Are Unger and Ettore feeling the pinch
« on: May 24, 2006, 05:15:19 pm »
  While looking around Focus today I noticed an Unger stand selling squeegies to
  window cleaning liquid. Do you think these companies are now feeling the pinch
  with the introduction of WFP.

  I would have thought they would be by now looking at the WFP market in
  selling complete WFP systems.

  Can't remember the last time I bought rubber for my blade, Squeeky must
  be keeping their profits up

Haven't bought any for ages.....about time I did.

I never keep track of how many I've got left until I take out a "blunt" one and find I haven't got any....

That's where I put the bloody same one back in again. >:(

What will probably happen is the squeegee companies will put their prices up, as it becomes rarer it becomes "specialist" :(
They seem to go up every time I stock up anyway....

Seem's like B&Q all over the country are doing it,

I did try the bottle liquid (cant remember the name) and it was very good, but then they doubled the price, so I stopped buying it.

Unger sales for their Teleplus poles must be booming. They have got to be one of the most rugged, best value for money poles out there. Dai

Their sales must be down as more window cleaners go wfp so they hope to sell there stuff to Jo public (with poles for safety) only trouble is hubby will spend two hour doing it as normal (we’ll) he’ll do it once for the Browne points then it’s in the shed!!!! one month later and wifee  phones the window cleaner LIFE IS GOOD

 ;) ;)
