I'll PM you my address mate.  Send me a package to post them to you once a month.  They're all fourteen inch ones.

I change mine every day.  Wor Lasses every other day (because she's a skiver).

Pity I've cleaned out the car today, but I will save all my future ones for you.

Tight git.  You can really tell the difference with a new one.  Not only that, I think there's a slight psycological effect, where you place a new rubber on your squeegie and you think 'lets get my monies worth out of this'.

Anyway mate, you can have em.

(" tight git" ) I prefer the term careful with my hard-earned loot!
Anyway here's a question, how'd you keep wor lass(?) from moaning when it's cold?
My wife hates it - to cold, to physical.
How do I keep her happy and still helping me clean?

Regard

It's difficult to stop her moaning sometimes.  I've tried the following:

     Advise her to wear more layers.

     Got her a set of omnipole gloves (for her birthday in September 2005).

     Make her wear a woolly hat.

     Make the right sympathetic noises, like, 'Ah, well, never mind - not long now, only four hours and loads of houses to go'.  Or, 'Only four months till spring, hang in there'.

     If all else fails, tell her to stop whinging and work harder.

The last one works the best and really 'warms her up' if you know what I mean.  Tell her there's loads of women who work out in the cold (posties, coppers, traffic wardens, etc) and you don't see them moaning.

On a hot day work underneath someone else so any water falling down lands on your head and cools you down

YES! paul... cool's you down but you get a fright at first because you think its bird poop running down the side of your noggin.  :P

Here's a tip - be weary of placing your ladder over garage doors!
