Not the same video I saw but its the same pole , what a monster banana , i know its 10 minutes of yer life but it wont be a waste just to see Perry grunt and groan , trap his fingers , and get himself  confused about which pole pack he needs to add next , the guy is a diamond

And you get to give the brick work a good brushing before he gets to the top windows 😂😂😂

This was put on the forum back in 2015

Click down for the comment Clever Forum Name made. It still makes me laugh when I think about it.

Now that was a whitty remark , but it will be the makings of a real heavy bendy pole .
The thing that annoys me most is the fact that Perry obviously has massive finance and or backing at his disposal and he P's it up the wall so to speak on tat , I mean , I have come up with a few bits of DIY poope over the years on here but have seen early on that it will be no more use than a concrete glider 

P.S  Whatever became of Ritchie Wilts ?

I'm still confused why he even bothered getting the overlap part of the pole sections out first, only to fully extend them anyway. Never mind all the other faffing.  That part just seemed even more pointless

Why do we always end up discussing criminality when Perry is mentioned  ??

I asked myself the same question when I looked back at the postings on that thread.

Its sad how so many come, stay a while and then disappear.

Our neighbour is into waste management. He is a middle man. He subcontracts everything out. He doesn't touch a thing. Seems to earn a good living out of it and has plenty of time to surf whilst his wife stays at home, answers the phone and does the books.

Yet trying to be a broker between window cleaners and customers doesn't work. I still don't understand why his customers don't go direct to the waste carriers.  I've asked him the same question - he just says that there is so much legislation and regulation that most companies want to delegate that responsibility.

High Five for that one.

Thing is there's that many mugs who buy all this overpriced, unnecessary crap.

Trolleys for a grand, brushes for 300 quid the list goes on.

Too many treat this as a hobby

I’ve said this same thing many times, there are a lot of window cleaners who have no hobbies, so they get really into window cleaning, they buy all the new rubbish, they make videos on YouTube (usually extremely amateurish) .

They get excited far too easily and buy anything new and shiny, they then put a review in YouTube, this makes them feel secure and gives them self worth. They then repeat this again and again.

Meanwhile, there are loads and loads of window cleaners making very good money, enjoying life with just a Gardiner pole, Gardiner brush and a pure water system. Simple!

Couldn't agree more with the above. I used to tinker and try to improve things or make them look better when I started. Now I just have the most basic of set ups that works faultlessly. But apparently its "uninspiring "

Thats an interesting point. Never thought of it like that. I guess that means I have a fulfilling, satisfying life

Was that a dig at my vids 🙄😂😂
Just a basic review as a number of my subscribers have asked me to do so, esp on the spray bar.
Yep, mine are very amateurish as I ain't got time or effort to go to town on them. Which may be the case with others, but who knows.   I've more important things to be concentrating on but they are a good distraction from the stressful things in life.

Reach it        certainly doe reach it, as far as the imagination goes anyway 😂 think its mostly the Americans who lap it all up

Nah, it’s not a dig at your reveiw Nathan. Only you know why you make videos  and some videos genuinely are helpful!

BUT... there are people you can see right through, and they (unfortunately) feel the need to post videos and the like for self worth.

Nothing wrong with the odd helpful video mate

You just get these window cleaner hobbiests who seem to be a bit obsessed with there job and latest gimmicks, to them, I say, there’s more to life 


Then again, if it makes em happy, so be it I suppose!

Maybe try putting up amateur reveiws and homemade videos slacky? 

It might make you feel good, untill someone leaves a negative comment in the comments 

 

[Slacky]

I honestly dont get why people want to put up videos of themselves with their cleaning gear/van/washing a window.

I bet you dont get videos of sparkies changing a fuse on Youtube to try to show his mates how feckin' good and smart his setup is.

[Slacky]

If I had a window cleaner setting up his camera to video himself whilst he was cleaning my house windows I would seriously question how balanced his mind was.

Really, especially if he was commentating whilst scrubbing the glass.


Some people are just seriously weird and detached from reality.
