Window Cleaning - Bad Name?
« on: December 17, 2008, 08:48:01 pm »
Here's a few quotes from a Snr Member on this site: (Bumper)

Quote
I know what you mean ,every time i go to prison and they know im a window cleaner, i have to clean all the little square windows with poo all over them Cry

never ever do bathroom windows   Wink
only when bird shight on

i dornt brag how much i earn, just tell tax man i only earn 4000

do what i do if my pad gets dry pee on it, so pee in your tank if you been out night before you will fill it.(September 06, 2008)

i make 300 pound for nothing every fortnight all i have to do is collect the houses ,clean them one fortnight and bump them the next, you might get the odd one who moans ,i say it must be the new lad love hes a trainee,its best if its rained that week coz they carnt tell if they have been done are not, if they say they are a bit dirty i just say its coz of the rain and wind we have had,that will be 7 pound please Grin  i love it easy money (August 23, 2008)

No need for me to rush i  GOT  DOUBLE GIRO THIS WEEK (March 21, 2008)

I dornt have to many cheqs going in my account ,i like cash so the tax man dornt know, what he dornt  know dornt  hurt

Sorry but this makes me livid!

Why are people like this allowed to spout such rubbish on this site?

Rant Over!

Read his posts. They are all a laugh (or nightmare if you are his conscience  :o).
1 thing for sure is that it takes a bit of nous to stay in business.
I'm dying to know if the photo is really bumper?  ;D

the thing is though, people still have the opinion that window cleaners are like this

they still exist, they work for cash, they pay little or no tax, they are on the dole

they make 300 quid a fortnight and are happy


who are we to judge ? ? ? ?

as long as you are happy with what you do, then thats great

i agree matt there are somany out there. trampy old men calling them selfs pro's.

 also alot of custys thing if your young and have only been doing it a while your no good. almost like you need to be at least 50 to be a wc.

on the other hand there are loads of young or old pillocks who buy a new van, wfp and spend a fortune making it look the nuts with wrap a round sinage ect then go out looking down there noses at trad or other wfp wc like there the bees nees, all the gear and no idea. they bang on about all the work they have and how much money they make yet still feel the need to bitch about other wc's mainly because there scared of compertition.

you know if your one of the above. sort it out you sado. your making this inderstry look silly

should we be licensed? like Scotland.

In England, it is relatively easy to get into this business......

in fact its getting to be  quite a common statement for people about to lose jobs , or thinking of having a change... " I WILL GO WINDOW CLEANING IF I HAVE TO"


I , Personally worked my way out of a sales job, into window cleaning, via pressure washing at weekends, until i had enough work to make the transition into window cleaning....and i know i am lucky to be able to have done this, but it has cost me a lot of money pro-rata.

I think it is too easy to get into, but very hard to maintain, and stick at it...

Thats why, there  are the fly by nights... and summer brigade and dole boys..... making it hard for the rest ......to put a decent price in... and change the public image of the real window cleaners who are trying to make a business or a living out of it

Because, these dossers want beer money... ONLY.

And when the cold weather comes, they run and hide... because they are shirkers and do not know what work is....

and dont know how to speak to decent people... and they are scruffy and that continues to give window cleaning a bad name.

and when they get a few customers too many..... they run and hide again !......

because they dont know how to cope... because its starting to turn into a JOB!!!.... So off they go again.


Until the beer money runs out. ...its a shame really.

A Blatant shame.

Ridiculous.
I know this is someone having a "laugh" but to me this is bordering on being irresponsible.Why is this type of thing not moderated we dont need this crap.Yet when a decent topical or opinionated conversation occurs people get banned...even topics are deleted if you mention another well respected cleaning forum....madness.

A lot of this went on before i was a moderator on this section.

Its ok to always blame the mods, but as Hants cleaning will testify as soon as it gets reported it gets acted upon.

As yet no one has reported this post to the moderators.

the question is though dave, what is to report ? ? ? ?

a guy who is either having a bit of a laugh or is serious ( to me it doesnt matter )

he signs on the dole, does a few houses and is happy, is he really doing window cleaners any harm ? ? ? ?

we do, i know that


BUT

he would still sign on the dole, regardless of him doing a few windows a day

so we would still be paying his dole

Best thing is to grass them all up and we'll all pay less taxes next year ::)

I hope he's doing more than  a few houses...... he said he got £500 tips :o
