my dads 71 this year comes with me window cleaning when we do a large university in summer he uses any pole no problem in fact up untill we changed to wfp 4 years ago he would keep up with most on ladders even 40ft ones and probably still could if we where allowed to use them  he has been window cleaning since he was 20.
 he still works full time doing other work we have powerwashing etc and gets angry if anyone suggests he should start taking it easier.

Most of you know I'm pretty ancient [67 coming up] I find the job a doddle with WFP.
I really believe that most of this age thing is in your head, think old, be old.
I have stopped chasing teenage girls, cause I know I can't catch the buggers, and my libido is not what it was, and having a wife less than half my age takes some keeping up with,
But I did beat the local arm wrestling champ fare and square last year, all 25 stone of him.
My son goaded him into challenging me, and I was drunk enough to accept.
If I stop smoking and lose 3 stone, I could be doing this job when I'm 80, my Dad was still doing gardening work when he was 85.
Just think how well off you will be when your mortgage is paid, and your on your pension.
I only worked 4 days this week, the downside is your tax bill.
