Hope you are well mate

You can just make out the phone number in the paper but only if you have good eye's but any advertising is good.

Yes in the national page 62.
But it does not say anything else but im happy just to get it there.

He he well it was only a matter of time.  ::)

Yes i know it was one of my customers as he has been saying for months he was going to take a pic of my van and send it off to the newspapers.

I just thought he was joking and laughed it off and didn't even know he took the pic.

I bet when i clean his windows next time he will come out with the paper.

    If you play this smart you could do all wfp cleaners a big favour, ring the mail tommorow and say that was my van etc, explain why you have ladders and how you clean windows and see if they will run an article about wfp cleaning in way of compensation for showing your phone number and all the daft calls you have subsequently received (even though you probably haven't) that have wasted your time.

Hi Marc

I have sent them an email a rather long email.

As it was a question they put in the papers.
I thought it only right for me to reply to it.

And explained about WFP the WAH directive and why i still had ladders on the roof.

I have had a few weido's on the phone today.
And guess what they said nearly all said the same.

Is that ladderless window cleaning.
To which i replied No

That seemed to have stopped them for a minute.

Then they would say what do you use the ladders for.

I then tell them that it will cost them £5 to find out.

I was going to ring the daily mail but was not sure which person on the list of many they had i should contact so i emailed them with the email address they had in the paper.

Use this to your advantage.
Call the paper and say it was your van that appeared in the paper, fancy doing an article on why it says ladderless.
Good for the wfp industry too. Spread the word.
