Its pretty real to me. Use it every day unless I'm imagining it
Harris is a pole for 15.00 from B&Q not quite what we are looking for.
snobbery eh! cant see the problem harris for me aswell just because its only £15
its been designed as a decorators pole to paint at height with a roller which is more
or less the same action as we use with a brush,
its light long lasting and if you undo the clamps when you buy it and put a single wrap
of pvc tape round the claws the clamps dont wear either i use a fibre glass extension
to get me to 3rd floor.
£15 makes it the bargain of the century for knock about pole for basic work.
i wonder do you have sponsors to satisfy by any chance
