Hi all
as Turbo Terry is unbeatable using a squeege and no doubt  it will stay that way, has anyone thought of speaking to guinness world records on how to attempt a WORLD WFP RECORD.
Will terry be world record holder at this as well i look forward an attemp being devised.
REAH.

Turbo Terry is only quick on a clean window....
Let him race me on a double 16 at banstead hospital!!!
I watched him at the cleaning show and it wasnt exactly hard to clean a clean window!!!

[Duke]

ooh, that's fighting talk....lol

[rosskesava]

No..........  Jadecleaning's point is not a basis for an arguement.

Mearly an observation.

Wanna argue about it?

jade,did you have a go at the cleaning show,say sorry to Terry
hes like a fairground boxing champ,someday he will be beaten
{younger whippersnappers} but for his record it will stand for a long time,maybe for ever,and good luck to him.I learned how to do it,now I can afford jam on my bread as well, Ilost a days pay to go to the show ,petrol money  and food but Ive made up for it by being faster meaner and leaner watchout Terry  Im coming to get you ,and take you to a bar and buy you a drink Thanks again Terry for putting more money in my pocket. NOW SEE jADE THATS WHAT YOU SHOULD AVE WRITTEN

Terry "TURBO" Burrows didn't earn that title for nothing, and he has held it for so long that even when he's too old and feeble to grip a squeegee (and this is the only time when some young whippersnapper will take the title) he'll always be remembered as the world's fastest window cleaner.



Not only that, but Terry doesn't just sit around and wallow in Hero worship, he actually uses his skill to promote the window cleaning industry generally and gets involved in all kinds of Local and National events.

When a radio station wants to do something about window cleaning, they call Terry Burrows.  When there's a TV item about window cleaning, it's usually Terry.

When the founder of the Guinness Book of Records died last year, Terry was invited to the memorial service.

Terry is an ambassador for the window cleaner that I think we can be genuinely glad we have.  My hat is off to the Guy.

If i remember correctly Terry started the record cleaning thing.

Rather than an ambassador, to non window cleaners he's a figure of fun.

Sorry for the honesty!!

[gaza]

you naughty bear,you will still be eating cheap porrige,while were eating a full English Breakfast because terrys system of cleaning is far faster,its  like everything once you get the rythem its easy

[The Bear]

It is faster, all credit to Terry.

I applaud him with both paws.

When non window cleaners think of window cleaners two things come up, George Formby and Terry "Turbo" Burrows.

Sorry but I dont see the relevance of a speed record, cleaning clean windows.

[Terry_Burrows]

  well good evening all!thank you for kind words,but the way of 2 handed cleaning,is not just about world records,try it yourselfs,you will see it saves you loads of time,this is the way it all started,do a time and motion study,trust me it works there will allways be fun behind any world record,have fun be happy thats my motto,cheers again for all your support I will go on doing what I do,till I cant suck air!,good luck to all in our Industry in what you do

[The Bear]

Hi Terry,

Please don’t take my comment as criticism, I can’t see how the two handed method works for every day use!

To take the dirt off the window, surely more “scrub” is required.

All the best, The Bear

[Terry_Burrows]

 ;)Trust me it does work,with dirty windows you would scrub more,but the norm like car showrooms its much faster to clean that way have a go

[D.Salkeld_Ltd]

Hi Folks,
I saw Terry at last years NFMWGC Trade Show, and he's quick!
I started to use his 2 handed method, takes a bit of getting the hang of (a bit like 15 years ago when I got the hang of using a squeegee properly).
No good for all windows, you would be totally contravining the Working at Height Regs on upstairs!!
But Shops Patios and large downstairs I can do a1/3 faster.

I havn't got the gutts to chalange him though!!!

Thanks Terry.

[Terry_Burrows]

  nice to see I am doing something right then! the way of the squeegee

[john meehan]

terry your record is about to go and i intend to do it and bring it to northern ireland sorry about this mate but thats how things are happy cleaning john

[Terry_Burrows]

 ;)Dear John,I took it from Ireland,and you aint getting it back

[john meehan]

well see

[rosskesava]

I could actually beat both of you but being the kind hearted person I am, I wouldn't want to show either of you up.

 

In my dreams that is......

[john meehan]

rosskesava is that a hearse you use for your window cleaning service

[rosskesava]

Hi john meehan

Yup

It is a hearse. It still has all the decking and the rollers for the coffins.

It's an 1982 Mk 6 Granada converted and lengthened by a company called Colman Milnes.

2.8ltr fuel injected with hydraulic suspension. Drives like a dream apart from going around corners. The lock is cr*p.

It's a bit hard to get spares for though but it takes all our stuff and get's us noticed and as a result, gets us business.

It makes being a window cleaner something a bit different.

Cheers
