Wonder week for Window Man!

25th August 2009

Phew, it’s been hectic! The duck race at Roughlee went brilliantly, I arrived there fully suited and booted, yet ended up in a yellow poncho and hat, looking like a duck! On the day, the weather was OK and I was put on a trike and driven me through a little village to where the duck race was to begin! There were about 300 people in attendance and 600 ducks taking part, and I set the yellow balloons off to start the race. Then, as the ducks started bobbing away, I ran down the side of the river, with literally a running commentary! From there I returned up to the local village hall, where there was barbecue, copious amounts of booze, I did a bit of a speech, then the raffle, and a spot of stand-up (I was brilliant an’ all!).

I finally got the phone call last week that the duck race raised £1180, which is a record! It really was a fantastic event! There was one particular man there, a mature fellow, who said to me, “I had reservations about coming tonight, because all I see of thee is shouting, but tonight you’ve thoroughly entertained me and made me laugh! And not a single swearword!” How’s that for praise?! I was a bit giddy on my way home in the taxi!

On my usual visits around the country for Safestyle UK, I went to see the lads at Manchester, Stoke, Wolverhampton and Blackburn. Like everyone at Safestyle, they’re on a mission to rid the world of draughty, leaky, rotten and even infested windows - sending out the message about Safestyle energy saving windows, the very cutting edge of double glazing technology!

When Wednesday came, it was Burnley vs Man Utd, and I’d been looking forward to this ever since Burnley were promoted into the Premiership and this fixture was announced! I was compere at the European suite of Burnley, while we witnessed our little old Burnley, my small team, beat the mighty Manchester Utd, 1-0! The wonder strike was scored by ex-Bradford City player, Robbie Blake - a class act!

And to cap a wonderful week off, on Sunday I was compere again when we played Everton FC, and we beat them 1-0 too! The coincidence is that in both games the opposing team missed a penalty! And, as we left the football ground to celebrate, a cheer was heard, and when we asked someone, we found out that England had regained the Ashes! Priceless!

What a great week that was!

Yours over the moon,
Safestyle Window Man Jeff
