The announcement did not say that. That just sounds like some young copper itching to throw his weight around.

Our job is unusual in that we can have as little contact as we like.
It seems simple to me, keep your distance don't touch peoples stuff, get paid online.

Having said that I'm doing some work tomorrow morning and then I'm done for the week.

You seriously rang the police to ask if you could work?

Words fail me!

I'm sure with all the stuff they're dealing with they really appreciated you wasting their time with that!

Here is the official policy from Gov.uk :

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others/full-guidance-on-staying-at-home-and-away-from-others

1. Staying at home

You should only leave the house for one of four reasons:

    Shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible.
    One form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household.
    Any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
    Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but window cleaning is a job that 'absolutely cannot be done from home' is it not?
The guidance really couldn't be clearer.

If you're that worried, just print out the page from the link above, and if you're challenged by a doogooder or busybody while you're out, just show them this.
