I've deleted a few 'chatty' posts; mine included; as I think it's a good magazine and worth discussing the merits; or the demerits of it.

Philip Hanson, the editor is an ex-moderator and a regular contributer of this forum, so I'm sure he'd be interested in what you've got to say.

not sure if this is the same mag but i recd one where the words are covered with squeege's, i have to say i thought one of the pics in it was a little insensitive, there was a ladder against a wall with a pool of blood at the bottom of it, the article went on toi mention some of the recent falls from ladders, im not sure if it was a genuine pic or a staged one, but either way i hope none of the families of the people referred to in the article receive one of these mags, it would be very upsetting i think.
there are more windows than window cleaners so lets help each other

That is the genuine picture of the scene.
Im a little suprised he published it, But he paid for the pictures so i suppose its up to him what he does with them.
Im sure philip would have consulted with the family and if it prevents another fall maybe its worth putting it in.

Its a shame though that there is money to me made from picture like this.

Why is the picture shocking?  It's just a set of ladders and a pool of blood.

The BBC regularly show blood-soaked scenes of unfortunates in Iraq.  Why should this be any different?

Is it because it could be the scene of any one of our deaths?

i did say "some may say" of course i wouldnt ;)

When philip reads this (i am sure some would have e.mailed or phoned him by now) Im only joking (thus the tongue in cheek smilie), its a cracking mag (and i mean that) where is the next installment of "ben"

though the ionics brochure does come in the same wrapping and with the same "mag customer details on" as i guess it comes from the same publisher

The alternative is the Fed rag. :o

I think PWC mag sorts out where we are or aspire to be as businessmen/women. Those who knock it either are so set in their ways they will never change their habits, or, can't cope with people making money.

I cant see much wrong with the fed rag to be fair, it has been an inspiration to me over the years.
I can remember an interview a few years ago and a successful guy was asked what is your worst ever business decision ?      his answer   ==== Not getting a sign written van sooner.

What more do you need for inspiration, that question has always stuck in my mind and it was always good to see what that old guy in rusholme was up to(Britains oldest w/cleaner)

I find the magazine OK myself.  A couple of particularly interesting articles this time - particularly the hands on stuff with the scissor lifts etc.

I think he only charged £1.00 a shop , he worked on curry mile in Rusholme , Manchester. there is a lot of window cleaners in that area and competition is fierce, it probably took him an hour for each shop.
Curry mile is in the record books for having the most eating houses in a one mile strip
It is one of the few things i miss about living in Manchester.
