Only 6 months, so not long. So 600 quid per day is with 3/4 men?

Arhh right, i was going to say to earn 600 quid per day per person that is some going. But even, i take it is your business, thats still a good turnover.

Definately. In my opion its a far better and safer method.

Talking about being looked down, I do think people give you a bit more respect if you use Wfp.(Not that I care what they think) I would rather be a trad cleaner than have a dumb**** office job.

yeah I'm a partner, we have busy weeks and we have slower weeks, this weeks a slower week so been out doing it on my own. trying to fill up the whole four weeks to be as busy but its hard graft working and canvassing.

£600 a day 1 person now that would be an achievment, one heavy day  :o

I have never done trad just come straight in to the wfp, just going on my friend (partners) experience has saved me all the headache of learning and stopped most of the pitfalls (all though there always seems to be something popping up)

Use mop and blade on insides od commercial but thats it really

we try to portray our selfs as a good outfit (and the graphic design has come in handy) i think it has helped us a long the way. people are fasinated by wfp, especially when you go into the scientifics of it!

I used to be a train driver on the railways and I got more serious insults then about the job I did than I do now. I remember one City type came up to my cab at London Victoria and hurled a torrent of abuse for a good 10 minutes at me, most of which was about how could any human being do such a low down job, and then promptly got on the train I would be driving at speeds of upto 90mph with maybe 800 people on board.

It's just how people are and their predudices and their ignorance. It's not just window cleaning, it's most trades or proffessions.

Personally, I don't care one hoot what people think of me or if they look down on me or not. I am happy doing what I do and to me, that is all that maters.

My local is a rough and ready pub. Down there I sometimes see our postman, 2 of our dustmen, the local roadsweeper and others who live round here who do manual jobs and I prefer their company to that that of my brother in law who is a bank manager of some poxy little tarted up shop front somewhere in the City. He cannot have a conversation or a drink without worrying about his status.

I can. So can the people I meet in the local.

Give me window cleaning anyday.
