Nearly lost my rag yesterday morning when a journey across London and back involved 4 "confrontations" with windscreen cleaners. They all seemed to be near-Eastern immigrants men, women, children and babies (not that it matters who they are) and I don't know if the police have any powers other than to move them on.

However, I did find the perfect solution, and that was to turn on the wipers on the fast speed! Any other tips? Waving arms and saying 'no' doesn't work.

Don't go to London. An awful place, I hear.

Shooting them helps

Having lived/worked in London I find that NOT coming to a full stop helps. i.e. leaving a gap that you can roll through means they don't know where to start..
