I think some of the really old w/c only go out for the coffee and bics, a chat, some pocket money and to get out of the house ;D

i know a couple of older guys who still use leather and scrim, and looking at their work you can really see it gleaming. knowing how to use them properly is a real advantage especially if you are working inside, plus, you end up with arms like popeye ;D
service with a shine !

Would this be in Coventry at all?

A custy I quoted a conservatory clean for on Saturday told me
her w/c still uses a shammie and leaves the windows worse
than when he started.
