There has always been a screwy attidude to ladders and safety among some window cleaners. You would think that it was an affront to their manhood to suggest they should consider the safety aspects of what they do.
I saw three guys out cleaning widows with ladders yesterday in West Harrow. Fine if thats what they want to do.
I have been in this business a long time off and on. I've heard about a lot of window cleaners and a lot of falls over the years.
Its just a job, not worth killing yourself over it.
