WFP V trad, is there a turf war in some areas?
« on: January 28, 2010, 12:24:05 am »
Hi all,

The majority of you seem really helpful towards one & other. You offer great advice, & some much needed constructive critisism in places, lol.

However, I have noticed that 1 or 2 on here appear bitter towards others methods of cleaning?

I notice that some WFPers have a gripe against tradders for example, & I wondered if this was a kind of turf war location thing, or is it a price & accessibilty thing?

smug prat was a little harsh, I was joking as in having a laugh i'm not smug at all  ;D

Yes I started off trad, I still do trad, we are all the same, wfp is safer, but thats another argument.. would I treat a trad guy any different  not at all I do rib dazmond a little as he seems to like it ;D

I think a window cleaner should be able to use all the tools available, trad and wfp, you need both as they are tools of our trade.

Hi again,

On the flipside, I have read 1 or 2 advising that WFP is the way forward, but then you wonder if they are really using the trad method?

  Some can`t use a wfp and some can`t trad but they are both very useful.
