I have just started to use another lad recently .
I have one lad that likes to do a day a week at the most due to his other work committments and toddlers .He is very good and earns his £50 easily.
This new lad is very reliable,trustworthy and pleasant.
However he is really slow .
But he is really through and top quality work I believe . But boy he is really slow . Only been his 3rd day .
Got him again thursday.

I hope he speeds up as I'm nearly faster being on my own today .
Difficult times this time of year as cloud cover makes tradding difficult with cloths being wet .
But Im sure he should naturally spped up .
think he used 2x as much water on each window , which I suppose is best as I dont have any complaints .
I had one lad once that was faster than me , which isn't right when new , he was binned .

But I think he will come good and Im lucky to have a rough diamond , just needs polishing up a bit .

I suppose a few on here have had lads that have got up to speed .

sounds like a good un. block one of his jets so he uses less water, sounds like his movements are just getting adjusted.

God this new lad is so slow .
Another day today , all wfp work , and we have used loads of water  and basically i could of nearly done all the work myself .
Quality work though.
Good Chit-Chat.
Came with a brew
Repaired a connector no problem

So I'd say he is very good , and I wouldn't want to lose him , but come on lad speed up .
Its not his work-ethic , pretty much non-stop , its basically he washes each window about 5x too many.

he'll probably not find his higher gears till it warms up. at least he's meticulous, once he's done the round a couple of times and knows the windows (you know what i mean) he'll pick up a few knots Smiley
