Saw a young lad today doing wfp , but I felt really sorry for him cos i knew he was new to it !  He was snagging the pipe on bushes and really struggling with it !     Is this the most annoying part of the job ?

Snagging hoses is the wfp equivelent to rose bushes stealing your cloth and not realising till your at the top of the ladder

better than ladders tho its strange its alot of hastle but... i would rarther get the pole out and clean 2/3 story windows than get a 3 story ladder out or what ever. still alot of my work is ladders as i have a trolley system.

Snagging is more of a problem when you have the tap attached to the bottom of the pole, as you have a massive loop to get snagged on stuff.

OTOH it's quicker to have the tap to hand, and uses less water (quicker on/off)

With experience snagging hoses become less and less as you learn where to place hose and notice potential problem areas
