Title: Health and safety in London
Post by: ftp on June 02, 2009, 09:14:46 pm

Spent the weekend in London at the Hilton Hyde Park. Watched a windowcleaner about five storeys up in another street climbing out of the window and standing on a ledge cleaning merrily away. :o
How long has London been the capital of every culture apart from the English ???

couldn't see a landyard - just seemed to be climbing out of sash windows, closing them and then blading.

I've seen that often enough in Edinburgh. Seems to be standard practice there.
