But why should you fall from a ladder if used the right way,someone footing the ladder,replace rubber feet when they should be done,not over reaching.

Like your employee did smashing a window as it fell?

No he was only the manager! Don't put him higher in life than he was! 1946-1984 - half a life time selling paraffin heaters and dustbin lids to old biddies and nails by the pound to DiY wannabees. I worked there as a Saturday lad in the 70's. Great fun.

Like "Open All Hours" in hardware.

Granville Gold - I might make that my "new" name. Hmmmm ...

There's another good reason for working Trad that nobody mentioned-
A lot of people work as window cleaners because it's a nice hassle-free kinda job.

With WFP this is not so!

There are constant problems with WFP, e.g. snagging hosepipes in cluttered gardens, equipment breakdowns, freezing water..  ping around on a weekend changing resin and filters, taking poles apart to clean them etc etc.

In comparison Trad's quite relaxing and enjoyable!

I use both, depending on the job, I do earn a bit more using WFP, but enjoy it more when working Trad.

At least he could get out of the hole with the ladder; you couldn't with a wfp.
There's your answer.

your only aloud to use ladders if u cant get to it by any other means its a last resort so if your using them all the time then your breaking that law at some stage there will be a time when u will not be able to use ladders at all so then what are trad meant to do i would get a system. more and more ppl are falling off ladders it will be band its just a case off when . and if they don't band it then it will be a case that u will have to drill wholes in wall to secure the ladder were hard hats and be harnessed on have someone foot the ladder and that's a lot more hassle then wfp . ;D

Different jobs require different methods end of.  25years window cleaning and I do both trad and wfp.  To me there's no argument , there's no right or wrong but in an ideal world you can do both.  What is wrong is people calling others thick.

He is neither, that was one of the first lies that wfp dealers used to tell people who were starting up.
I am sure there are a lot of people out there who still believe it.
