Hi Guys
I dont think it is fair to publish the web address of BSF, if he does not want
to show it .

Hi
Have checked out your website myself. You seem to have a welll established business, have you been trading long? any advice you can give on the wpf systems? i have not branched into that area yet but it looks the way to go with the new health and safety laws. Do you find it a very competetive market.

Thanks
Karl

Hi Karl
We have been trading for 25 years, we started out as a window cleaning company and then got involved in daily office cleaning.

Ten years ago we gave up on office cleaning ( due to the low rates that
were being quoted ) and now only offer window cleaning services.

So wfp is a profitable service if you can get the right contracts. Could is ask where you buy your equipment from?

Thanks

Yes I thought that. he knows his stuff when it comes to web design, can't argue with him on that.

If thats a compliment,, gee thanks!

My website still states we do domestic cleaning as it needs updating, I studied and passed exams to qualify as a webmaster, I dont use web design programmes as I write the sites I have built from scratch using hyper text markup language (this is what all sites are written with) I am no designer,  I make more money from supplying cleaning services.
 I really do hate my site, but haven’t got the time to re-write it.

So I am in the process of employing a company to do it for me, I will still maintain/amend it myself though.

This isn’t the reason for hiding my profile, as I have said a lot of information can be sourced from a company’s details.

Regards ;D

As much as you can get away with, if its a takeover of contract, you would need to try and find out what the other company has been charging, their are ways to do this!

If you charm the decision maker enough, you might get away with charging a bit more ;D

I think you might be thinking of the life guards & blues and royals,  same thing but they ride horses :(

I'm scared of horses ;D

Sorry if no one no’s what I’m on about, heres a bit of info to make it a bit clearer: I was on, combat vehicle reconnaissance tracked (cvrt)  

Tankies are a main battle tank regiment (mbt), our role was to go behind enemy lines to gather information about the enemy, then pass this on to the big guns,

They would then go in and use their 120mm rounds which could be…. heat (high explosive anti tank) heap (high explosive armoured piercing) hesh (high explosive squash head)

If this didn’t work I would have to use the Nilco which all CVRT’s are equipped with, but this was the last resort, the Geneva convention actually banned these because of their sheer power, I have post traumatic stress disorder from when I attacked the enemy with my nilco, you should have seen the size of the mark on his neck, it knocked me sick :o

I'm pulling your leg, blues and royals & life guards (household cavalry) are armoured regiment's, but one unit of each is an armoured regiment, the second unit of each is the household cavalry mounted regiment, these do the ceremonial duties, its a dead easy job they only work on the queens birthday, but they do like horses ;D ;D alot...

All armoured regiments were once on horse back...  but only the elite use the Nilco's (me!).

I can change a bag with my eyes shut in four seconds :o
