It`s my choice not to say if i don`t want to it would only cause this thread to go on for about a week or so,i wouldn`t say it`s a case of North South divide i think the distance is a lot further than that in my reading.When you price do you think about the running costs of the van-wet days-holidays-sick days etc,if my opinion and business sense makes me an Arse then i have the biggest butt of you all.

Could be some guys have to charge higher than others if they have invested large amounts of money in their businesses. Flash van, carbon poles signwriting all on tick plus a big mortgage. If you have that kind of outlay then your going to have to charge big money. Some of us on less outlay don't need such high incomes to produce the same profit. When the going gets tougher prices may well fall.

Everytime i see some poor sod working from a ladder these days it makes me want to go up to him and ask him if he`d like to come out for the morning to see how easy his life could be, but most that i talk to give the same response as you Stan so i`ve stopped bothering now.

why should the customer have to pay more because you are to much of a wimp to use a ladder and need all the newest equitment  ;D

That isn't why the custy pays more Stan; it's because he feels comfortable in so doing.

If I used a ladder I'd charge more because it would take me longer than wfp.
It's a game of three halves!

£6.00 if I had other work round there. If I didn't then probably wouldn't bother with it as I would have to charge double that to make it pay and I'm too soft to ask the owner for that amount for so few windows.
