Ya know, thinking about it, I've never seen an 'ethnic' window cleaner (not the one's that do car windscreens) I'm not racist by any means, I don't really care what colour they are....but I don't know, or have ever seen, a 'black' window cleaner ! I suppose there must be some out there......but pretty thin on the ground (or up a ladder)

I'm a Geordie-Japanese gadgy.  Slanty-eyes, but sound very different to what people think I should sound!  Whey-Aye-Banzai. 

I'm not sure if I'm an ethnic minority, but in the Army Ethnic Monotoring surveys, I always had to tick the 'Other Box', because I never fitted into any of the standard ethnic groups.

Therefore, my ex-wife - an 'Irish bog-trotting chip-pan licker' used to refer to me as the 'Other Box'.

My mate Navi used to be a window cleaner and he is a Pakistani although he has retired now, so there has been some(at least one) even if there are not anymore!

There's a rasta around here who we see every Friday doing a long parade of shops.

All the other window cleaners I meet seem to be Geordies for some reason.

Help .......

Mind you I was born in Scotland and bought up in the Smog. My fathers Scottish but my mother was Sweedish so I suppose I'm an ethnic to.

I'm also the shortest window cleaner I know at 5' 7".
