Wow, he did really well didn't he? ;D

Only joking. I notice he's from Locking Road, that's the really scabby part of Weston. Not that surprised to hear that.

I actually met this guy!
He seemed very nice, and had the kit & everything.

In the Swindon area he would canvass & get people to sign up for a year of cleaning, then ask them to pay upfront.... and they did!!
He would turn up for 1 or 2 cleans, then went missing. While he was there he would also check out their sheds & if any house doors/windows were open he was in like lightening.

His canvassing technique must have been superb though....

The main road is alright, there's some really nice houses, it's the estates attached to it.

Wont be too hard for him to come out in 2 1/2 years time and start again in another area, I know im going to get it in the neck but hes one of the reasons a license is a good idea.

The really daft thing is that he could have probably made more money, with less risk, if he had been a totally straight window cleaner.

That isn't going to make any difference is it?

Not going to get it in the neck from me but I question whether licensing would stop someone like that anyway.  Even if it was policed, the only known offence when he failed to produce it would have been not having a licence.  If customers never ask to see it, it wouldn't make any difference IMO.  He could just as easily have said he was a gutter cleaner/painter/gardner/tree surgeon or probably any number of other jobs.

Yer I agree on the basis of if you havent already done a crime you could do it once youve got the licence, but this person in question wouldnt get a license, I got a CRB check and so many of my customers trust me on there property due to this,
