Title: Whip round required
Post by: Moderator David@stives on November 19, 2008, 09:49:30 pm
As some of you know i have had a pole stolen and been knocked for £800 odd pounds

So if anyone has a supalite or thermopure i can have for free,   ;D  so i can continue to sit in my big comfy chair, while my boys go to work all day for me.

I would be so grateful,

Also great sums of money would be most welcome too (Notes only and no coins) please, although i wouldnt mind the odd large cheque.   ;D

Dave seriously you might be onto something here, Say if everyone on the forum sent you £1 and i wouldnt mind sending it, you would probably have enough to buy a new pole, Then if any one else was in the same situation we could all do the same again.
We are all here to help each other £1 wont break the bank will it.

Maybe one for the future , maybe it would be open to abuse.

In my case i jest, just waiting to see if Ionics or Alex, send me a free pole  ;D

So far One supplier has offered me a free brush  8) , so now only need the pole, gooseneck and some hose

As for me I see it as a business expence, and have the funds to cope with these issues.

Sell the Porsche never, that is my pension, in 5 years it has gone up £1.00 and looks like it is going to be a modern day classic and will rise in the future.

can i say a huge thank you to Dave Morris. what a very genourous donation to what i think is one of the most worthwhile causes going.

so many W/C come on here day in day out banging on about how much they earn. but most would never of made such a big donation. in fact i'm amazed more havn't at the end of the day just £10-£20 wouldn't even be noticed in a days takings from alot of guys on here but £100 from Dave is Amazing. so Thanks again and hopefully you will spur some others on.

Dave (St Ives), on a sour note....have you bought a padlock for your empty pole storage tube  yet....for when you get a replacement 60ft pole ;D   

Hope you get your pole back and I hope they catch the thief/thieves who stole it. :)

If your 60ft X-Tel pole did not have any hose or brush attached and you were storing it in an un-locked tube on the roof (as opposed to in your vehicle where it used to be) then this would suggest that the pole was redundant and you did not use it anymore (at least on a regular basis). If this is the case then you really do not need a replacement or even our sympathy as your slaves are still able to go and work for you and your revenue stream is un-affected in anyway  ;D

I think that this has been one big publicity stunt for your firms services  ;D either that or it has been 'arranged' to make us the general forum users feel that the Moderators are human after all  ;D ;D

You cant have one.

Recieved the brush and first impressions are very very good, i am not saying that because it was free, i mean it is good.

I will use it for a week or 2 then give it a review.
