Glad that wasn't on national news, knowing how paranoid some people are they would have every window cleaner down as a theiving scrote. :o

The story does not really cover what he was sent to prison for, While taking advantage of any one is not on. I feel you need to read between the lines as there is obviously a lot more to this than reported.

Agree with you bob and Ian, just went with the reporters headline.

They obviously chose the headline to get people reading

That licence business in Scotland cant be implemented surely. Does every customer you have ask to see you licence? It doesnt happen in the UK with gas installers and their licences. It doesnt happen with driving licences. Frankly its a load of balls.

Some of my customers should be jailed - they've robbed me of far more than eight quid!

Typical that of the whole country he had to be about 2-3 mile from my house! I'll have to go canvassing in Eastham now their window cleaner is in jail.

Window cleaning can be very distressing at times.
