Hi All,

Hope you all had a good Bank Holiday

I was out and about in the sunshine, and thought you may be interested in my street set up, so here are a few pics

If anyone would like more details about my menu board, I would be happy to show you :)
Kind regards
Kevin

Hi Kevin, Do you twist sitting down? If so is the McPump difficult to use with a sideways motion rather than from a vertical push down.

PS, it all looks very professional, lightweight chair, bag stand and menu board and nicely covered pump.

I was going to ask the same about sitting down, I don't think I could ever twist sitting down, it all looks very professional tho :D

When I am out for a long day, generally a 5 hour stint, I find it far less of a strain sitting down, so this is the set up I use.

I don't find the Mac pump too awkward to use sitting down, although admitidly it is not as easy as standing.

One other advantage of sitting down, is that it makes me more approachable for children. I am quite tall, with a bit of a bizarre crazy look, which can be a little intimidating, so being seated is more comfortable for me on a long day, and puts me more at the same level as the kids

The same reason Santa is always seated.....and we are both about the same age !!!!!
Kind regards

We all have our cross to bear, but some of us need more wood than others!

I virtually always twist sitting down. I agree, being on the kids' level makes me more approachable.

Hi Kevin,

I know this post goes back to earlier this year, but I have the chance of being able to "stand" at and in a wedding store  and at a market on a weekend to advertise my services with balloon decoration/and twisted decor..
so as an added attraction and to improve my skills thought I would twist for "folks" whilst I was there (gets the peeps to look at my services whilst the children get the products and helps me do/practise "Line work"...)

So I would appreciate more details on your street set up and especially the menu board and bag stand /setup (helps save me explaining that the child's request would take too long) ......

If it doesn't put you out too much..

Cheers ;)
