Re: First, ice cream van wars, now...

Hm, window cleaners...

They charge £7 a pop for standing on a ladder looking at your window with a damp cloth in their hand.

Our window cleaner does'nt even carry a bucket. For all I can see he uses one damp cloth to rub our windows with. I'm probably getting old, but as far as I know a proper window wash requires a fair bit of water...

Window cleaning: a great way to make a fortune doing bugger all

Akhtar's defence said he had skewed thinking which needed to be taken care of.
I think he needed a better legal representative.

Re: First, ice cream van wars, now...

If your window cleaner is very cheap, that'll be because he's coming back later, with a van and a mate, to take the TV and video.
