squeeky, got to hand it to you - not only do you defend your corner well but you also come out on the offensive every so often, you are right though, some folks don't like wfp - flip side of the coin is some prefer wfp.

some day you will too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate getting wet when I'm in confined spaces cleaning high level windows and having to put my waterproofs on.

I wasn't going to poke my nose in, but someone mentioned what I might be thinking, so I said.

"Some day I'll prefer wfp?"
What makes you think that?

If you've got a reliable Lexus, why change it for a dodgy Renault?

[neil100]

Squeaks, Your analogy of the Lexus and dodgy renault is wrong.

It should read " If you've got a reliable lexus, why change it for a Ferrari?

Both great cars but the Ferrari will get you there faster despite higher running costs but it will turn heads. The elderly wont care much for the Ferrari but they preffer to stick with the lexus.

  Things I hate :-

  Tank overflowing
  Grit on your poles that stop your pole sliding ( I carry polish for this now )
  Grit in connectors, you struggle to connect them
  Reeling in your hose to find dog dirt on it.
  Terraced houses, too much hassle , prefer large detached houses.
  When you have no water coming out of your brush, trying to find the air lock.
 
   Apart from all that I love it.

Hi Matthew.

Microbore is your answer mate, the hose was my biggest wind up. It hardly ever snags & takes seconds to pull out & wind in. I often have a 100m of it out, round corners & over a couple of fences,most of the time i wind the lot in in less than a minute. Also i use airline connections, dont leak or pop apart like Hozelock.

Its worth every penny mate & i reckon it saves me an hour a day at least not to mention the wind ups with hose pipe.

I got mine off Tony (Sair) hes a good bloke, i've also got some of my mates to switch & they love it.

What makes you think I don't use microbore??? :

I switched to It a few months ago and It's great!

It never kinks on me but sometimes when your winding In It gets caught on a corner of a step or under a big plant pot

I use the schrarder type fittings from cleantech.

Squeek,

I must admit you give us all a good laugh "sometimes" and you can get the banter flowing but this Is turning Into another trad vs wfp

There's another topic called "Things we hate about trad" Thats where you should be not In this one.



Another thing I hate Is cob webs on the top corner of the window. You have no choice but to put the brush up there and knock em off but sometimes the water catches the top frame and when your done will start to run down and laeve a mark.

And washing the brushes when full of cob webs!

[Pj]

Well, this could go on either thread of "things we hate".

I am soaked through to the skin.  Worked in the pouring rain for the last 3 hours, drenched.

Oh well, I wouldn't have even attempted it trad!  So I've paid for dinner tonight

[dai]

I hate it when I mix and match WFP and trad and the pole keeps dropping into my scrim pouch. I know I should change the pole height but sometimes it's not worth it if the next window is hgher. Do any of you get this problem?
