    @Virgil wish they'd do that up here for the annoying window washers at major intersections.

    Was one guy 'claimed' he could make upto $200 an hour at peak times...public nuisance really, massive issue in Whangarei at present.

    Think that still goes on in South Auckland too. Pops up in the news from time time when someone has been abused.

    Happens all over the place. A while ago I'd just had my car cleaned and some dickhead came up behind me and "washed" my back window (I.E. left streaks all over it with whatever the fuck was in his bottle) and then demanded money. Said I had none so he demanded I go to the nearest ATM. Then swore at me as I drove off. I have no idea why they don't crack down on it more - one of them is going to get killed by someone when they squirt dirty water all over their Lamborghini or something.

    That would trigger me if they did my flamin back window... even if I hadn't just had it washed. I always wave them away.

    The window washers in Sydney were raising money for the moonies when I lived there . Fortunately I drove a piece of crap and they assumed I had no money .

    Do you really think Hooroo would be allowed on the back of an in-work thoroughbred? I don't care if he's got hands like Damien Oliver - the poor horse couldn't win at the jumpouts after a canter with Hooroo on board.

    apparently all down to local bylaws (WDC bans it on intersections they control)

    But the ones up here are all hanging on SH intersections (even more dangerous) meaning the Local Council has no jurisdiction as these are under NZTA, who don't have an issue with it.

    Worst thing is, many of them have no idea (or don't care) about light sequences, they start cleaning a window as a light turns green, some people just drive, others wait, holding up the traffic. Was at one last week, I reckon there were at least a dozen there trying to wash windscreens, although several were on a 'break' talking to the police...

    I wonder if any ferner is gonna do the old 'man those fullas are lucky Craig Clarke didn't WASTE them' post like they did a few years back when John Mitchell's hotel room got invaded.

    Because of the team it involves the headline will soon be changed to

    Selfish former chiefs captain reluctant to give desperate locals lift to toilet.
