No thats him on the ladder

[Moderator David@stives]

No I used to do the one legged over sloping roofs.

those were the days

[dazmond]

what a stupid way to clean a window!ive never done that in 16 years of trad window cleaning!!

i used to wedge the ladder just above the top window which IMO is much safer as it also makes the ladder less likely to slip out as well!

youre wrong there Daz, hes got the ladder cornered so it is far safer ,cant slip sideways,and i have never known the ladder slip back like that

[Dean Taberner]

I cant believe his mate isnt at least holding the ladder.

[LQQK]

He his, his own 

[dazmond]

i dont agree with you stan!no way is that safer than wedging it under the gutter in the middle of the window he s cleaning!

stan do you still climb ladders with mop and squeegee in hand rather than a b.o.a.b?thats nice and safe innit?

i dont care anyway as i wfp all top windows now apart from my block of granny flats!!

[Chris Cottrell]
