Wales: FARM life has turned full circle for a former milk producer who looked to the past when opting to grow fruit and veg. The 55-year-old bachelor can recall the early 1960s when he sat in his dad's veg van as it trundled its twice-weekly deliveries to shops in Llandudno. All the grocery shops have since disappeared and in the late 1960s Mr Williams senior stopped growing vegetables to concentrate on full-time dairying. But in 2005 Emlyn, now the sole partner, looked at his Arla milk cheque and realised it was time to sell his 120 loss-making Holstein- Friesian cows. "I bought myself one of those water purifying systems and set myself up a window cleaning round," he said. On another news site: The Assembly Government re-launches its flagship Farming Connect scheme tomorrow to provide farmers with advice on business development and diversification. One of its Farming Connect heroes is a Llandudno Junction farmer who quit dairying for window cleaning because it paid more!
Knife-wielding window cleaner may face jail. A Millom (NW UK) window cleaner who brandished a kitchen knife in front of a female police officer at his daughter’s 21st birthday has been warned he could go to prison. Mr Gibson said: “The last time he had a drink was on Boxing Day 2006 when he was arrested for disorderly behaviour so as soon as he had this coke with the Bacardi in it, he went loopy.”
