It made an interesting read, and was very positive towards the featured operator.
There were quite a few inaccuracies,, like stating he carried 2x 2000l of water , when the van he was pictured with was a Vivaro.
It said most wc ers earn 20k a year , 25 if you work hard, but he is a workaholic so earns a lot more . It then went on to say he did not take a holiday this year!
Quite a good read.

The first line is a bit dodgy though.............
'Feel this; that's 995 grams," says Dave Lugsden, thrusting a long pole proudly into my hands. I give it a jiggle, then a quick swish

Good read and thought it was a great name for his company. Can't understand why he would want to put a Pig on the end of an SL-X though.
Now if this was The Sun reporting this story it would go something like.
White Van man makes 100k by cleaning windows with a yard brush on a stick with water out of his van. ::)
-
That pole must be one of Alex's prototype's
The brush weighs about 595grams - its a vikan sill isnt it
-
he lives around the corner to me!!!
Its funny! we drove into a road and he was asleep in the van! ;D
-
That's it we will have any tom dick and Harry cleaning windows now :o :o :o :o :o :o
-
just read it... he says he waves at other window cleaners! mm well doesnt me lol
-
Nor me...although it does says he got other vans!
-
I have only ever seen the 2 signwritten vans on his drive.
And he can often be seen asleep on the A31 in a layby
-

-
he says he has to vans that are self employed surely if there is vans there nt sef employed???? he could of got him self in trouble.
come great advertising though and i would lov to know how he has got them to write a article.

That must have been the most honest, unbiased write ups on window cleaning and WFP in particular that I have ever read.
Thankfully the majority of Guardian readers will be those with more disposable income to spend on window cleaning than the trash tabloid paper readers.

Yeah I read the Guardian every Sat, it is a great buy , and always a good read these days.
