The car wash at Sainsbury's / Champion Hill has always been great for me - friendly, helpful staff and a good job, but I've just seen this thread: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1918531


Worth keeping an eye out for schools / charities / local sports groups doing fundraising car washes.


Or get a mobile valet company out and support a local business.

Are you in Mauritania? The labour's cheaper than the mineral water.

Ditto

People who are rudely saying "do it yourself"....get a grip.


We all pay for other people to do services for us and also do jobs that provide services for other people. That's what makes the world go round.


Ever bought a sandwich rather than make one yourself?


Besides, some people may have physical reasons why washing their car could be difficult or impossible.


And even if they don't, they want someone to do a perfectly normal job for them.


Are you seriously having a go?!

Probably the same reason you are - it's ridiculous. simple

I agree with you. It would similar as trying to find a place for a manicure that didn?t have people trafficked into this country. There were recent raids done in Peckham after reports of women being trafficked..

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
