I still visit and read on here, but there is so much boasting about ripping people off I'm just not interested anymore.
And probably most reading will say, "good!"


For you newer boys - my profile posting amount is about 25% what it should be because I've had at least 4 identity changes

I get time's like that on hear not post much sometime's.

I think its because most of the posts that come up have already come up numerous time's before.

[Chris Galloway]

Its the same on all other forums ive been members or moderator or admin of.

You get to a point where its the same topic being brought up time and agian over the months.

You just dont find it worth contributing because you have done so already.. Its just natural progression.

[Trotsky]

Your not alone, I have only just come back (less than a week!) hardly ever go on my other forums as you say... it's all been said!
However sometimes I get a good snip-it of information, and the occasional laugh!

I find the hardest thing to handle is the terrible spelling (what with spell-check and all!)
anyhow thats just me!

Because nothing new (or of interest) is being posted, some people are posting 'any old thing' just to fill their time.

[collins82002]

I think that the above statements are slightly wrong cause i'm new on here and to W/C and want to find info out to make my business a success so i'm might ask questions that have came up in the past.  So if you dont know the answer to a problem isn't it better to ask people who have experience and the answer to your problems??

Totally agree with you PJ
too many people on this forum boasting about thier earnings
(telling porky pies most of them)

and far too much back stabbing

hardly seems worth the effort anymore,

i do come back from time to time just to see what's going on

here's a classic example  http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=61146.0
infact that was when i made my last post

PJ,

I agree with the 'boasting' bit; my DIY pole post was in retaliation to some 'pole snobbery' I've experienced.

And then there's a certain amount of van snobbery, system snobbery, turn-over snobbery; and probably other sorts of snobbery too (and I always have disliked 'working-class snobs')... and I definately don't believe everything I read on this forum; but than again I never have.

But this site has always been like this; ever since I've been a member, and I was pretty much in the first fifty members to join.

I'm also not sure about the 'ripping people off' bit of your post though.  If a job is quoted for and done to the required standard, and then payment is made, I can't see how anyone's getting ripped off.

My best job pays a lot, for a little bit of work, but prior to WFP it used to take two-of-us two-and-a-half hours to hand-bash lots of leaded windows.  The job was so tough work, it was actually given to me by another window cleaner.  But now, I can do the same job - by myself - in under an hour-and-a-half; yet I still charge the same money.  Is anyone getting ripped off?

And of course old topics will get re-asked and re-hashed; but each time a new member may give a slightly different piece of advice; and as kit and equipment evolves; that may differ from the original question.

PJ,

Maybe you're turning into a 'gumpier old man' than you used to be?  

[Pj]

Yes you're probably right.

I'll go back in my shell now.

Your first word should be spelt "you're" not "your"

[AuRavelling79]

And snip-it should be snippet!

[geefree]

I think all the information is here within the search options, but looking for it ,... is a pain.. and like someone said.. it may be out of date.

also, again with new people joining and new views, i always find each topic interesting... even if i have no imput.. or it does not help, or concern me...

its an interesting read about how we are all doing.

Now thats what I like... you're both right of course!
Spell check doesn't always when using the wrong words.
Notice I have used the right you're not your this time. : : :

Sorry if I offended anyone I was only joking, dry sense of humor, or so I'm told!

[William Tyndale]

I'm with PJ. There is alot of dross.

I was first on here just after Tosh and have had more regenerations than Dr Who.

It's not the same but there are more opinions so I guess thats inevitable.
