Hi, I got into it a long way round; I went to university and got a good degree in engineering, worked in the corporate world for nine years and was ready to blow my brains out! I quit and bought a convenience store which I had for ten years. One of my customers who I've been friends with ever since was a window cleaner. He worked trad but had about ten lads working for him so never actually did anything except collect the money. He couldnt even be bothered to count it so had someone do it for him. He always had the best and newest of everything! Anyway I sold the shop and moved to Spain where I set up a motorbike holiday business. I was living the dream but my wife was really unhappy so we sold up and came back. We bought and renovated a house but ran out of money late 2008 and I couldn't get a job. I spent my last £10k setting the business up and haven't looked back. My convenience store was worth 10 times what my rounds worth but I earn more from windows than I ever could in the shop. It's a great business to be in.

 
Can't do the trendy places round me anymore is half the trouble cos think dubstep, grime etc are just codswallup. Or maybe using words like that are lol (notice no expletives though).



We're all talking as if we're on our last legs. We still climb ladders. Slowly but still climb lol
Exactly lol.

what dragged me into the game was bad people and very poor gaffas who need battering with a baseball bat.working all day for 40 quid doing property maintenance and thought i work too hard to earn this sh1t so i just jacked walked out and took a gamble i have a house and fam so it was a risk but it payed off.

ill never work for anyone again in my life soon as i arive at work for someone else im ready to kill them once they tell me what to do a cant stand it.
I know exactly what you mean with that last paragraph.I left my job for health reasons a couple of years back and can't cope with numpty cell leaders, supervisors and various A@@@-holes telling me what to do.Like you, I now find myself in a position were I'd GBH the 1st numpty that tries ordering me about-too many idiots that can't do the job telling the people that can do the job how to do the job!

Rant over, for now.
