Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Cleaning shows
« Last post by Pete Thompson on Yesterday at 07:53:54 am »
This forum never ceases to amaze with the idiotic comments.

Of all the people who could be considered takers… mark munro LOL! The guy literally got off his backside and using his own time, money effort and massive risk created an entire exhibition from nothing which filled a niche perfectly.

And then, continued to do it every year, growing it, organising it, planning it etc. for the massive benefit of the window cleaning industry.

Sorry Mark, it’s just not enough. You must also be on here every day helping everyone with what pole hose to buy and brush heads. You just can’t make this stuff up!

I go to this show every year, and always find something highly useful and interesting, not to mention catch up on what’s happening. And it’s also the ONLY show you can bring kids too, so we can go without missing out on time with my daughter, and she is at an age where she finds it all fascinating and exciting.

Mark, I feel like I need to apologise in behalf of the morons on here. But please be assured there are many, many of us who are not morons and genuinely appreciate the work and effort that you have put in over the years and continue to do.

Keep up the good work, and please ignore the absolute cakes who think you should be dispensing daily advice on here instead of organising the most useful show in the industry.

My best customers are usually pensioners. They all appreciate my work and pay on time. I raised my prices by a Pound and still have everyone that went up.

I started in 1988, I still have a few original customers (from the first year or so of trading), although I still clean quite a few of the original houses, just for new people.

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

It's even stranger when you suddenly realise those customers who had babies when you started cleaning are now adults.

The customer I have cleaned for the longest time is a commercial one.

I've cleaned it monthly since 1999.

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?

Get your prices up now people.

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.
