another question you might want to ask is

How many are wfp only, No trad.

I have met a few lately who are totally hopeless with a squeegie

im 16 years trad only but i will be adding wfp this year as well as a van/logo d polo shirts etc.i will probably be mainly wfp by the end of the year with a bit of trad here and there when needed!im also competent with many years of using extension poles so i dont think wfp will be much of a strain on my already oversized arms and shoulders!! ;) ;) ;D ;D

It doesn't take much to practice with a squeegie just to get you up to speed.

its always useful to trad some windows and its a handy skill to have, even if it means you can do a few bungalows when you are waiting for a part to be delivered or what ever.

I think you should start a trad, trad and wfp, and wfp only poll Ewan and see what it comes up with.

This poll really does not give correct results as one option was missing, it would be interesting to know the answer of the next one should it be started by you or I.

I find it funny Ian comes on all of a sudden now and reminds us all to keep on topic on most of the threads.


Am I straying from the original question?  ;D

These people are not "Window Cleaners"

"They are water fed pole operators"
