Well, its this time of year when I stock up with cup a soup varieties from Amazon. You can buy 24 sachets for less than a pound a pop. Great for the guys who work a full day and have a flask or a van kettle. I just saw Makita now sell a battery kettle which holds 0.8 litre but not sure how long it takes.

Why the hell would you buy processed rubbish like cup a soups? Much better to buy fresh soup from your local supermarket. The pea and ham or chilli bean soups are my favourite. I take them to work  in my food flask in winter (usually with a round of sour dough bread)

HMRC have 1000s of window cleaners on there books.
They use algorithms against our industry and every other.
If the algorithm flashes up an inconsistency against a business it can flash up for further investigation.
An old friend of mine had been a shinner for years.
Cash based for most of the time.
Had an inspection and had to pay back £50:000.
He reckoned they know every trick in the book re window cleaners.

How did he pay back £50k?£500 a month for 10 years?
Do they charge interest? That would be £60k 😉

Yes they do apparently. Probably more than £10k over 10 years.

Yes we can supply a replacement battery for the WFPL FOB. It will be supplied with the wires and connector. These are £13.35 + Vat and shipping. With the shipping as it is a Lithium Ion battery we have to ship with a courier as Royal mail refuse to handle the batteries .

The courier hits us with a minimum charge of £18 which we pass at cost. Unfortunately at the moment we have not been abe to find any other way of shipping these.

Drop me an email to ian.sheppard@springltd.co and we can get the ball rolling

Cheers

They probably just look at it, give it a clean and take your money.  ::)roll

You would think for extortionate prices they charge they would chuck the service (whatever the hell there is to service on a reel ) in for free, i wouldnt give them another penny.

Everthings a massive rip off in this game, I can’t believe the price of xtreme poles now.

Yes, I know we can all afford it, before anyone pipes up about that, the point still remains, it’s all a rip off.

I could do with a new fob for my WFP link, over £100! For a fob!

I’m in the market for a new Electric reel, but gonna wait till Black Friday. My current one if knackered.


Hi Zesty. A replacement WFPL Fob are currently £68 + VAT and shipping. The Fobs are made in the UK and have a 2 year warranty.  The Fob also has to meet UKCA and CE radio transmission regulations and these days we have to account for recycling regulations

Drop me an email and lets see what we can do

Cheers

Thanks Ian.

The battery on my fob isn’t lasting these days - I haven’t been able to find them for that price, can I buy direct from you?

Always used to love a roasting Bovril at halftime when watching football. Not been for decades now and don't know if they still sell the stuff.
