Hi HanyGeorge,

This is a good question and Alan will probably answer it as soon as he returns from his stay in France.

Hi HanyGeorge,

The point about this advertisement is that the girl is more concerned about her car than the window cleaner. In other words she is worried not that the man will hurt himself if he falls but that he will fall on her car and damage it. She rushes out and the man thinks that she will help him and put the ladder back but in fact she moves her car away from him, ignores him and goes back inside. As a result the car (I have used these symbols **** in order not to advertise the make of the car) is safe - out of danger. The window cleaner is left hanging on to the window sill.

Hope this helps.

Alan
