Ten years ago you couldn't stop at a set of traffic lights without some moron wanting to rub dirty water all over your windscreen with a peice of stty plastic. Now; I haven't seen one in years. Where have they all gone?

I sort of miss them now I come to think about it.

I still see them all the time around London. One of them drew a heart on my windscreen with the soap, didn't change the fact I had no money to give her and she wasn't best pleased hehe

The exact same happened to me in London, I was shaking my head in the no direction, she still proceeded to put soap on the screen, drew the heart, still saying no at this point then she comes to the window and asks for money.
