I hate that term. You can hardly call a carbon fibre pole a tool can you. We're not a proper trade.
We look at them, they look through them.

Someone that says we don’t use proper tools is the kind of person that cleans 50 quid jobs for 25,no self worth or confidence.

Quite right. I can buy a shovel for £15 but a £3,500 van system + £500 on a pole aren't proper tools.  ::)roll

Stick together lads depression amongst window cleaners when you wake up and go out cleaning windows just think to yourself you are not doing a proper job that should make you feel a better person.
I’m seriously thinking about saying that to my accountant he might tell me I don’t need to pay anymore Tax ever again,not sure the HMRC view it like that though when money keeps going into my bank lol.

I don’t think that even justifies a reply if I’m honest.

Tool:
a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function.

therefore it is a tool

Trade::
a job requiring manual skills and special training. - the special training may be subjective - some people just cant handle a pole or a squeegee

On this very rare occasion he’s right though. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I think NWH knows I’m not his biggest fan but even I’d say he’s about right this time.

You might want to self depreciate yourself but the OP makes you sound like you’re grumpy everyone else isn’t doing the same.

Is he ? if bricklaying, plastering, joinery, electrical work and so on where as easy as window cleaning we would all be living in self built homes, we are cleaners, its nothing to be ashamed about but a trade its not.

My point was, who cares?

The OP “hates” the use of the word.
And the wants “the nause” banned again because he doesn’t agree.

Why? Who cares that much about the word “tools” and whether NWH is an absolute melt on here?

If you don’t value what you do you’ll never achieve a decent living at this game.
