Growler will testify that my car is filthy. I decided it ought to have a bath. THere are none of those robot car washes anymore. WHat there are instead are dozens of "We wash your car for £4" places, run entirely by Poles and the like.
They work like devils and the car comes out looking like new eeek: I might go for the £15 full valet rubschin:
Is this a national phenomenon?

Yup!
That they do less damage to the car is a plus :thumbsup:

razz: Raaaasssspppppppp!

You have been chattering to that Mrs TipoGipo too much noooo:
Or her eldest
-
No but I do always wash the continent off me car in Coquelles before I get on the ferry home, I also fill up on cheap French diesel in the filling station next door.
The Auto Lavage is on the road between the Auchan hypermarket (where I buy wine & cheese) and the Tabac (where I stock up on fags and baccy). Much cheaper that getting either on the ferry ;D
-
PS I can also list every decent toilet stop between Calais and Venlo ...... but that's 'cos I have been doing the trip almost annually since 1970 with kids in the car.

Coquelles and mussuelles alive, alive-o angel1

Oh Yes! cloud9:
Moules Marinières and a bottle of Chablis here ....... Le Sole Meunière, 1 Boulevard de la Résistance, Calais ....... and it's not far from the Lavage whistle:

Coquelles and mussuelles alive, alive-o angel1

Would you two like to get a private room ?

They tend to operate on the supermarket/retail park car parks here. They did mine on Wednesday, £5 and it's spotless, not a fly/bug anywhere, wheels shiny new, and it looked like they'd black-walleded the tyres too. Down here they're not Poles though, they are all black. A female colleague once stopped me in my tracks when she suggested it was cos they had bigger hands and longer arms so it doesnt take as long ;D

Looks like a local franchise hereabouts. All have the same blue and yellow signs and operate off garage forecourts and bits of wasteground

I expect she is extrapolating from her own experience. eyes:
They are all Eastern European, but not Poles I think, in Newbury.
They charge extra for mine, something to do with mud on the roof and poo caked underneath.
It's a good job though, lasts for hours.
