I still love trad, i think people have jumped on the trad bashing band wagon a bit much, trad is dangerous, but i only evr felt uncomfortable on one or two climbs, and i didnt do them on my own, or brought an extension pole, wfp is necessary now, and is quicker when used properly, however i find it more monotonous and boring, and dont get the same satisfaction out of my job, might just be me though :)But still being quicker is what its all about, but i dont agree with people who start slating it just cos they got wfp, what they gonna do in a hose pipe ban? Stop work?

I checked both wfp & trad but its not 50/50 more like 80/20 in favour wfp 1.5 days a week I do the shops in town and its easier to trad them (all being ground floor)

WFP, except for 3 jobs.
It's a case of using the most appropriate method, taking into account safety, [of others as well as the operator], access, efficiency, convenience and time.

70% wfp.

I trad most downstairs windows as I still really enjoy working with trad tools. Going wfp was first and foremost a health & safety choice for me

The fact that I can now cover all my work on time and thus earn a bit more is a bonus

I know, its funny in most of these trad v wfp topics people slate the other tool, but on here it appears not many are 100% either, and many still say they miss trad! theres something about trad i really enjoy..Maybe in a few years ill feel same about wfp as im still getting used to it, and i hated trad at first because it felt like hard work till you get in the swing of it, done trad today and did 8 hours and knocked out my best trad day for a long time, but ran out of day, could of gone on for hours:)

i enjoy trad but not the climbing aspect..... i generally do most of my day trad on the A ladder because it works better me on that and the other guy on the pole, but i enjoy the changing around throughout the day...

i have to admit it was for safety for me aswell, i was stupidly fast trad (to a dangerous point) it was only a matter of time before i slipped up...  i can do the bottoms trad faster than the other guy doing tops wfp bearing in mind there is generally more windows on the bottoms....   i just slow down and collect the monies as were going around to fall behind a little...  SAFETY
