I am 100% trad. Seriously, and with all due respect, please tell me why you and DG Cleaning seem to have a problem with this.
Many thanks,
John
Absoloutely no problem at all with trad john. I started off trad and I still do a few days a month totally trad with the good old ladders.
It just always seems that the people who are always bigging up trad and showing the downsides of WFP etc are 100% trad.
Surely it would be better if you did both then you could give a fair review of both methods and still choose whichever method you preferred to do the job?
If you look long enough on here, you'll see it's the other way round mate. WFPers want to show how clever they are because they have to educate their custies about how ladders are illegal and soap leaves huge blue stripes on their windows, and this kills custies pets blah blah blah. So some of them want trad banned, so they don't have the disadvantage of granny Jones thinking they are getting money for waving a pole with a garden hose about and getting paid for it.
All these misconceptions from Joe public, stand in the way of some WFPers. Not all, but some of these people got into window cleaning directly with WFP. What happens is, some people get stuck in a job they hate, or lose their job. So they look at their options, and think, "I've heard there's money in window cleaning".
All they need is a mop and squeegie, a head for heights, a basic ability to use both hands, and little fear of rejection so they can knock doors. HOWEVER, a lot of these people, have a basic fear of contact with the public, little or no hand - eye co-ordination, and maybe even a fear of heights. Great start eh?
So they go WFP and pay someone with bottle like Wizz or Mick Kent to do the contact and rejection stuff, then come on here and gob off about how good they are, and how thick the old school tradders are.
Later on, they come on here gobbing off about the summer brigade nicking their custies, and how to get more work. While at the same time spouting off about how they have 4 holidays a month in St Moritz and are thinking about expanding to setting an apprentice on. All happening while sitting on here all day, while the rest of us are putting in at least 4 half days a week to earn what we need. If you look closely, you'll see most dumb tradders are home by mid day to early afternoon. and take time to read the dross on here, while having a good laugh.
After a while on CIU, having read all this cr@p for a couple of years, you end up posting nearly exclusively on the chat section of the forum.

Added later. If I was working in sunny UK, in all honesty, I'd be at least 90% WFP. You have really awkward windows that are above sloping rooves etc, and many other hard to get at windows. The access can be poor, but in your situation, I understand the safety aspects, and on that alone, WFP is miles ahead of trad IMO.
It's the attitude of window CLEANERS that makes the most trouble. Note the word cleaners. We're just cleaners, so it's not life and death lads.
