The levers haven't turned up and he's sitting at his comp bricking it and wondering what to tell us.

Post by: Clive McDonald on July 22, 2009, 08:35:04 pm: Well i'm a bit disapointed that you couldn't let the idea that the levers had failed to turn up hang for a while, but the pics were good.

As someone else commented i am forever catching them on roofs and gutters and undoing them, your transverse clamp is brilliant and solves the problem. Did you get many sent today as a proportion?

Title: Re: f.a.o alex
Post by: Clive McDonald on July 23, 2009, 07:07:17 pm: I would get one- but if you already have an inferior hybrid and an sl2 it's a bit of waste.

My 22' slx arrived a few minutes ago, slightly shorter closed than my 17' xtel and much lighter (although 17' isn't heavy). The fan jets stick out a bit, i hope they don't scratch.

I think in the world of wfp this is about as good as it gets.

I've been thinking about gardiners today- Alex ,Kirsty, dad, Mr's A, and all seem quite reserved, but..... in the current climate the bbc business amongst other tv channels are desperate to get their hands on good news uk business success stories. I think you've got quite a good story Alex. Perhaps you are shy as a family, but if you did want to raise your profile one email would sort this.

Just a suggestion.

is there anything you cant reach using a normal angle adapter?

I went for the 17" gooseneck for recessed windows - its invaluable for those!! However its quite hard to use the pole and move across the window without it toppling at height.
Title: Re: f.a.o alex
Post by: Rogue Trader on July 23, 2009, 07:15:32 pm: Up to now for recessed windows i just screw an extra plastic angle adapter on which works but is a bit shaky

Post by: Clive McDonald on July 23, 2009, 08:28:04 pm: BBC 1 put my wife on live the other morning talking about the credit crunch in a two/three minute repeated morning segment with simon jacks. Her and her pal were on the one show too the other week asking alan carr daft questions.

I have a friend called fitzy, and he's always on. But i think in this case we are talking either a large segment or an in depth twenty five minutes. They do seem reserved and probably not interested but this would mean huge publicity that would cost a mint if you paid for it, and usually lots of approaches.
