Perhaps he should try to remember why he went up the point in the first place, maybe then he would be a bit quicker. :o :o :o
I've seen snails move across glass quicker than that.

I saw slower in the Gower (South Wales) in the Summer.  Wor Lass and I watched this guy clean the Tourist Centre at Rhossili, and honestly, you won't get slower than him.

I swear, this place - even on ladders - shouldn't have taken long:

I found a pic of it on Google:



The window cleaner:

1.  Brushed the frame and window with a hand brush.
2.  Really scrubbed the windows with a small washer; but really scrubbed them.
3.  Scrimmed the side and top edge.
4.  Did pull down strokes with a small squeegie, drying the blade after each pull.
5.  Scrimmed the frame again.

All done with meticulous effort.

I swear on my dog's life (bless him), that we went down to Rhossili beach, messed around, ate some food, walked back, and he was still there working away.

I wanted to go and help the guy out, but declined since I didn't want to be a 'You don't wanna do it like that...' 'Arry Enfield type; but he's the slowest.

Anyone know him?

Was he bald ?

Balding, I think.  There can't be many window cleaners who work in the Gower area; it's very rural and a pain in the ass to get around during tourist season.  He looked a bit like Ian_Giles if that's any help.

Think the bloke is on day release from some special hospital or summat maybe? Anyway, the fat geezer in the following vid from Rclean or whoever they are is a posing useless fat git who spends too long trying to impress anyone who's passing by to be worth paying to clean windows.

He should have that window done properly with detail in under 15 seconds.  ;) People like that make people like me look good at what we do . ;D ;D

No, Squeaky is the ginger balding window cleaner who uses hair care products like this:

It's obviously a rip off.

Yes, but at least that guy uses a squeegy; Frank just licks the windows.

These two seem to be breaking more windows than they are cleaning.
