Maybe time now we all campaigned to get ladders banned from this trade,lets be fair wfp is there for a reason,at this time its purchased by choice,maybe nows the time when it should be made compulsory?
Plus this would stop the doleys

Ladders are not the problem,  the user is the problem.  Ladders are safe as long as used correctly and safely.

no not really, I would not send anything without knowing for sure mate to be honest, someone has posted an address from yell.com already, but I have no idea if that is correct

or do you mean the address of the accident? I have no idea, Ross may know

I've lost count of how many times I have nearly broken my neck tripping over hoses, for example.  Ladders are not perfect, but then so isn't wfp.  Wfp can't always reach all windows, nor get into the cracks in postage stamp windows, and when it comes to gutter clearing you still need a ladder, as gutter vacuums can only do about 75% of the job.
