   Hi

[pjulk]

The wind is a pain here today came home early after just two cleans as its got to strong and im taking a bit of a buffeting up on my ladder.
Hopefully it will ease so i can go back out

only done 3 days this week...wind was the worst today, but got through it somehow....feel sorry for those of you on ladders....had that been me...I'd have stayed home..(read: gone to the pub)

[Ian_Giles]

wind really picked today, fairly blasting away
Didn't bother me though, didn't hardly give it a thought.........this being cos I use WFP now

If I was still using ladders, today would really have caused me concern, not nice at all.

WFP in the wind.

I've not really used mine in the wind as when I was experimenting when I initially got my pole, I found that on really windy days, the wind kicked up a lot of stoor which stuck to the wet windows. When they finally dried off, the windows didn't look as if they'd been cleaned in the first place.
I used to find that when I used a mop & squeegee, if it was really wet & windy, the windows looked as bad when I went to collect the money a few days later.

What does everyone else find?
Does wfp'ing in the wind leave a good job?  Or am I kicking my heels at home when I could be out working?

Thanks

Not had any complaints, so far, 2 years of wfp.
Don't work when rain is coming in horizontally, or pouring down, but worked many times in windy conditions.

This week has been a mixed lot for us

Monday - Worked half day with pole and some ground work doing a big high school before they went back.

Tuesday - Got out in the morning then turned wet

Wednesday - Full days work

Thursday - Full days work

Friday - Persisting down all day and gale force winds

Didn't work at all during the holidays, so we could do with some good weather to get back on track.

Does anyone use their WFP in the rain?  We haven't done so far, but I have thought about it.

It looks like the forecasters got it right again.  I've been up since since 6.00 am(to study for an OU course) and I can hear the wind howling outside.

I'm prepared for today and the missis and me are doing mostly inside work - only ground floor outside - that I've been saving up for a windy day.  Rain rarely stops us now, unless it's comming at us sideways.  Then we just sit it out in the car.  Heavy showers rarely last that long.  I'm sure we've all packed up during a down pour only for the sun to come beaming out ten minutes later.

Down here in Chepstow (South East Wales), we've been VERY lucky with the weather.  I feel sorry for you lads up in the North.  I can't remember when I've last lost a days work due to inclement weather.  We've had it extremely mild!  No snow and very little frost (once or twice I think).

Anyway, got to get on with 'France in the eighteenth century' before the missis and little un gets up.  Exciting eh!

[AuRavelling79]

France - eighteenth century? Royalty did not like the "weather" of 1789 I understand! In fact I heard it was bad enough to take their blocks off in 1793!

[windows_chepstow]

Bloody hell - are you doing the same course as me, or are you an educated window cleaner? Is yours a traditional Marxist view of the French Revolution or do you take the fashionable Modernist stance?

Also, what d'you reckon; GG4 or a squirt of the 'Green Stuff'?

[AuRavelling79]

Hi, WIndows_Chepstow!

Naaah! Just a CSE1 in History decades ago! And a daughter doing mock GCSE's before Xmas!

Weather here today in Brighton was brilliant sunshine but the wind along the coast, although light, was murderously cold.

Before Christmas it was appauling. We saw a tornado near Rottingdean (5 miles from Brighton) which apparently uprooted a few trees and wrecked a few cars. Needless to say, on that day we needed no further excuses to pack up and go home.

By and large though, over the festive season it hasn't been to bad down here.
