We had two young lads (probably 13/14) knock on the door yesterday to ask if we wanted the car cleaned. My knee jerk reaction to anyone asking for stuff at the door is 'No', but having a teen myself and knowing how difficult it is to earn pocket money I said yes.


They were super polite, very thorough and did a great job (they brought all their own cleaning stuff, I just supplied the hose and water), £10 they were charging - I gave them £15 as they did such a great job and its important to encourage kids who are prepared to get off their backsides to earn a few quid.


If they knock your door (I'm on Dovedale road), do give them a chance - and if either of their parents are on here, if the lads want a regular car washing gig, pop round in a couple of weeks.


All the best

Fair play . I did this when I was around that age many years ago . Bloody hard work . Most kids are still good kids . I was in Macdonald's walworth road the other week . Load of school kids hanging around in the queue .. many with that ridiculous arrangement with their trousers hanging half way down their legs . This old lady walked in .. they literally cleared a way for her and let her through to get served first . It was really nice to see.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
