Interesting that they have cloths, or chamois, over their shoulder.

Funny how that hasn't changed.

My Dad cleaned windows just after the war. He said the wooden ladders were unbelievable heavy and after they got wet even more so. He stopped after 3 month. He said it was a crap job after the rain and cold of winter in Leeds. Now I clean glass the softies, way.
