window cleaning
The house opposite me has just had the windows cleaned
A van turns up with 7 people and judging by the conversation all Eastern European. Three ladders come off the roof of the van and six men get to work - the seventh stays in the van smoking. Approx 4 minutes later the windows are "clean", the ladders go back on the van and they all drive off. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Water from a bucket applied with a fluffy sponge on a stick and wiped off with a squeegee. Glass only with no attempt to clean window frame. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Before this, her elder brother. But could be he has a job now. -- *If you think this van is dirty, you should try having sex with the driver* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

And your point is? I get mine done by a single eastern European, its just a
middle terrace but he is done quite fast. I wonder what it costs for a team like that? Brian -- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Water from a bucket applied with a fluffy sponge on a stick and wiped off with a squeegee. Crikey. Crime of the century. But what do you expect from these East Europeans? They don't have glass back home you know. Just chicken wire. Glass only with no attempt to clean window frame. I have never in my life ever seen a window cleaner clean the frames. Not even when he had an English pedigree going back to Agincourt. -- Algernon |
