I swing both ways.

Old (s) lags tend to swing both ways.

Having made a living doing it the hard way for many years, I have been more than happy to embrace wfp.

There is a part of me that understands how to make a living the hard way, and even a bit that is willing to admit that wfp finish is not as reliable as trad, but, for anybody who understands "cleaning" wfp simply makes it easier to make a living.

Start up costs are now higher, but there is still an oportunity for hard up, hard working men to get earning, with a bucket of soapy water, some cloths and a ladder ( i didn't even have a ladder when I started). For me wfp is a no brainer, but I won't ever knock a fella who has a soapy cloth in his hand.

What else can I rant about....... :D
