Hope prices don't go up

True, but if its collected in a butt, that stuff falls to the bottom,so you take the water from the top.

I should probably hook my water butt up to a drainpipe.. shame there are no appropriately positioned drainpipes, really. I could at least use it to re-fill the pond in the summer instead of paying to keep the glorified goldfish (that we inherited with the house) alive

And when you rinse your cloth in it, all the rust from your car sinks to the bottom.

Hence the over-complex system of float switches, relays and pumps that fills mine.

Who rattled your fickin chain ? 
Actually, when using the two bucket method you wouldnt believe the amount of dirt that ends up in the bottom of the rinse bucket. Using a single bucket, this stuff would be getting rubbed all over the paintwork.

[Kevin Wood]

.. and I wonder how many cars the Kosovans wash on each bucket?

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

From what Ive seen sitting in Sainsburys car park, while swmbo does the shopping, quite a few. 

[STEMO]

No buckets involved in our Eastern European car washes. Proper bays with high, Perspex sides for the initial blow off and soapy sponge, next bay for rinse, then on to wipe dry, wax, air line the excess from mirrors, etc., tyre shine, interior windows, smiley smelly and that will be £5 please.
If you are in a bad mood, you can flog a slave round the back for an extra 2 quid. 

All in all, a much more efficient and cleaner way to do it. Unless you are an old fart who likes Jacob Rees Mogg and his ilk.

It actually has a sign up there saying no omegas and the like allowed as the pressure washer is likely to blow effing big holes in the sills and rear wings.

Ah...the minister for the 19th century.

I'd pay him a one and a tanner to wash my car. If he does a poor job I have the right to put my boot up his arse.

I would have thought a more appropriate 19th century punishment would have been to deport him to Australia. If you really want the punishment to include soul destroying hard labour, then put him in the Ashes playing England cricket team where they have to continuously play Australia for the duration.

Agreed, but because I reckon the queue would get too long for the "boot up the @rse" option.

[BazaJT]

Wouldn't playing cricket for England come under "cruel and unusual punishment" even for him                              


What am I saying of course it wouldn't

[Mr Gav]

These MP's want to mind their own business

Being poor I wash my own cars.

You pay the 'illegals' £4 a pop to clean the Astra.

Being sensible I also wash my own car, who knows what shit they use to get the dirt off, at least I know it's getting done right when I do it.
