wise decision, see fail to see any benefit they give the industry apart from being an unelected spokesman.

Toothless perhaps

I never realise that you had to be member to buy supplys from them, I knew they would only supply items with fed logo's on to fed members.

How about some bussines minded supplier out there marketing items like cones and signs purpose printed for window cleaning as all I can see (apart from fed) are caution wet or slippery surface... good but would look better with "Caution windowcleaning in progress" or along those lines...

If you could prove you were in buisness they would sell to you,as i was passing by i thought id call in for a furkin squeege, but i got furked off, unless she thought, that fat basket could not possibly be a window cleaner

what a load of old tosh

This is quite a reasonable phrase.  But euphimistically adjusting swear words isn't generally acceptable in a forum.
