Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb
I must remember not to park round the corner, under that particular tree. The tree seems to house the world's most incontinent birds. They did a real number on my car (the number being 2).
Still, not a problem. There's a jet wash round the corner. High pressure hoses make short work of birdshit. I have a few other things to do but it should be a quick job. So I drove around the block, and found that the last turning has no right turn. Or left turn. I can only go straight. That's the last direction I want to go. That road would take me into town and there's no turning off! And the traffic lights seemed to be taking forever!
One three point turn later, I take a different exit, and find that the garage is being rebuilt or refurbished or whatever. So, I turn round again and hunt a jetwash. I thught perhaps the esso along narborough road would have one. I really wanted to get this small task out of the way so I was a little impatient. For some reason, every other driver decided that they should drive 15mph below the speed limit. As it turned out there was no jetwash there. I headed for the M1. Surely a big motorway service station would have a jetwash. The slow driving virus had affected people here as well. Also, when are those damn roadwarks going to be finished!? So does the motorway service station have a jetwash?
Nope.
I looked it up on my phone. I found an address. According to google, there is one jetwash in the whole of Leicester. I headed down there as fast as possible. This turned out to involve crawling through some roadworks, but evenutally I got there. And they had a jetwash. So I went in to ask for a code or a token. "Nope". Why not? "It's coin operated".
So a 15 minute job took me abpout an hour.
But at least it's done now. And my tyres are pumped up.
