Windex, not for me!!!
« on: March 27, 2008, 08:23:30 am »
I know this is probably controversial but what the heck!

The thought of spending 2 days talking to other window cleaners about the size of their poles fills me with complete dread. Why would you want to do it? I just don't get it. Have we got nothing better to do with our time!

Well, thats the blue touch paper lit, off to work now to earn some money!!

I got offered a free ticket to go, and I would still rather go to the Dentist.....mind you, she does have some rather nice appendages on which to rest my head during her works....

I was hoping to get there this time, but I can't make it. :(

It's good to see what's new and what's coming up.  And maybe swing a pole to feel it's weight before buying

Which is precisely why I won't be there until late Friday morning - and even then only dropping in for a while on my way to a short holiday.  I do like the social aspect of it too though.  You can talk about things other than work you know - REALLY interesting stuff  like train spotting or how long it takes for paint to dry.

Busted!!

The reason I waited till Windex started was to avoid the flak from all those devotees out there.
They'll be just leaving in their Anoeraks now talking to each other about the benefits of hot water systems &  how they've Networked.

Saddoes!!!!! ::) ::) ::)

Luke , if you're going to the show tomorrow can you find out if Ionics are selling the new 'fold up', compact, version of the gutter vacuum cleaner (upkeeper (American equivalent) I believe it is. Also how much they are selling it for. Thanks.

Hi guys

I am a CCer and also organising the CCDO (carpet cleaners day out) which is a series of technical and practical workshops on the day to day beingof a carpet cleaner. Take a look at sticky at top for agenda to see subject matter covered.

The sessions are being run by highly respected members of the forum and industry

Many CCs are bored stiff of carpex which is why they are coming to this. We only starting organising 2 Months ago and we have 60 delegates attending and the editor of cleaning matters is reporting on the event and we have 6 suppliers attending (but no hard selling)

We are already arranging next years event and a couple of people have suggested involving you guys. Not sure if it is something you feel you might get benefit from if a similar set of sessions were done to cover your industry.

Any thoughts?

Pete

Luke that's the one. The Americans have a new fold up version of this. I have bought some stuff from America before but customs & postage works out expensive. Just wondering if Ionics will be selling the new, fold up version and if so, how much.

didnt spot anything about electric reels but did see a rewinding reel (a little like a dog lead that winds back in) shame it was standard hose though.
