It must be the effective licencing policy Scotland has.

[simon knight]

He's a bloody fruitcake and you can't even do a good job that close up to the glass....well I couldn't.

They certainly breed 'em hard in Boney Scotland! Thank God I'm a southern Jessie

[rs_cleancare]

I'll second that Simon.
The bloke is a true nutter!!

I wonder if he is on this forum?

when i first started 25yrs ago a lot of jobs where done this way its certainly easier than ladder and not as dangerous as it may look because there are always lots of hand holds to get hold of on buildings like that.   Although i havent done stuff like that for the past ten years due to health and safety laws i can honestly say i enjoyed doing it ,infact we had jobs 10 storeys high which where done by climbuing out on ledges.

And when he hasn't been on the whisky he actually does the top floor too.

[Jacob Keyes]

You're all worrying too much.  He'll be fine if he falls, cos spidey is right below him!

[brett walker]

I dont know how he can work with a boab i just find they wet your leg    but when he falls it wont be the only thing that gets smashed, idiot

I bet that was his last clean; no doubt the manager of the premises will find out about it now.

Also, cut him some slack lads; he's just earning an honest-living; he's not out robbing or mugging people.

He looks older than 18 years old, so is old enough to make up his own mind; unless he's got some sort of 'learning disability'.

I've seen a Moderator of this forum doing similar before they got a WFP!

[S_RICHARDSON]

Very silly thing to do but can you what all his customer's are thinking i'm sure he'll lose a few customer's after this newspaper!

Two things strike me in people who do this:-

1) They have no respect for their life, one slip and they could be history
2) They have no respect for other peoples lives, one slip, lady pushing pram, would hate to think.

Same old, same old... yawn...

As Tosh says, it's up to him. He knows what he's doing.
Stop picking holes in trad users.
I've seen some pretty dangerous wfp use.

[simon knight]

 Sorry Mr Squeaky I'm trad and it's up to me how much risk I take but this geezer is putting other peoples lives in danger and that can never be acceptable.

Anyone who cleaned commercials before wfp came along, and before there was such a thing as a "Facilities Manager", will have got up to stuff like this. And, as you can see, it still happens today.

The person MOST to blame here will be the person in charge of the office he's cleaning - or the owner of the building - because you can bet your bottom dollar that when they got a flyer from the firm who install safety bolts, it got binned because it would have cost too much to install. Ooh, wafered poles, what are they? Hmm, sounds good, much safer you say? The street's going to be closed because you need to stand in the road to get to these windows? Never darken my door again, you reprobate!

If the guy was wearing a harness, would anyone have bothered? NO!

If he was walking a ledge on the ground floor, would anyone have bothered? NO!

Want to bet the daft laddie gets a bigger telling-off from HSE than the office manager who's going to get it in the neck for letting him work like that? NO!

How long do you think the job's been done like that if there's no safety anchors? From whenever the building was built, of course. Why has it just come to light now? Because somebody who should have been concentrating on their own work in the office opposite was bored, and decided to play with the camera on his mobile phone.

Oooh, I'm off for a lie-down.

[s woodliff]

Squeaky Clean for a clean it up god u talk a fair bit of rubbish

[Sir Squeaky]

Rubbish to you because you're too much of a noob to understand.

Obviously an amateur wfp user...

[Pat Purcell]

Does anybody know the building,we have a lot of buildings like that over here and usually up to the 3rd level can be done by ladder so no anchors and above that there would be anchors for an aker&mann belt on each window
Just wondering if the lad was doing it the best way he could or if he was cutting corners figuring ledge walking was faster than ladders


And yes been there done that

[Fast Eddie !]

3 floors !!!! thats nothing !
