mackay 3,054 Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Sold my hilux yesterday so when I was cleaning it out to go I thought feck it I'll run it up to the local car wash. I think they are albanian and if they are I now know a lot of albanian swear words. Anyway, drives in and immediately in a queue people in front, people behind and another row of cars to the right hand side, so basically committed (trapped). Got off to a bad start, up to the window comes this guy with a mullet, a milky eye and a seriously bad attitude. How much I asks, 15 pounds he says, nearly stalls the car, don't bother says I. Kicks off gets heated and after a lot of effing and blinding and because I wanted to get to fcuk we settled on a tenner. Three points to this story, 1, when the fcuk did it become 15 quid to get a pickup washed?. 2, how much money is really out there if folk can afford it? and three after the scenario it's obvious the fcukers are only interested in your money and don't like being told no, why the hell are we financing these scroates?, are we really too lazy to wash our own cars. We're not being invaded, we're inviting them in. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best let the new owner of the Hilux know the truck may have come with a hit squad, and to be particularly vigilant incase of an approaching mullet complete with milky eye 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
