I bought some poles off Pure Freedom years and years ago. They were a joke (I bought a crap one and a longer crap one!)
Since then I think its all the tons of small crap I have bought, that all ads up, that have taken my money.
I have bought every single 'on and off tap device' available. More brushes than I can imagine. Hose coming out my ears. Gadget, gizmos and add ons. To be honest, I loved buying them all
Now I have learned that less is more.
Keep it simple.
I still fancy some new pole hose though.
It's addictive isn't it?
