haha!trad guys just cant compete with a GOOD WFP window cleaner!

on topic he s a very lucky guy.it could have been so much worse for him.

ive fell off a few times.both times it was user error/complacency.

i still use ladders occasionally and even a bit of trad work(ground floor usually)

thing is the wfp guys who bang on why why why  are only doin so because they know that laddermen in their area are serious competition .  

if you have, for example, 3 laddermen in a small town and you are a new start up wfp firm  you will have a heck of a job to get a round going , whereas if  they were 3 wfpolers you will slot in nicely

Hate to agree but think you're on the right track.  
WFP still has a long way to go to gain acceptance in some areas.
I pass the Dumb Steeple most days on my way to work. For those who don't know it is the focus point of the LUDDITES !!!!
And believe me some would rather poke their eyes out with rusty needles than have there windows cleaned with a bog brush on a stick!!!

i can genuinely say i am more than happy for everyone to stay trad
less competition

If i was to be asked by anyone starting out whether to go trad or wfp
and i was forced to give a honest answer, i would say yes defo learn
learn to use a blade it will come in handy but long term wfp is the way
to go,easier on the body, safer and financially it makes sense.

But hey why should i care,the more that stay trad locally,the more
i get the fascia and con cleans that give me£40-£60 a hour that they
are unable or dont want to do.

Its all good baby!!!

More to the point, they don't believe you.

When I first started out there was a guy on ladders leaving a Victorian 3 bed semi with two bays. As we chatted he said to me "who's going to pay more than a fiver for that?". My thought was who would do that for less than £15.
