 i had three car washing spots near me & overnight they all disappeared . the one i used would charge £20 for a full valet ,do a decent job too. all Rumanian so was wondering if they were asked to leave.

You are aware that non-essential shops are not allowed to be open, right?

[raywilb]

,

yes but they were all busy up to quite recently , guess they have been told to .stop

[Raeturbo]

Apparently they can be fined up to 10 grand for opening before given the go ahead.

I was speaking to a director of a building company recently who is tearing his hair out be cause he has very few bricklayers.
Most of the ones he did have are at home in Romania, being paid furlough courtesy of HM Treasury, and have no intention of coming back until furlough ends.
Could be similar for carwash workers ?

It used to be the case that these hand car washes were used for money laundering. Think about it, you've got X amount of money from doing something dodgy and you need to clean (excuse the pun) the money, you run it through a car wash. No one knows how many cars attend in a day. Feed hooky money through the car wash and you get shiny, legal money.

[Mr Skrunts]

When they all return I want to use the charity car wash that Jimbob went to.

We still talk about that!  One day it may return, hope the girls have aged well

Quite possible. Also slave labour right under peoples noses.

I think all the ladies on OOF should consider doing us a charity bikini car wash

I would imagine an armed response unit and possibly the SAS would descend on the car wash if it had scantily clad young ladies as an attraction now.
The world has changed quite a bit in a few short years.

If not that, then certainly the leftie hate mob would arrive on mass.
