thought i was old being born in 1958,Dia how old are you minium must be 65

67 next birthday. There were no squeegees around in those days, just a mop and a clean damp scrim.
No detergent allowed near either of them.
It's a shame that many window cleaners are unaware of just how good a clean, damp scrim is, had to be washed out very frequently though, and you had segs on your hands from wringing them.
