Get a WFP. its so easy. Failing that a Garden spray bottle and some scrim.
Before I went WFP I wouldn't touch leaded glass which excluded me from a lot of work. Now I have WFP I find that more people with leaded glass are looking for a WC than you would expect.
This leads me to think that other WCs give them a miss as well.

I find them a doddle.
Get a microfibre cloth and spray and buff.

I can do them the same or quicker than squeegee panes.

Kind of defeats the object of wfp.... ;D

You wouldn't be noticeably quicker than me on leaded, as I said, I do them faster than squeegee panes, and I'm bloody fast with the old rubber wand.

Georgians, yes I'll give you that one, but then I don't do georgians anyway.
Only one or two that I've known for years.
I don't pick up anything not suited to me.

I'll be the one at home having a lager(not a larger ;D), while you're faffing about filling water and doing all those other tasks.... ;)

No chance.  WFP is far faster on leaded windows.  No chance.

You've obviously never used microfibre and a good spray then Tosh.

I'm literally 2 to 3 times faster now.

Still no chance.  Rhymes with 'Horlicks'.

Funny then that you do some squeegee work because it's quicker, yet I can do leaded faster than squeegee most of the time.
Work it out for yourself.

You lot (not you personally Tosh) are so slow by hand.
No wonder you need wfp. ;D

Squeaks v wfp.

Gotta give you 10/10 for effort squeaks.  You defend your corner admirably.

Dont you ever feel bullied?

squeek I'll promise you I'm faster than you on downstairs stuff with the squeegee any day - I'm no terry burrows but I'm still fast, faster than you, and with wfp I'm 2x as quick again - don't be silly squeeky, you'll be a wfp'er someday!!

Oh, I've had a good chuckle over all this wfp waving last night. ;D
You promise you're faster. How do you work that one out if you don't know how quick I am?

If you're 2x as quick with wfp, then you're a lot slower than me!
Never been beaten by one on a house next to me. ;)

...and no I won't be one someday.
Why do I need it, and it's hassle?
