Window Washers

Everywhere you go, and no matter where you are, you’re bound to run into them.  There’s no avoiding them and even though you’ve signalled that you’ll be right and you don’t need it, they’ll still do it without fail.  Yes that’s right peoples, it’s those wonderful window washers.

They know how to supposedly clean the windows, the route to take and the timing and synchronising of lights.  The routine would normally go as such:
1. Red Light occurs
2. Your window washer comes along and raises his squidgee
3. Regardless if you signal yes or no, without fail he will clean
4. You can either tip (because you feel bad), or just nod and thank the guy

Now what’s always been on my mind is what happens with that money and how much do they actually make.  My guess is probably crack and booze, and the always handy pack of cigarrettes.  But what if, they saved all their money, invested it well, got government benefits and didn’t even pay tax?  I watched this documentary and find it all too much, tell me what you think.
