The world's fastest window cleaner, Terry Burrows, has taken a swipe at London mayor Ken Livingstone over his traffic congestion charge.

The £5-a-day levy may cost window cleaners their jobs, says Terry, of South Ock-endon, who has rewritten George Formby's classic When I'm Cleaning Windows.

His version says: "I go window cleaning, to earn an honest bob, now 'cos of old Ken Livingstone, I could lose me job."

Terry said: "As the manager of a small company, I feel this is just another stab in the back. The whole industry needs to rise up against this madness."

Terry began his record breaking-career ten years ago on LWT's You Bet, presented by Matthew Kelly.

After cracking another one on the BBC's Record Breakers, he went on to take seven world records.

He is forming a band called the Squee Gees and hopes to make a record of the musical kind to get his point across.
