 Was looking back at the early pages of the forum and some of the names that have dissapeard is quite sad, people who gave good advice, I think Mike Halliday is the only one who has given us his advice from day one on a regular basis, so are these lot still cleaning?- MARK BETTS, STEVE GUNN, HOLMANS UK,PAUL CHAMBERS, LEE GUNDRY and PHIL MARLOUR

where the money is most probably

[robert meldrum]

There are many others.......most are to be found elsewhere........some are possibly spending their time developing their businesses...........some got involved in arguments and moved sideways.........a few got older and retired.
Some have been swayed by personalities to follow other approaches only to discover there's nothing new and it's all been done before. Sometimes for decades.
This is still a good place

where the money is most probably

...and where is that...?

Steve Gunn is still going strong in the carpet cleaning world.
He did a job in my street not so long back (the cheek of it) operating from a truckmount.
Guess he's so busy he aint got time to come on here 

[Mike Halliday]

I think Mark betts became a photographer, phil I not sure. Steve is still a successful carpet cleaner and post now & again on the CCDO & truckmount forums.

I think people tend to get bored with the forums after a bit, they do tend to get repetitive with most question could be answered with the search function..

[md_cleaning]

I think you're right Mike, but asking the questions and getting everyone involved is better than doing a search and keeps the forum going and when you do search you somtimes have to trall through a load of drivel before you find your answer. I've been on a few carpet cleaning foums and have found this one to be the best, but never been on the truckmount one as i have an Alltec porty.
I know as has been said some people get the ump- Chris Straker being one, but he's still carpet cleaning I see him about on facebook.

[John Kelly]

Nick Holmans still going strong as well. They probably have better things to do than waste time on here.

[Ian Rochester]

I think Steve's still dumbstruck (and keyboard struck) that Sunderland managed to stay in the Premiership for another season  everyone else up here is!

If that doesn't get a reaction from him then he's probably dead!

[md_cleaning]

So only Mark Betts has changed jobs that we know of, but no news on some of them, Steve Gunn still seems to be pretty well known though lots of comments about him.

[Mark_Jubb]

Nick Holmans still going strong as well. They probably have better things to do than waste time on here.

Nick had the memorable signature of
"Good at Darts, carp at speling"

If they've got any sense they'll have broken the addiction.

[jasonl]

What about john from Wakefield, who bought his machine?

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Craig Partridge bought it but I think it's gone elsewhere again, last time I spoke to John he'd officially retired and moved to nearer Leeds.

How you going on with your van? one of my customers saw it when you must have been at your 'other' residence and thought I had expanded to 2 vans.

Shaun

[jasonl]

Van running great getting good economy out of  it , ill sitck your pic on it if you like Shaun.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Put a pic of my mother in law with the slogan "get your carpets cleaned or I'll send her round" should do well

Did you ever get a pressure washer?

Shaun

[Ian Gourlay]

I think carpet cleaning is a tribal thing.

I have observed it over the past ten years.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

More like Lemmings

Shaun

[clinton]

They might be asking the same questions in ten years

Where is derek and shaun an clinton

We could reply in our chairs with bad backs 

[Ian Gourlay]

Shaun has always been around he must have been 14 when he started
and one day I will spell his name right first time
