Jeff,
if it`s for this wfp company
www.baudoin.nl
then i have emailed them several times now with no response
maybe they just don`t like the British  :-\ and that could be why there`s no translantion chioce on their website

The Indoor Pole System is 995 Euro's or £685. Shipping will cost an extra 90 Euros depending where you are in the UK.

I thought it was pretty expensive for what it is, thou I will be ordering one later on today.

There are also alot of web Translators if you google it.

Most things here in Holland are expensive hence the reason I source all my gear from the U.K...

Cheers
Dave.

it would be alright on regular already clean jobs but work that is done less often or really dirty jobs the pad on end of pole would need changing every other window and i dont think the results would be that good . but i might be wrong would love to know how you get on with yours when it arives.

Thanks for all your help Guy's, it wasn't anything to do with an indoor pole,  ::)

I got it sorted last night, I just needed a translator for a letter I had.

Haha, yea definitely, my girlfriend is getting the hang of it though. Maar het is erg moelijk.

So how are you getting on in the Netherlands? Do you know how to speak Dutch? Otherwise it might be difficult now and then getting new customers? Very intrigued.

Hoe zeg je dat is Engels / Nederlands?  ;D ;D

GQC....In fact I find that being English is a bonus, many customers love to show off their English skills and the fact I speak a little Dutch is great in their eyes and they help me....most people are suprised that I speak any Dutch whatsoever... ;D

Obviously I am not at the stage to be able to confidently canvass so all my business comes via leaflets/word of mouth and other methods of getting my name out.. so my business is a little slower in growth than that of those who do canvass but in the whole I am on track both with regard to numbers and earnings.

Cheers
Dave.

I can definitely say for myself that if foreign people have learned Dutch, it's instant respect and appreciation from my side. That's where I'm coming from, every Dutch person know how hard it is, and 99% have the utmost respect for people who learned our language.

I think it would help loads in your case that most people speak good English.

Veel success!
