Any ex (or still) window cleaners here? What funny things have you seen?

I believe the hourly rate for window cleaners now is about £20. 30 hours of work a week and you'll make £600, of which 20 quid will be declared to the Inland Revenue! But seriously, it's not bad pay for a physical job that's not too taxing on the brain and it'd be far better than sponging off folk who maybe aren't that well off themselves!

And run a van, buy kit, pay NI, tax, insurance.

End up with about £15k.

Not really. Here's how it goes. Buy a car (you might already have one, many do) get a roof rack fitted to carry your ladder. Buy a bucket on a belt, squeegee & blade, buy some aluminium ladders (some might have a pair already, buy a bucket, buy some washing up liquid, buy some outdoor/waterproof etc clothing/boots (many have such stuff already), declare as little as possible to the Inland Revenue and away you go!

You've obviously not made a big enough donation to party funds.

It's our duty as citizens to avoid paying as much tax as we can

On a serious note, there's the classic trope of randy male window cleaners playing hide-the-sausage with lonely housewives, but are there any female window cleaners and are they also as bad...or are they chaste?

It seems that window cleaners are seasoned professionals who even have their own forum. It's quite a, er, eye opener...

Post that in NCAP then sit back and enjoy the fun.
