have not heard them called "the fuzz" for a few years.

It reminds me of an old joke.

Man talking to a young girl suspected of shoplifting
Q, Have you ever been picked up by the fuzz?
A, No but I have been swung around by the t**ts a few times.

BOOM BOOM.  ;D sorry its bad I know.

Hi,

Half way over a gate & heard hello hello hello, it was the local bobby who knew me.  Once had the keys from a shop owner to clean his house windows in & out , while inside police turned up on a call from neighbour who saw ladder & assumed burglars.

I have picked up several customers over the years that were unhappy with their present window cleaner climbing over gates and fences.

We don't climb either, if it's not open it doesn't get cleaned.

Never had any problems myself.... i always say hello and introduce myself as the window cleaner to any neighbours
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

  I have been spotted climbing over a gate by cops before now and questioned, they rang the local surgery to speak to the Dr's house that I was cleaning.

  Also early 1 summer morning, on a Sunday morning I was cleaning a big medical center (always do it on a Sunday as no-one around), I was up on the big flat roof doing all the sky lights, had my Ipod on when a copper tapped me on the shoulder, fair nearly shat myself!

  On the subject of dogs and gates, I have 2 police dog handlers on my rounds, thought one was out at work one day and started over the gate when I was met by a very angry trained biter, that made me move a bit sharpish.
  Advice to all, never climb a gate with a police dog on the other side!!
