Why does it make you laugh? and where does it say you shouldn`t?

I can't understand why people wfp bottoms unless its coz they wanna get round quicker. But is it quicker???

 
Each to their own I guess /emoticons/biggrin.png

However when using a wfp van mount it makes no sense to me doing tops by wfp & bottoms by trad. Some domestic properties I do you would struggle to do some ground floor windows by trad anyway without using a pole. Go figure :lol:

Because round my way amount of people who reach n wash ground floor lose jobs and they can't use a blade,that makes me laugh when they call themselves a window cleaner and can't use a blade.

 
Personally I don't care and not bothered what others do as I've never have any issues in retaining customers /emoticons/biggrin.png

And before anyone makes anymore disparaging remarks about wfp users it just so happens I'm very good a trad too. /emoticons/tongue.png

Yer right smurf some bottom windows are high. Have to stand on steps to reach them.

i agree as it happens, IMO wfp is designed for the windows you cant clean trad, ie, awkward access, conny, etc, or for commercial work. but like i said, only my opinion, im sure plenty on here disagree with me
 
No such thing as shouldn't wfp ground floors which seems raving bonkers to me that ppl have a van systems use two methods to do one domestic property.

WTF - WHY DO IT?????? Or are you just appeasing you left my windows wet brigade? /emoticons/biggrin.png

Kindly explain how you go about using both

Do you wfp all the tops first then go around again then trad bottoms?

Do you wfp tops one side then put wfp pole down to trad bottom windows and do the same on each side?

Either way you have to cart two lots of gear about when there is no need to which seems total madness if you ask me.

If wfp system is good enough for your customers to do tops maybe you should educate your customers a bit more. All I can see is ppl that use both on same houses are making a rod for their own back. Simples :rolleyes:
