    I’ve been doing this 8 years now. Best job I ever had. Keeps you fit, doesn’t feel like work and if you get bored just look down! We’re cool with people looking down, we say never look up. Because you’ll see a mistake that is invariably made whilst cleaning windows stacked up over 600feet high. Good to see hammond gave it a crack. Believe it or not I’ve never seen anyone freeze up or panic and I’ve worked with over a hundred people in it now. Could be lucky

    Well, he hadn’t received any instruction on how to use a squeegee, which makes the job tougher and longer when you ARE actually required to do the job (properly), but he gets my full respect. You can lose your life falling 2 stories, really. And the tallest buildings are no more dangerous. I’ve never been higher than a mere 23 flights. But what impresses me about this fellow isn’t the height of this building. It’s that he had no time to gradually acquaint himself with the high-rise surroundings when he did this, and on an edifice that majestic. And that DOES make all the difference in the world, having time to familiarise yourself with this work environment. I didn’t have to go over the edge until I’d been on the roofs aloft wee 6 storey buildings for well over 6 months. By then, I was begging to go over. Coz I was around such a supportive group of caring gentlemen. We had one girl on our team. She was fearless. 5 foot 1 in stilettos. You see a chick do this, Sonny, you face your nerves pronto. This is NOT a man’s job. It’s a job for level heads. And broads rock the bloody casbah, I’m here to say. Anyone can do this work. Coz fearless people aren’t born, they’re made. But I’m perfectly content with small jobs! I got enough grey hair, thank you.
