A licence, to clean windows?
what were the scots thinking
It's not a licence to clean windows, it's a licence to say you have all the right insurance to clean windowsI think a licence to clean windows is the most stupid idea ive ever heard of.

Unless you’re on a building site, hi vi jackets are for pikeys.I am sure the Chancellor mentioned something about window cleaners handing out receipts?
Don't worry, licences will become mandatory all over the UK. Take Friday, I was talking to a contractor and his boss drove up and came over to talk to us. I used to play golf with him so just started talking to him and he came over to me to read my name badge to see if he remembered me. So he knew my name without asking me. On Thursday I called NHS 24 regarding one of my customers who was clearly unwell. If I didn't have a licence I probably wouldn't have done either because I would feel a fraud. Two other window cleaners don't have a licence and avoid me, they realise that their game is up. The first thing I say to new customers, I have a licence (which they can see from my badge) and I am insured and it seems to instantly bring a smile to their face. I just need a T-shirt with my name on it or maybe a hi-vis wi my name on it. Any hi-visors out there? :1f603:
Probably not with immediate effect but what they have been banging on about is a business licence which would cover much more than just window cleaning, it would cover builders, plasterers, electricians etc etc etc. I imagine initially it would just be a soft licence system like the Scotts have but it’s like anything, more regulation always follows. Look at the driving test, when my old man passed his test he just needed to know the basics, now they’ve made it more difficult to pass and added extras... basically if we head down the route the Yanks have anyone with an unspent criminal record would potentially be denied a licence because they would be putting the public at risk.I made a couple of stupid mistakes over the years one was almost 20 years ago and the other 27 years ago, does that mean that I if a licence was brought in across the UK that I would have jack in my business of 18 years, if so wtfpure insanity

No I would hope that the sex offenders register where they keep an eye on such people would ensure they cannot work in any role like this.The licence is a good idea if policed correctly. Most of you are looking at this all wrong. Would you like a paedophile to be cleaning your windows and working around your children?
The licence pays for itself overtime. ID is such a good investment. It gives customers a sense of relief or security. Although most don't know you need one.
You HOPE? There's nothing stopping these people from picking up the tools and chapping doors. Is every customer going to do a background check on there unlicensed cleaner?No I would hope that the sex offenders register where they keep an eye on such people would ensure they cannot work in any role like this.
