Nathan - can I ask - why do you actively encourage other windys in your area to go wfp? surely long term your encouraging more competition for yourself - why would you want that???

These lads i know very well, good friends of mine for over 10 yrs and they dont work in my area.
For everyone else, competition is sometimes healthy. It keeps you on your toes and makes sure you dont become complacent. Ive seen competition come and go and wfp competition will be no different. If they cant hack it, cant get the rounds, dont like the messers etc etc, they wont stick around regardless which method they use.

To be honest I would have liked to have gone as would have been good to have a play with some of the soft washing kit on offer to compare.

Do you know if they are doing any live demos of the kit actualy running?

I see now benz  had the idea of using  a dosatron static in a van for mixing chems at the right dilution rate into van tanks rather than use it as an on demand trolley unlike mr cleaver whatever his name is.

I was going to go, I left home this morning meaning to go, but I ended up on the other side of London finishing a school job off.

That'll teach me to forget two sets of windows which cost me a 5 hour round trip round the M25.

I got soaked. I had to go back and do two sets of windows we'd mistakenly missed on that school job. 5 firkin hours round the M25, what a joyful day.

Would've liked to have gone, did you go in the end Steve? I would've liked to had a look at a few bits and pieces to compare with existing kit; poles, brushes etc.

No. I didn't fancy the drive on my own. I was going to go with Cliff Perkins (used to be on here) but he decided to take his motorhome and I didn't fancy stopping over for the "evening's entertainment".

Surely with your wealth you could have paid an employee to drive you there, might have been a nice trip for you and

It's the new Ranger.  It's a wide angle lens.l so a bit misleading.

Knee slapper that. Yes, she does but she can't get into it as she's arthritic. I'm sure your mum approves of your decision to not work very hard and not earn much also.  ;)

It is pretty nice inside. It's not for work other than quoting. I have a basic model Transit Custom which is a nice vehicle. Lovely to drive - just like a car but no aircon - not that it bothers me as I don't drive it anymore.  ;)
