This forum never ceases to amaze with the idiotic comments.
Of all the people who could be considered takers… mark munro LOL! The guy literally got off his backside and using his own time, money effort and massive risk created an entire exhibition from nothing which filled a niche perfectly.
And then, continued to do it every year, growing it, organising it, planning it etc. for the massive benefit of the window cleaning industry.
Sorry Mark, it’s just not enough. You must also be on here every day helping everyone with what pole hose to buy and brush heads. You just can’t make this stuff up!
I go to this show every year, and always find something highly useful and interesting, not to mention catch up on what’s happening. And it’s also the ONLY show you can bring kids too, so we can go without missing out on time with my daughter, and she is at an age where she finds it all fascinating and exciting.
Mark, I feel like I need to apologise in behalf of the morons on here. But please be assured there are many, many of us who are not morons and genuinely appreciate the work and effort that you have put in over the years and continue to do.
Keep up the good work, and please ignore the absolute cakes who think you should be dispensing daily advice on here instead of organising the most useful show in the industry.
I agree but it's only splash and dash that's having a dig. No one else is slagging him off....

... because a complex oil drilling platform cutting miles through sea, rock and the Earth's crust to a pressurised sea of oil and gas in the elements of the North Sea is going to have the same corrosion and degredation in 7 years as your electric reel has while sat in a van for 24 hours, eh Scottish?
It works for me, after 18 years my van is still going and hope my new reels last as long. I now have everything I need after 7 years as a window cleaner so hopefully no outgoings in the future and I can save up for a new van.
Scottish - my van is 14 years old, my Claber reels and pumps about 7.
I don't intend buying another van.
It's the youngest vehicle I've got.
You will need to replace your Xtremes though.
New Reels.
What a mess! I'd hate to have such an untidy van as yours but as long as you know where everything is!🤣

You are spot on. This is the downside of taking on too much different work. Hopefully when I get a new van I will keep it tidy.
