They need a committee. 

[james roffey]

Andrew we live in a democracy, you have a choice, we have a choice.

I chose to join TACCA because it benefits me and my business at no cost whatsoever, if at a later date it cost me to remain a member it is my choice again, i choose to be a member of the NCCA that does cost me but i choose to be a member. you say we are critical of you, its probably because you are you only one who fails to grasp what is obvious to the rest of us, no one is being made to do anything against there will.

If someone takes the time and trouble and the expense to do this then good luck, i dont give a flying .... what the motives for doing it are because if i am unhappy at any time I LEAVE thats democracy at work in TACCA as far as i am concerned.

To me it seems something worth being part of, its a shame you cant see that.

Yep and your the only one using a false name 

But we know who you are bronze

Good Evening, One of the lads that works for me comes on here often and was running on about this post today,so i thought id have a look. It took me back to the days when i attended the odd cc event. An industry which know accounts for less than 5% of our turnover. Iv listed a few things which can be guaranteed at any gathering of fellow carpet cleaners,from my experience.

1.80-90% of people will be dressed very badly.
2.There will be a "joke" that is repeated and referred to constantly throughout the day
3.Someone will turn up in a half tidy car,which will be gathered around at breaktime.
4.People will tell borrowed stories about kittens going up hoses.,and cat wee.
5.Some whoppers will be told about daily takings,usually from the guys that arnt vat reg.
6.There will be a handful of decent blokes there,but will have to "leave early"
7.There will be a reasonable looking secretary or PA hanging about,grimacing....
8.There will be the guy who will drink too much because he dosnt get out much.
9.There will however be one nugget of information thats usefull...its just finding it.
10. I wish the guys that have worked hard on it all the best

regards

Ian.

that sounds better than my actual write up.  

ps... can i be excluded from the "decent guy leaving early" bit, as i have to stay to the end to clean up number 8, luckily i know a good carpet cleaner in my area, he's not cheap though, are you paul?.

[joe brown]

All the best with it Derek, just my observations from years gone by. Strangely no ones denying any of it yet....

cheers

Ian

[Paul Moss]

I think its been a while since Ian  has been to one of these 

[joe brown]

About 5 years Paul,all im commenting on is how i found them and what i saw. I though that was the whole point of the thread??

9.There will however be one nugget of information thats usefull...its just finding it.

And that ONE reason alone makes it worth going for me!

See you in April

Saying anything negative or putting own opinions on here is deemed to be causing trouble 

But of course Mr P Moss would know all about that 

Once again, I do hope TACCA succeeds but under a proper democratic leadership 

Oh do shut up about democracy, will you?
The fact is that 100% of the membership of TACCA voted with their feet to become members, if that's not democracy in action, I don't know what is. So if you have a grain of respect for the notion of democracy, you'd e the first to take your hat off to that simple fact.
