Who "invented" water fed pole
« on: October 15, 2010, 09:44:32 am »
Spend most of the day yesterday WFP'oling and didnt need ladders till late afternoon. (did that bungalow Gav ... u know the one Im talking about  :) ... must have 50 - 60 panes of glass )

So as I find WFP  dead boring compared to risking my life on a ladder  ;)  my mind started to wander and got thinking who and when did someone make the connection between using pure water to clean windows and who first thought of an extendable pole ?

Went on an Ionics course late last year and the bloke in charge (Craig I think) mentioned Tucker poles from the USA.

Maybe a bit of an anorakish thought like I said my mind wanders
