got offered 2 in my town last year for 4.50 a pop by someone on here never took them & bumped into a lad i know today & he's got them at 12 a pop inc signs which seems ok to me,   just to let people know how much they can get from the big firms if they haggle

I had some shop fronts just got rid as they are a pain in the ass for little money and the owners think they are giving you big business.

He's probably winding you up mate,

There's no way that they would pay that a clean,

well it might be 12 for both of them  but i doubt it,  he subs a bit off this lad so mebbe he was given a good deal cos i dont think any of the lads in town would go that cheap - no-ones that desperate, they would laugh at an out of towner having to travel 30 miles for a fiver or so

We cleaned a secure mental health unit in manchester last week,

It was a backpack job with constant return trips to the van to refill as there weren't any long hoses allowed due to obvious reasons.

It was very distressing.

Obviously didn't enjoy it, it was a bit of a warrior school back then, maybe still is? The whole experience certainly made me a better person though, so for that I am grateful.

What Dave is getting at is that I was once touching cloth litterally in a traffic jam that wasn't moving, and hadn't moved for over an hour with no prospect of moving any time in the near future.

What I did was lay a scrim on the van seat, hover over it and drop my insides into it. That was also very distressing for me as you can imagine.

There you go,

Its out now.  ;D

Dean.
