Saturday's Daily Express carried an article about alleged intimidation and threats to Window Cleaners by gangs in the Oldham area, seeking to take over their rounds, any body seen it?, what are your thoughts?

Yes i read article Jake! I think its been blown up a litle bit cos of race problems they have had in that area.

It also said the window cleaning round was worth £100 a week! Big deal!Not worth getting out of bed for that!!  :o

Fair comment about the race angle. At the end of the day,  it's a matter for the police to sort out. But if these 'shiners' lost their work to these gangs, would the Inland Revenue be interested in paying the 'new' guys a visit?!
