SInce there have been several posts about not being able to spot typos on things that we have written ourselves, I post the following for a bit of fun:

Olny srmat poelpe can raed tihs.
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty  uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig  to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

Like the site Derek

However with your statement about the power benefits of the T/M over the feeble porty user's, it might be a good idea to change the photo on your home page, where Joe Bloggs is clearly using a porty (can be seen in the background)  ;D

Like the site though, good luck.

This is hilarious :)

About half of the replies pointing out Derek's mistakes contain spelling and grammar mistakes themselves :D

Looks good though mate ;)

I've been a busy bee ;)

P.S. Your first sentence in the leather cleaning section, is really long and separated by lots of commas, instead of, splitting it up, into a few sentences, with full stops.  It doesn't read too well ;)

Derek,

On your web site you state.....20 TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN A PORTABLE SYSTEM.  The Prowler is a PORTABLE HWE SYSTEM.

Wouldn't worry about it, it's not you who's put them om there.

As for Lens stuff, I think every CC and his dog has those and I'm sure he doesn't mind so long as your not on his manor.  :)

OH DEAR,

DP Print & Design have been abit naughty i think.  They took it on themselves to go ahead & use someone elses advert/wording on Dereks website without asking for permission then when DP were confronted by the original carpet cleaner DP told him to damn OFF.   The point here is.... DP have used wording that was supplied to them in confidence to help with the design of leaflets/website.  DP are now openly supply other CCs with this wording.  VERY NAUGHTY.
