Plot
Norman is given a job as a window cleaner at a stately home by the Labour Exchange.
He quickly encounters young Sir Reginald, an obnoxious teenager who has an extremely over-protective mother. Due to Reginald's age, the estate is run by the pompous Major Willoughby.
The whole household must kowtow to Reginald. This is epitomised in an estate football match where everyone understands that Reginald must win but Norman doesn't understand this.
