i think by now we can all safely agree, look you see, that the threshold for what is "interesting" enough to feature on this blog might (might) be lower than the commonly accepted standard. basically, anything if not everything what comes to mind is, to me, good enough to post here and trouble some random readers with.
which is how we find ourselves, right here, right now, dealing with a blog post concerning one of them machines what washes cars and similar at petrol stations, both here in England, across the wider UK and indeed all around the planet. or "across" if you are one of them "flat earth" thinkers, i suppose.
should for some reason you or anyone wish to believe that the earth is flat rather than round, curved, oval, etc, well go for it. just that so far no one has given me any valid reason at all as to why "the powers that be" would lie and cover up the shape of our planet. what possible gain could there be from the expense of doing so? anyway, car wash.
if you are reading this in the hope that something unusual, interesting, peculiar, exotic or out of the ordinary happened at the car wash, no. the above is an image of the machine doing its thing, and that is about as interesting as this will all get. well, sure, there is a video down below.
not that i have any quarrel or problem with car wash facilities, mind. far from it. they are smart, doing a useful, important and quick job. once upon a time you could rely on feral teenagers or other such urchins of the streets to earn money by going around offering to wash people's cars for them. alas, those days are no more, it seems.
a relatively recent selfie of me, for those of you what don't mind seeing me and further appreciate the occasional gander to see how i am doing? surely.
yes, that's me at a rather famous landmark, or if you like area, of this area, or just outside of it. indeed, looking at that, perhaps my beard could do with a trim of sorts. normally i wait for my Mum to see a relatively recent selfie and comment that i am looking "a bit scruffy" before i motivate myself to shave it, but in this instance i may well just go ahead and do it.
so, back to the car wash. yes, i had a vehicle what needed a wash, and so off i went. during the week, as it happened, for most car wash facilities have a lower price offer then. for some inexplicable reason a very popular thing to do here at weekends is take the family down the car wash. relatively cheap entertainment i suppose, if one is entertained by waiting for the machine to be free, then sitting in the vehicle brought to the car wash as the machinery does its thing.
and yes, here you can see some footage of the machine doing its thing.
oh! now that i think, yes i do have a semi (slightly) interesting story about a car wash. i suppose. kind of. many years ago, another time another place, someone who i worked with got very excited as they saw an advert for a "topless car wash" nearby. there was to be no stopping them, off they rushed at lunch to go and have their car washed, kind of. only to return frustrated and somewhat embarrassed, for the "topless" the proprietor of the car wash was making reference to turned out to be that they specialised in washing convertibles......
well, that's about that. if asked, i would say that i imagine it is unlikely the subject of car wash facilities will feature on this blog again, but i do not rule it out. until the next time, then,
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
