Started when I was 18 with my mate on a saturday for spending money. That was 39 years ago now but had a proper job for most of the time with just a few spells of part time when I needed a bit extra. But once you can do it its always there so I went back to it again a few years ago full time when other options dried up. I don't know what I would be doing otherwise. Still enjoy the freedom.

First started in 1982 til 1986 when the Mrs asked me to get a proper job  :o..so I spent 17 years in foundry work! Went to college in 2004 and learnt plumbing (my poor knees)  :(
Have cleaned windows (trad) off and on til 2008 when my step brother introduced me to WFP and this is the life for me from now on

Getting a bit senile now, memory's not what it used to be but I reckon I started about 1965/6 - officially retired in 2009 so that's 43/44 years but still running the business so that makes it 45/46 years ;)

Just been thinking about my early days - hopping about on outside window sills 4 floors up on those old Victorian schools - makes my poor old blood run cold :o
