Nothing like that here either.
Although we're close enough to Essex that it might have acted as a buffer :)

Gave the Subaru a real good clean inside & its come up a treat, the young lad that used to valet it every couple of months has moved to Norfolk with his fiancée, so it's up to me now, the cash I save I can now spend on beer🍺🍺🍺

Used hers to go into Brumingham on Thursday, as it avoids the emissions charges.  I wonder if she will notice the lack of fuel in it now ;D


(Mind you, it managed 67mpg on the way, but a less impressive 49mpg on the way back - I was in a hurry after getting stuffed on the Expressway, then the M6 had 2 lanes shut, which meant I hit the M42 at a bad time)

I have to take mine to a Jag meet next weekend.  Little chance I'll wash it beforehand.  I should win a prize for most unpolished jaaaaaagggg ever to attend a meet.

Purchased a pressure washer to give the Alabama Mumsybus a decent bath. Also required to knock the detritus off the patio.

I did my patio a few weeks back (with one of those circular pressure washer attachments), it always surprises me at the difference it makes :y

Can't say I've done the car recently ;D
