Is it a legal requirement .................

[Evans Electric]

..............for all sets of traffic lights to have at least 3  women trying to clean our windscreens while we are trapped in the queue ? :red card

 

[Murdoch]

Do they speak English and pay NI and TAX?

Really!? They still do that up there?

There was a shooting near here over a pitch on the a406 but that was ages ago and they've moved on to selling cold drinks and melted ice creams.



what will they do in the winter I wonder?

Yes at all the major junctions around city centre,   there were 4 this afternoon , swooping down on everyone while we were stuck there.

Redirect the screen washes.

Most are foreign but I have known a few British to do this as a job. There was one at Newbury Park traffic lights on the A12 for years.

Theres a trick they do.......... apparently many drivers hand them a pound coin or a 50p ......as they take it they drop it down the inside of the car and look stricken .......   driver , thinking the lights will change any minute,  says "Don't worry I'll get it later "  and gives them another  one . 

When it is eventually retrieved ....it turns out to be a 2p that was dropped. :facepalm:

So, if you don't ASK them to clean your windscreen, are you legally obliged to pay someone who just cleans it for the fun of it?

 

[Evans Electric]

They probably have civil rights Dave , so every time you pull up at lights your screen gets another clean and you have entered into a contract with them .

There will be a Competent Windscreen Cleaners Government Approved Scheme  , CWCGAS  and everything . 

In fact you cannot clean your own screen anymore , must use a CWCGAS member and a cert sent off to the DVLA .

 

[ProDave]

Try this.

As you approach the lights, turn your wipers on. Let them try cleaning the screen with those going.

Thats what 75% of people round here do. They dont bother van drivers much as they know most will tell them to f off
