Aye you think your safe and all is fine until this happens.

I used to do some mad stuff,started my first round at 17 and was fearless,now I am terrified on ladders at times,hope the guy pulls through.

Could some one do a fund where we all donate a tenner or summit.

well,I'm wfp  because I have a house , a shed  and a garden but not everyone has this luxury . What about someone living in a flat? there is always the option of buying purified water from a third party but it's not very convenient is it? for a lot of trad window cleaners it's a no mess no fuss way of getting on with their job!!

^ For the record this wasn't posted to have another trad vs wfp dispute. It's slightly annoying that sometimes people just can't wish someone well without reading between the lines.
