I really don`t care that there are still so many still using trad it`s their choice not to be able to give a full service to customers,all i know is that my customers are more than happy  ;)

And away we go  ;D

No lads, the question was, why are some guys still trad. Not look how great all the pole guys are. Try not to spend too much time on self praise. Pointing out how stupid anyone who works trad is. They don't bother WFP advanced clever multimillionares who bang out 400 a day yawn bore bore.

I love to see the pigeon chested guys on here preening themselves infront of their mirrors and forgetting that they are the bottom of the food chain when it comes to services!!! ;D ;D ;D

We clean windows lads. It's not high tech. Some can't provide a full service. They can't clean over a certain height where some others can. Some don't even know how to clean insides of windows.

WFP has caused loads of redundant workers to provide exactly the same service as the rest of us. So sit back, and watch your area get a bit smaller, and a bit smaller...............

My custies are all off back to UK in the next few years, so thank God I can provide another service like carpet & upholstery cleaning. Very lucrative and a lot better than Stan Ogden's old job. I've earned well from this malarky, but it's nearly time to go.
Never believed I'd hear from snobby window cleaners!! pmsl  ;D ;D ;D

I was born in Liverpool, grew up in Derby, and my parents were both English. I'm a ex soldier of 9 years service and live in Germany since 85. Speak fluent Kraut and have over 350 Brit custies. I'm not so thick to think that someone who lives in another country and writes English to a decent standard, would be anyone called Hitler.

Bet you feel a bit stupid now, so best edit your post eh?

im only interested in doing it the trad way .  i remember when i started up about 6 yrs ago now, i had enough money to start up wfp ,ten times over, but its not for me .

 i like the simple  efficient way of doing things , my workers feel the same way-iv heard them saying it .

 i would always buy the base model van rather than 1 with electric windows etc , less to go wrong
What a very small mind you have.

That's your fourth post. From all you've posted so far, 50% have made you look dumb. Maybe if you lay down in a darkened room for a few hours before posting next time, then you won't appear so silly.

Yes mate, the MOD were staying untill 2012, and I was getting the van ready to swap. Already heading into the German carpet cleaning so decided to not bother and cut and run. It's earned us a good wad mate. I was the same as you were before the plunge  ;D

That's not what he normally says about you Dazmond. You got to forgive him though, working for Guurmans. They bombed his Grandads chip shop.

Everyone's different and we all have different ideas and ways of doing things. That's why some people are trad and some wfp.
Yes, i'm mainly wfp but I do enjoy the trad work that i have; it breaks up my day. If you're trad then why not try wfp? Try and find someone who will let you have a go and see what it's about. Then you can make up your own mind and see if it you fancy it. Try stuff. If you don't like it, then that's cool, but at least you've tried it.  ;D
