Could we just not have done with it and have a quarantine area just for the untouchables...they spread disease and I'm assured they can make you willy turn green just by looking at you 'funny' thats what my mate down the pub said and he's normally on the button.. :o

Oh and while were at it...could we include gingers, jocks and anyone with a goatee?

Well, your appeal worked, eh John  ;D.
The thing is, it`s only window cleaners talking about other window cleaners, so why worry?
We`re all at the lower end of society, so don`t bother if some think they are a bit better; they`re still at the bottom with you.

Don't let it bother you John. When the wfp boys try to put us trads down, they are only giving it large about themselves because they are so insecure, and want us to feel the same way.

Just have a chuckle to yourself and tell yourself that you are a happy tradder, and those who denigrate us do so because they are unhappy with their lot. They are to be much pitied, my friend.

John.

Dont take offence mate, most of us REAL window cleaners started trad, i was for over 5 years and proud of it.

At the end of the day we all just clean dirty windows  ;D

Thing is, I know this post is jovial (I think), But most of the WFP guys were actually trad cleaners for years, myself for 17 years before we started to work using WFP. It would therefore make sense, good common sense for any trad guy thinking of going WFP to listen to the experience of the guy's who have actually done the job both ways. Surely we can not all possibly be lying or wrong. Having done the job using both methods surely gives the trad turned WFP guy knowledge and experience the trad guy's just do not have.

I lost about £8-900 over 2 years, so it wasnt a massive loss. Some of these wfp with expensive van mounts, super delux trolleys and £3-400 poles have a lot more to lose. So i think they just carry on but would love to go back to trad, if they were offered all there money back. i think there is another guy on here who switched back to trad

'would love to go back to trad if they were offered their money back'???? Now that wins the prize for the funniest comment on this whole thread!  ;D
actually, you may have a point, I'm fed up with earning more money, working shorter hours, and business growing at a much faster rate than before!

I do very well cleaning trad style. Not only do I earn money but I get my weekly disability allowance, my rent is paid for me and my poll tax is £1 a week. Plus I get an allowance for my car which I use to window clean anyway and on top of that, I've got a blue badge so I can park where I want.

At the end of a hard days work I go home and use my DSS paid for walk in shower.
