Is this the same people, does anybody know?


My car is in dire need of a wash - I'm not that fussy, but it hasn't been washed since the Dust Incident :))

Oops? new shysters in charge??? Car park given over again to a new lot running the car wash so back to a lack of parking and a cold shower for supporters!!! It's all about money at the end of the day.

New people - less staff - too slow - don't look like they know what they're doing. Bring back the last team - they were the best in the area. Tried the place on Denmark Hill - too slap dash, low quality, badly organised. Definitely a gap in the market for a well run, quick, good quality car wash.

Same here.


ETA: Not that my car gets washed very frequently :))

i have spoken to the old owner and he has set up in essex somewhere.... a bit too far...


spoken to the new guys and he said that there will be a lot more people working as of next week....


only live down the road so use them all the time... but they will have to hot up on detail as they are not in the same league when it comes to detail and cleanliness.... but maybe they were just getting tired and could be erradicated with more staff....

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
