I also resisted wfp due to the fact I liked the simplicity of cleaning windows traditionally, even after I broke my ankle. However, after thirty years it took it's toll on my body particularly my back, legs and knees. After the surgery on my bad ankle in 2006 I had no choice but to give wfp a go or give up a job I really enjoyed. Within a week I wished I'd done it long before.
I use a trolley and barrels and work from my car as this has proved to be the best method for me and is  perfect for my round.
It's very different to tradding but I really enjoy it.
We have a choice! We can do one or the other, the opposite, both, or neither depending on which way the wind is blowing.

That's a fair comment, and if I were to change my mind and go wfp, I would go the trolley and barrel route too.

At the moment, at 56 years of age and nearly 22 years in this game I am in good enough nick to cope easily with trad work, so will continue this way until that changes.

Being diplomatic is being able to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.
