Looks like a pr stunt to me he is pushing his franchise's out and what better way than national news papers.

I don't know many shiners that go to work in chinos and suede loafers.

I'm sure the chap enjoyed his little jolly in the sun just to train up others to take over.
Still whoever leaked the story to the press the chap still got what I assume a free ad out of it so fair play to him

Wasn't knocking the bloke at all.He comes across well in the article.
I had never heard of his company and quick Google search shows he like to get it in the media.
We would all do the same its great for him I bet his inquiries for franchises have gone through the roof since the story.

Come on Darran there's more holes in that story than is in a Swiss cheese, for a start there are more than a few
professional window cleaning firms on Majorca that deal with these millionaire pads.
Plus if you going to mock up the pictures you could at the least hide the fact that its a building site.
PR stunt or not its still positive publicity for his business so fair play to him.

I though about washing window shutters with wfp in Spain as they are minging.

But after asking some friends, they really don't care what it looks like and I don't think many will want to pay for it.
