Hi,

I visited the firms web page & e-mailed them the photos that I posted here on Cleanitup. I did not receive a positive reply.

"Why do you post pictures of my father on any site????
Did you ask for permission???
Who do you think u r???
At least you should cover my name and number on van.
If you have a problem with the way we had to clean the windows cos of technical dif-just ask ME first".

In a nut shell I replied that I did not have a problem with the way they clean windows & that I posted the photos for other window cleaners to see as it is not an every day sight that you see a window cleaner cleaning windows from the top of a van.

Is it that one standing on the roof of the van cos they are too tight to buy a bigger pole?

Least they dont actually say they follow wahr regs and are H&S concious on their website, as they would be plain lies.

I dont agree with any of the questions put to you.

They are working in a public domain, and the photo also taken in the public and not on private property. They only said all that cos they know it was wrong, and stupid.

Do you hear of paparazzi asking for permission?

Oh did you notice the parking on double yellows? double doh..


However I cant see why you emailed them! Post  up stupid working practises to show others fair play.. but why take it on yourself to contact them about it?

Right!  bite my head off iff you must!

But, in my opinion:

Yes, he was silly to stand on his van....But

It was sillier! to CONTACT him and post a pic on here.

Surely you have better things to do than this!

Just the type of stuff on here that makes me  ::)

If i was this guy i would seek legal advice against you.
You need a consent approval to publish pictures on an open site of a recognisable person,what gives you the right to trash his reputation because of his method of doing this job?
Sad person.

Hi,

Calm down

I Took the photo because it is not an everyday sight one sees & thought that cleanitup members would like to see.  I never did say I had a problem with the way they were cleaning the windows, I actually think its cool. Its the sort of thing I would do if needs must!

not on a public street you dont.

Do you think celebrities approve of having their images published of them drunk and falling over etc? no of course not, its in a public place so they cant do anything.

ive gotto agree BANG out of order
like a previous post said do you use WFP or are you strictly TRAD
i would say your just TRAD as if you used WFP you probably wouldnt even have posted

I thought this was a forum where window cleaners give each other advice not pull each other down

put the boot on the other foot and think how would you feel if he took pictures of you and posted them on a forum for thousands of window cleaners to see
 
me thinks your original post has made you look the fool and not him

just my opinion

I wouldn't want my image pasted all over a public forum for everyone to take the pis s out of because of the way i decided to do a job,and for the original poster to send him an email telling him...well you couldn't make it up if you wanted....

If it was me I would have told him to get his camera phone and take a video. 
Then I would have done a little DANCE on top of the van.

I'd be an overnight youtube sensation, great publicity.

Daniel, do you suffer from high blood pressure?  You need to chill it down mate, its only window cleaning after all.

If you do what the guy in the photo did then you would deserve to have the p taken on a public forum. It is also a good pointer with regards to best practise.

I agree it was silly to email the guy but to seek advise would be a stupid waste of cash. It was a public place and you can do whatever you like, within reason.

You have to admit..that this chap got 'had' and is a little upset that he has...as for the photo....personally I do break h&s weekly...but this guy got caught and a photo posted infront of his peers and is now bleeting that it's not right..

Sorry but the guy has every right to photograph you and post it....you got caught....thats the only difference between your moments and mine.

But to come on here shouting ::)...sorry but there it was for the world to see and why should this guy offer you anything if he did not feel he would like to?

Always someone elses fault but you stood on the van got caught looking foolish and now want to turn the tables.

You have to admit that the whole thing is a bit funny...

Cheers
Dave.
