    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
    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.

    They do the whole road, oddly I thought it was rather expensive......well they did it every 2 weeks which I thought was overkill, got them to do it once a month now

    Not sure they are the same. DIY and repairs takes some skill which I am very happy to rely on a professional for. Car washing requires infrastructure and storage space for this equipment.

    However, I have had the opportunity to re-examine my attitudes and came to the realisation I have outlined to you.
    Actually, there's no better way to prompt such an awakening than to be rescued by an AA man a few times as you sit stranded and pathetically helpless like a small child in a shopping centre that's lost its parents.

    I f*cking love the AA.

    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:
