Title: I'm usually quite calm....but...
Post by: julianbiggs on January 29, 2014, 11:33:35 pm
Now people who know me would regard me as generally a pretty mild mannered chilled out entertainer..As well as a bloody good window cleaner !

But, since we went over to wfp ( Aug 2012 ) there is one thing that really really annoys me ( calm down Ju )

We've got a busy day ahead, lots of houses to do ( not as many as some jokers on here ) cause we're only doing 107 houses today !

Then it happens...yes..oh yes....you know what I mean..

That insignificant  84 metres ( my business partner broke the other 16m in a fit of anger ) is playing ball winding in or out perfectly and then it thinks, hang on im not having this ! I'm gonna snag myself on that wheelie bin wheel, branch of a small bush, tiny edge on a slab, pointing on a wall, or anything else that I couldn't snag on if I tried !

It becomes a challenge between man and hose..

Hose usually wins !

There ends the scripture

I wound the hose in the other week and after a bit of a battle, it suddenly went free. Carried on winding to find an (ex) newly planted rose bush attached to it with several thorns right through the hose and a one inch tear.

107 houses, that's for newbies, children and OAP's. I do more than that before lunch and on my own.

Pah! Lightweight I do 100 houses before I stop for a coffee (Elevenses).

My hose is on its last legs,  it looks like Freddy Kruger got hold of it and shredded the yellow.  It has 2 brass joiners in so far and I have just bought 4 more from ebay.

I do have a brand new 100m re-enforced hose but I want to wait till this one completely dies.
