England is a lush and fertile place. When I tell my desert-dwelling friends anything there that doesn’t move becomes quickly covered in green mould, they think I’m kidding. I am not. 21-year-old Liam Wildish has his own window-washing business in Retford, Nottinghamshire. That means he tools around the countryside with brushes, rags, buckets, ladders and the like in his car. And he notices the road signs that are so covered in goo they can’t be read, especially at night. In his spare time, Liam uses the tools of his trade to fix the problem. His neighbors have responded by helpfully directing him to all the dirty signs he’s missed. There’s been a response from the county council as well. “Legally,” they say, “We must point out that anyone undertaking such activity does so voluntarily and entirely at their own risk.” Typical.
