Far from being eyeballed, I have obtained some quality work from trad cleaners I know who were unable to do certain jobs from a ladder.

i think that the trad guys who seen you were more curious how you were cleaning the windows , if you see them again just ask them if they will be going wfp that will get you chating to them as 9 times out of 10 there reply will be how dos it work .
like you say the wfp guys are just looking to see how you do it once again i would just say do you think im doing things correct or is there a better way that i could be doing things .
ive only ever had it happen once when some trad guys were watching me and it seemed like they were giving me bad looks , but i spoke out to them and it turns out they were thinking of going wfp but didnt no much about it , i helped these guys set up there system and have become good mates with them .
by the way ive got a new style tap on my pole cost around £4 from e-bay .
and good morning to you aswell gazza .

Yes i will chat to them all in the future dave, i have smiled with a view to chat , but they turn away lol.

think i saw them on ebay, is it a red tap?

i could do with a clamp for the pole instead of tape, and the loop is driving me nuts lol

the taps red black and blue mate , the loop just use velcro or hold it in your hand when doing downstairs , the clamp maybe a jubilee clip would be ok .
