i suppose if even he had wfp he coudlnt be doing it when people are about - still safer than a ladder and a ledge tho!
what time of the day was it? is that the town centre?
im in glos and i find i have to do all my shops and pubs early, before too many people are about.
and before all the cowboy townies come out to work with there dirty tea towel. lol ;D

That ladder is well off the 1:4 ratio too. I've just tried to measure it with my ruler and I reckon the top of the ladder should be around where the window cleaner's shoulder is; but obviously it's not long enough to do that; hence the dodgy angle.
I don't think I know this window cleaner, Mike, does he do any work that you know of round the Chepstow area? He isn't the miserable sod in a beat up Mondeo who spends an-hour-per-window and also does gardening is he?

Looks to me as though the ladders are he wrong way round ???

Mike, he's one of the few window cleaners I avoid; he's a miserable git. He told me he cleans customer's windows as if they were his own. I said I do too. I go as quick as I can and do shoddy job at home also!
I've also watched him clean a window over a pitched roof before and he didn't look safe and he's to old to 'bounce'; but what struck me was the utter meticulous way he cleans them. He's there for ages on each window; it looks like torture he's that anal and laborious.
I take it the xmas trees this guy sells are found in the Forest of Dean and hacked down at the dead of night using a kitchen knife?
