Or brick the window up and hang a picture of a blind, then simply dust it with a bit of polish once a week.

Re: Things that annoy you!

Why not try:

Magic Blackout Blinds

https://www.magicblackoutblind.co.uk/



10 perforated A1 blackout blind sheets on a roll

Magic Blackout Blind sheets are easy to tear off & can be cut to fit most standard window sizes.

Easy to fit, easy to remove when not required.

Peels off glass & can be reused.

Every morning the folks are treated to a display behind frosted glass of Spitty toweling down, after 24 years, there has been no crowd funding for blinds.

Top Tip No.361B:
Never attempt to vaccuum your Venetian blinds whilst having a bath. Read a good book instead

I agree Floydy, nakedness and hoover pipes just don't mix..... well sometimes perhaps.

Christmas music piped into shops. Couldn't get out of Iceland fast enough today to escape the endless dross and banality of Christmas carols.
