Post by: rosskesava on January 30, 2005, 11:11:57 pm: Rosskesava and my (business) partner am going.

I asked my other half and she told me to 'shove it where the sun don't shine'. :-[

Unless it involved a nice meal afterwards etc.

Will be going by train so maybe a few cans on the way back .... ;D

Post by: Ian_Giles on January 31, 2005, 06:17:55 am: I'll be going along too, hope its better than the London one though, spent hours getting there, and after 10 minutes I'd seen everything :-\
Thought the one at Leicester was much better, more stalls and more to see, and the WFP section was very comprehensive, you could see and compare all the major and minor players, and even view their gear in action.
I liked the seminars in the London show though.

Post by: Jeff Brimble on February 05, 2005, 07:45:03 pm: The show is LARGE in an attempt to get us together I tried to organise an american styled "picnic" last year.
This time could I simply suggest that whatever day you are going that we meet at the bar in the main hall 12-12.15pm
If you cut out the Cleanitup logo and stick it on a badge, we will be able to spot each other(and as you are going round.
Dont forget to note which car park you are in before you get on the free bus.

Jeff, i am just getting into the TRUE welsh history, not the rubbish i was taught in school (the stuff westminster wanted us to know, mainly a twisted version of the truth)

Jeff i guess your old enough to remmber the FWA and MAC army stuff, and its from your neck of the woods aswell

interesting stuff (well to me anyways)
Title: NEC Show
Post by: Dick on February 10, 2005, 03:58:22 pm: As a "newbie" (4 months) is the Cleaning Show worth the time, if so how long should I expect to be there, - all day/ half day. Are there plenty of offers and presentations??
Title: Re: NEC Show
Post by: Jeff Brimble on February 10, 2005, 06:47:27 pm: Depends on if you want to learn something. I travel for just over 2 hours and have not missed any. Get there before the doors open, the stall staff dissapear like rabbits at closing time sharp. There are special show offers and the odd freebie. Look on it as a works outing and put it against tax. If you miss it,2 years to the next one. I will be at the bar 12-12.15pm.

Post by: Jeff Brimble on February 11, 2005, 07:05:22 pm: Yes Matt it was spot the deliberate mistake/I am dickslexic/ (actually stressed out). Got my wheels again.
"Diolch am eich cefnogaeth" is on all my reciepts. Hope to see most of you on the 3rd at NEC.
When I am cleaning the local Castle the yanks ask me what I am doing with wfp and I try to explain its a USA thing most of them aint seen one before ? maybe cause I use b/pac.
I love :) asking the young kids of all ages ( with my 30ft pole )if they have seen any DRAGONS and when they reply no, I say it must be because they saw me comming and have run off to hide in the dungeons-cause I am the official Dragons teeth cleaner and they dont like the taste of the toothpaste :D ! ;D
