Window Cleaning Forum / Re: TDS risen sharply

Whats bizarre is that I tested the pure water in the van tank with old meter and it was reading 1.4  so I assumed the old meter  was working OK

Also checked neighbours water to see if it localised problem to my house - and they had same reading so assumed TDS was accurate


Just checked readings with old and new meter

Under 10 tds both saying about the same but when I add tap water to pure to get a 20 tds reading   the old meter showing 60  then when I add more tap water to pure to get real 50 tds -  old meter showing 400.  Tap water is 300 with new tds and 850 with old meter -  so error only shows up over 10 tds.

Anyway, it was a learning experience and all is now sorted  :)

I have a lovely customer, must be in her eighties who had a stroke a couple of years ago. Last week as I was leaving hers she flagged me down and said "I didn't catch you at Christmas, it's not much but have this", and handed me 11p (eleven pence)  ;D , I was of course extremely grateful.

Driving back home after working all day, I noticed a black Merc 4 by 4 parked on the hard shoulder with its hazards on. It was a slip road just before we enter the M8 motorway. There was a well dressed foreign chap standing in front of car waving any car to stop. I pulled over and he opened my passenger door and said thanks. Then the commercial began, " I have run out of gas and I need money, I am selling my car tomorrow and have to go back down to London to pick up my wallet because I forgot it. Can you help me, I am very rich and live in Dubai and over here to sell my car. I will give you my gold rings and bracelet as collateral and will call you tomorrow to buy my gold back from you." I had a look at the bracelet, it was rolled in gold crap and told him to call the police for help. He pretended to call so I called the police and he jumped into the driver's side but it was a left hand drive and was in fact the passenger's side and drove by me.

I had the foreign reg number and the police were very interested and began looking for them. It is getting to the stage that they will try anything to scam money from good Samaritans, meaning no one will get involved in anything in the future. Just want you all to be aware when out cleaning. 😇

Bought mine 6 years ago, mine was faulty. Kept blowing fuses. The speed it reeled in would take your arm off.

Water works were spot on in dealing with it tbh, took it back and sent a replacement. Ive never had an issue with it since.

I think a line can be drawn under this thread now.

Locked.

Hardly enough on here to form a toxic environment and even one 'click'.

Let alone plural.  ;D


Ask yourself why that might be 😂😂😂then read my comments again , might find it has a ring of truth to it .
One of the people that made that statement used to be a leading light on here think you know him quite well


Funny how all these 'many' people - including a leading light - that confide in you won't post their views that apparently agree with you.

Perhaps they just humour you or (gasp) are they a figment of your imagination?

My view until you can provide evidence to the contrary is the same as Bungle's last post in this thread.


You can think what you want I really don’t care why have so many left the forum or stoped posting ask yourself that ? Why are there very few new members?  The number on other forums and facebook have  name this forum as unhelpful on many occasions, with clicks that back each other up and single out certain people to pick on that’s an undisputed fact , look at the smear campaign by many on here against a member who unfortunately  died a while ago , why did  they pick on him because he was successful and had done well for himself, still some made accusations against him after his death after they had posted condolences to his family absolute hypocrites. you can try and berry your head in the sand but it’s true ,It’s due to certain people’s attitude on here that the person that you know hasn’t posted on here for years due to this very fact I see him quite regularly as he doesn’t live far away  from me and he has said he won’t be posting again anytime soon due to the reasons I have already said .

WTAF are you on about? With your paranoia you'd be better off on mumsnet.

Easy mistake to make mate 😉

Oh do give over Splash. It’s ironic how the biggest bullpooter on here is throwing accusations out at others.  What exactly do YOU bring to the forum apart from being full of crap and a know it all on most subjects.

Forums all over the internet are declining due to the emergence of FB groups, it’s just a shifting tide, nothing to do with ‘clicks’ or ‘smear campaigns’.

I’ve never been to one of these cleaning shows but appreciate how difficult they must be to organise and why wouldn’t he advertise it here, to a very relevant audience. Good luck to him.
