Radial lite 18 inch is my go to everyday brush. Also like using the small radial lites for French panes as I have quite a few deep framed ones  doing them all day long is a pain in the rear but ok with these brushes.

I started off using them gold coloured Tucker poles as well and the 60ft one put muscles on you  ;D Couldn't beat an original Tucker brush for scrubbing power at the time.

Briggs vanguard are a cracking engine much more power than a Honda uses less fuel , and much quieter, Loncin have a good reputation but personally not had one .

Im looking at the 14hp  vanguard fraction cheaper than the honda but i know the gx390 is the go to. I do fancy the vanguard tbh


The Briggs is head and shoulders above the Honda I have had a couple of then in the past would never go back to them now

I’ve had 3 Loncins, all been superb.  No engine issues, ever.

They are a bit louder than Honda, but it’s no big deal.

Always remember that sliding sash or other 'big framed' windows need pricing accordingly.

Going Cashless is good in theory but I like posting a card and even collecting cash. It does take longer but one meets the customer and usually ends up with other work from them. Building a bond with the customer is the way I like to do things.

Scottish going collecting is a pain esp if you ve done it for 25 years and have more than 100 customers!

I've not collected for years now due to electronic payments,the pandemic was the catalyst to get even more customers to pay by BACS....now its around 80% BACS and the other 20% a mixture of cash/card on the day

I reckon they'll be no physical cash within the next 10 years.

Not sure on that - ive noticed nearly all the local chip shops and takeaways (not the big chains) have put up CASH ONLY signs this year

Browns restaurant, Park Street, Bristol, Parsons Bakery, High Kingsdown Bristol and The Forge & Fern, Staple Hill, Bristol have now all recently gone "no cash policy"

It's like a third world city.  ;D

So, am I right in assuming that as I am on a septic tank I won't be paying the for the water going into the drainage system?

Nick

 Not sure how septic tanks are rated but you may well be right which would make it fit in the £350 or so range. Just look at your last water bill for the input price per m2 and multiply accordingly.
