scratching your b*llocks while someone cleans your house makes you feel like an unmitigated c*nt? :-(
And curiously, I've found that when your cleaner is English, it feels that bit worse.

This will make you feel better about things.

I've become used to it. The problem lies in your own prejudice, of course. You see cleaning someone else's house as a demeaning thing to have to do because you are a snob. Your discomfort has its roots in your deep-seated contempt for anyone who performs what you see as menial tasks for money.
Were you simply to see it as a valid and worthwhile occupation and the person doing it as a hardworking individual deserving of your respect independent of what they do, your discomfort would vanish.
This is a fact.
No different than paying a person to wash your car or any other “menial” task which one chooses not to do through laziness or simply not being fúcking arsed. See also gardening tasks, home DIY or repairs and to a lesser degree internet shopping.
Quite often tasks one could complete but we choose not to and instead we choose to pay.
None of the above are looked down upon.
Why can't I find a decent carwash. None of the wons do a good job near me.
They rush the job, I appreciate them putting that black stuff on my wheels to make them shine.
but please clean the bird **** off.
I expect more for my £12 to be honest.
I feel weird sitting in the car whilst all these eastern european blokes clean my car
I was considering getting a cleaner but I was thinking I would have to go to the shop when they were there as I couldn't sit and watch someone clean my house. I'm quite lazy but I'm really not good at cleaning. I can't deal with toilets. I feel like I only do a half job and I need a professional.
I have no idea to be honest as I would imagine it is a year since we engaged such a chap.
We had a lad once, a god botherer, who only charged €20 but part of this deal was that I stood at the bottom of the ladder and steadied the thing as he ascended. Naturally what with me a) paying him and b) helping him this was not a long term agreement.
They're not really there to launder your car though, tbf. They are there to launder cash for their gangster owners.
The place at the bottom of Swains Lane has gone now, and so has the garage on Holloway road where you can hire a squirty thing to do it yourself. Hence the car is now right state. I will have to take it to the Kentish Town won which is a nuisance because of the traffic.
£4.50. What the fúck.
Do you live in one of these?

I remember a bit up from Highgate station.
Still won in Stroud Green Road the finsbury park station end. There is also one in the Esso in Hornsey Road.
But I wouldn't mind doing it my self don't seem to find many petrol stations with the hose anymore.
I could do it at home but I'd have to run a hose out the window and people will start moaning.
So I went to the carwash in Kentish Town. Decent enough job, I thought, without being an expert. Four blokes working very hard for about 20 mins cleaning outside and in for £13.50 seemed reasonable to me. Car nice and shiny for Ms A to drive her mum and sister around at the weekend. :browniepoints:
