And another thing i was always behind working off of ladders if i had a holiday you never quiet catch up with it,if you get a good spell of weather with WFP you can end up getting if front of yourself even if you have lots of work.

If you have the right work no one in there right mind would want to go back to trad at all,i can`t imagine now doing 5-10 bed houses with a blade or scrim after using WFP for over 3 years +.Shops get the blade and that`s it if i can help it,like i say it`s all down to the work you have to whether it`s easier-better or not,most of the work i now pole has at least cut the time in half more often than not it now takes a third of the time it used to.

I AGREE WOoops..... its all down to the type of round , i dont do tarraced ,or small houses .....well i do , but i have a minimum charge £10 unless i have a few in a row, but none of this £5 a house thing  :o ...most of my work is suited to wfp, but then thats the work iv targeted, and iv dropped the work that is nt for wfp... it just makes sence to me....SAFER ... QUICKER...it just takes hard work to keep hunting for this work, but it does pay in the long run ;D

If you do have to get the ladder off for the odd time this time of year you feel the cold more than you used to aswell,due to having gloves on most of the time lol.

I'd forgotten why I stopped reading this forum. After reading the post by NWH I remember. Opinionated and giving no useful input at all. Tomorrow I'll clean windows. How I do them will be up to me and I'll decide depending on the windows and the conditions.

It's a small risk all people who use ladders know about and as far as statistics goes its hardly any that fall compare to the amount of people using ladders.

Most people won't fall from a ladder so you shouldn't put when you fall as most people won't it should be if you fall.

WFP has been around long enough now and about 9 in 10 WC`s can`t be wrong,if people still want to use a ladder let em.If they wine when they fall off it will fall on deaf ears.

9 out 10 ::) what a load of nonsense maybe 9 out of ten on the forum
not inthe whole of the british isles. ;D

i use wfp myself but it isnt always right for every job but im not so far
up my own arse that i think im the only person who is right.

i sometimes get the feeling some people need always to be
right about wfp to justify the outlay they have made
