Title: The best flyers in the world?
Post by: Clive McDonald on July 03, 2009, 07:05:22 pm
Okay,I'm convinced ive got the best flyers in the world.

Recently Joeuk made a similar claim.


If this topic doesn't get deleted i will post a post a highly relevant window cleaning related picture at eight o'clock (tonight in an hours time) that will remove all doubt.

That is of course unless you know better!

In the meantime you are welcome to add your guesses and comments.

Joe's flyers certainly do get attention, but i would never use them as they are based on a trick, and although this is clever i'm not sure it would hit my demographic in the right way.

My own flyers have had mixed results and mostly i think people bin them because they are too professional, so i have nicked one of Matt's ideas and stapled a personalised note to the front.This now seems to work, but i feel the CC has slowed everything down.

Not many people seem to have voted in the poll although  i see that joe and ewan have.

The reels in the photo are of course the real best flyers in the world. You can walk away around all sorts of corners effortlessy, and the wind in is like greased lightning.They never grow tired, never ask for a pay rise, don't leak, and are very robust.

After serupticously covering it with their foot and then stooping down as if to tie a shoelaces before palming it and striding on; to find half of asdas car park laughting  as their their joyfull elation turns to publicly observed dork stupidity may not make everyone want to sign up.
i can imagine many covering the moment by saying to the wife
"great, i've been looking for a window cleaner for ages."
"oh is that what it is?"
"of course i wouldn't have picked it up otherwise."

ok heres how to get by any legal stuff its simple half it, it still gives the same effect.when you fold it dont do it right to the edge, leave a few mil to fold over, this keeps the note close, so the wind stops it opening
keep it half
