I use mine a lot, problem is you have to keep filling up. Great for a few windows. You'd have to work really quick to get an average size house done before it needs filling. But a really useful bit of kit - probably my best buy!

I would also pull out your hose out as far u can (100m?) and use this as a filling point, but make sure u put out as many warning signs that uve got (wether that makes a difference?), bcos u might have a toeragg wandering about looking 4 a claim!

Hey Woody1, you call ladder users muppets, well guess what, I've just looked at your back posts, and I say you're a fookin hypocrite.

I've just had a look as well.

May I, in particular, draw the honourable gentleman's attention to the comments he made on 3rd February 2010, at 6:24:54 pm, and invite his response please.

Woody1, the floor is yours.  ;D

This i what you said verbatim, on 3.2.2010:

'I think people should except some prefer wfp and others like ladder work each to their own, all this sniping just proves most wfp's can't traditional window cleaning safely and quick enough ladders are safe enough if used properley, wfp users have accidents too I think keep your silly unconstructive opinions to yourselfs'.

I actually agree with almost everything you say in this post!

With all due respect and no name calling to yourself, why the complete U-turn? Why did you say that ladders are safe enough if used correctly, now you are saying they are not? What is your experience? Did you have a fall?

John, or if you wish, Kermit

Fair comment.

I would say though, that I am very, very careful, (close to OCD when it comes to ladder placement, safety consciousness etc.) I am slow to the point of not being able to catch a cold!

Like yourself, I am a family man, so if I ever felt I was in danger from falling from my ladders, I wouldn't climb it in the first place. 

As I said, I did look into WFP, but I decided after weighing up all the pros and cons, that it wasn't for me. That said, I fully respect those who disagree with me.

Best wishes,
John.

Maybe I could, but I am really happy and content with the way things are now.

I have a good little round, great customers and no stress. I earn enough to live on.

I know I am an oddball(!), but if I am happy, why would I want to change that?
