Hi :-)

Welcome to the forum, we are a good bunch, loads of info on loads of topics and everyone is so helpful.

Where are you based? I'd fill in your details fully as people are reluctant to give away secrets to their competition, just a suggestion.

Lisa

Welcom CP Cleaning,
I am also from Newcastle.

Lisa, long time, more than 15 years ago, my business partner said to me: do not be afraid of competition, look forward to it…

You cannot escape competition, but you can overtake your competitors…

I am not afraid of racing I am looking forward to it

In fact I enjoy it

Kind regards,
Arthur

Gary,

I cannot say about Karl, but Tim is going to visit carpex.co.uk on 16.02.06 so you could come and meet him and me in person

Are you going to visit carpex?

Kind regards,
Arthur

Is anybody going to join me signing a birthday card for Tim and presenting it to him at carpex during the lunch time?

Kind regards,
Arthur

« **Reply #55 on:** February 27, 2006, 08:02:20 pm »

Arthur......i don't wish to be reminded that i am getting older!!

Instead of a card, at the show call me on my mobile: 07791 716 280 and we can meet for a coffee or something and for anyone else who will be there from the forum.....how cool will that be to meet one another??

I would be more excited meeting up with some of you guys than getting a card.....but i really appreciate the thought Arthur

You are embarrasing an old man

See you at the show

Tim
