Just back from the hand carwash. It’s really just about the only place left that brings us all together. It’s all there, all of contemporary British society, from the Bentleys (yes) to the beaten-ups (mine). All ages, White retired in the Prius, Black graphic designery lady in the primary colour Mini, Ali entrepreneur-type in the swasticar with the personal plate, families in SUVs, roofers getting the van spruced for the week ahead. The humble hand carwash possibly creates more unity and utility than most other institutions left in this country.

And y’know what? These places are mostly run by the same Eastern Europeans against whom the UK turned when it lost its collective mind and left the EU.

Thank you to our Eastern European friends for not leaving us and creating the one place where we still come together

Picture shows a colour photo of a humble roadside hand carwash and petrol station. It’s not the most beautiful picture you’ll see on here TBF.
