 61, I am older than a lot of my customers.

« Last post by Bungle on Yesterday at 04:31:54 pm »I'm sat here inputting the work I've done today. On the screen it tells me when I first started cleaning the windows at each job. I've been gobsmacked by the amount of years I've been cleaning some of them. I genuinely thought I'd been cleaning some of them for 5 years or so, but they're like 10 years plus.
It's scary. Where has the time gone?

Why now?
Your customers don't pay council tax on February 1st and March 1st.
The pensioners get 4.8% extra in April (8% last April) that's £50 a month.

« Last post by NBwcs on Yesterday at 11:04:44 am »Don't think you've thought this through enough Scottish. What if the incredibly reliable PF reel, which has been known to be still in good working order after 9 years malfunctions, meaning you have to switch to your new £1k reel, and then some idiot hits your van, damaging the new reel, you'll be absolutely bollockest. Surely any self respecting windy needs a minimum requirement of 3 reels, (one at the front) if they want to be out "trousering" all day.
