| Two items on tonight's agenda.
Number one: for reasons not immediately clear, somebody arrived at Dayorama earlier today from the forum of the Scottish Licensed Window Cleaners' Network.
The network, or SLWCN for short, appears to be a group of Scottish window cleaners intent on providing a better service. Good on them. They've even supplied a page dedicated to explaining how the group came about. Here's an abridged version:
The first organisation to represent window cleaners throughout Great Britain was started in the late Forties and became known as the National Federation of Master Window Cleaners, then the National Federation of Master Window and General Cleaners and is now the Federation of Window Cleaners. Rightly or wrongly, it was perceived as being stuck in the past and not being proactive enough for some.
Some frustrated Federation members - along with window cleaners who would never have joined because of how they considered the “Fed” to be - decided to form the Association of Professional Window Cleaners.
As only Scottish councils license window cleaners at present, Tam Kay, who was involved in the preparatory days of the APWC, decided his efforts would be better directed in forming the Scottish Licensed Window Cleaners Network. It’s not part of FWC or APWC in any way.
It has to be said that the FWC certainly sharpened up their act in the months leading up to the APWC launch. The change of name and logo was already in the pipeline, but to accompany that, the members’ quarterly magazine – WindowTalk – was revamped with a more up to date style.
For the full version, and to find out more, click here. I'd have to register if I wanted to discover precisely which page refers to Dayorama but, with just 27 members at the time of writing, I'd feel a tad self-conscious doing so.
Second on the agenda are the many vacancies in the Doctor Who production offices at BBC Wales.
In an email circulated today, no fewer than seven job opportunities - working on the likes of Dr Who Confidential and Totally Dr Who - were announced.
Why have all these vacant posts suddenly appeared? Is there something slightly fishy going on in Cardiff? Have the Daleks exterminated the previous appointees, or should we be looking in the bowels of Torchwood for the unfortunate seven?
All highly suspicious. Still, you can imagine the horror for Amy J when it's announced the Dr Who offices are looking for new Tennants... |
