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!

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.

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!)
