I have been reliably informed that there is a rumour going around at the moment that I am recieving commissions or kickbacks for the products that I use and endorse in demonstrations.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
I buy all my own tools and equipment from various suppliers for which I get a slight discount as I am in the trade but no more than any other tradesman gets.
The only exception is Ubeaut where I sometimes get the ex-demo Shellawax, EEE etc but most of that is given to Forumites as well.
I have tested a lot of goods for manufacturers with a view that my input has improved the product.
The same goes for suppliers. If I get good service or they supply what I use then I pass that on as well.
I prefer to buy my own stuff so that I can give an unbiased opinion on it and my reputation and integrity is based on that.
If i think that something is crap, I say so and why.
I hope that this sets the record straight.
