i cant get on it on pc, just got it on the radio

[jeff1]

Nothing else I could hear was mentioned, the rest of the show was about football hooligans? Maybe the next show will be about w/c hooligans

The Fed & AWPC now need to club together and push the HSE on this matter. Also a top lawyer needs to be found to fight for it's members, it will be at a point where words will make no difference but needs to be fought out in court with compensation in mind.

It needs to happen now not when the ban starts, if this rule applies to window cleaners then ban it in industry as well. Window cleaning is an industry so if they do not ban it in Industry they cannot ban it for window cleaning. These are the points a top lawyer needs to look at.

For example ban it in Industry then beer shortage, I'm sure there then would be an outcry.

In all honesty I don't think it will ever come to a ban on WFP.

It's just scare mongering by the press - especially the BBC for some reason?

Hold ur 'orses !!

This was a feature on the Jeremy Vyne Show, not a govt. regulation or blue-paper submitted to parliament.

Jeremy Vyne is notorious for featuring controversy on his show with biased reporting and controversial viewpoints, its tabloid journalism.

Highly unlikely to have any cause to keep any of us awake at night, unless, of course you want it to.

I live opposite a golf course and during last years hosepipe ban they were watering the greens almost daily. I asked Thames Water about this and they said that water could be used as long as it was needed for business purposes but would reconsider in the event of a drought order.

The danger arises that in the event of a drought order regardless as to whether or not wfp is banned that customers will view having their windows wfp'ed as anti-social.

So we go back to trad for that time.

I am sure health and safty will not be impressed

That's very true, and a point I've made in the past.

Even if it's ok'd, people will not be impressed when you're using water like it's going out of fashion, and they can't even wash the car.

Half my customers don't like it now!
Don't give them an excuse!
