;) ;)Hi guys girls :o ::) I always get asked quite a lot about the world record ??? and what is it :-/how do you do it :-/ ??? etc!well you can see it with your own eyes on Blue peter this friday at 5,I was on there some 5 years ago,I did break my record on TV with them,well they called me again and I will be going for it on friday :o ::),so you can see how hard this is,I was in manchester last saturday,and in practice I beat my record, ;D when the time come to do this,I failed :( :P :-[ :'(,I will have just about one second to play with
the record is to clean 3 windows that measure
45 inches by 45 you use a 12 inch squee gee and you have to wipe a window sill clean,well we will see what happens on friday,break a leg as they say!lady luck I hope is with me :-/ ;)

;)its somewhere in me house! ??? you get silver ones now I am told ??? :P :-/ I will be getting picked up at 12 noon ;) I have got to rough it in some old merc ;)it will take about 1 half hours to get there, ???Andrew Lee from the federation will be on the show with me, ::)as you know he is on the commitee as well,there will be a Guinness rep to ;D ;)
for those who dont know the time to beat, :P
I will have to clean 3 windows that measure
45 inches by 45 and wipe a window sill in just
9.91 seconds :o the sad part,I did beat my record in practice last saturday,I was some 35 seconds faster than 3 years ago ;) I going to buy a rabbits foot ;D
well my fate will be seen after 5 tonight,I goona get me some red bull! perk me up some,not a great time for me to go for it,as your body clock starts to wind down, ;)
still got the day off,relax and some practice think about tonight ;)see you all later,fellow shinners ;)

I'm fascinated to see this mop and squeegee simultaneously technique Terry, I used to know another window cleaner who apparently used it, and he was very fast! (But he was also Hyper, all the time, with no pauses for breath)
We're all rooting for you mate!

Do u have to wipe just 1 sill or all 3?
-
Good luck Terry
break a leg sound fine just dont break a window!!!!
best regarsds Nick
-
;)how it works is,there is one long sill so you put your
squee gee on it,and run like grazy! ;D this always takes me one second,its the windows I must finish around
8.30 seconds will be good ;) or faster,this is very hard to beat,but I know I can do it, ;)
-
I think your record is under threat Terry. :(
Some of the cleaners on this site could break it, if they had to do 3 bathroom windows. ;D
Just stand there, look at them and say I don`t do them or I`ll do them next time. Stop the clock and Robert`s your Dads brother, you`re the world record holder. ;D
Good luck anyway,
Gerry.

Good Luck Terry

Unlucky mate
but i nearly blinked and missed it :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

It was very close!
The girl from Blue Peter timed it at 9.9 seconds and the Guinness adjudicator had 9.89 but that naughty Andrew Lee from the Fed gave two penalties, which added on one second.
Don't worry Terry - put out the word and we'll get someone to nobble him at the Fed Show ;)
-
Never mind Terry!
(Still cant believe how fast it was!)
Was that girl sharing your red bull too, she was absolutely hyper!
I think it must've been all the screaming kids that put you off. (They put me off, and I was just drinkin my tea!)

Hi Terry,
