How could I resist sharing this photo with you? It appears on the website of a North Kent estate agent, and depicts a garage that is available for sale at an advertised price of £7,500.
Did it make you smile, too?

Carwash Solution
Hello again!
After my previous blog we went back to the carwash and tried again, with great success.
See below!
And then we drove off to the local opticians...
:-(
PS Now we can see what an upside-down ticket really looks like!

Carwash
Kathy and I had a bit of bother today when we took our car to the carwash.
Just to set the scene, here's a photo that I took of the carwash in operation on another car while we were waiting our turn.
Our problem was with the green-faced box which you can see fixed to the wall on the left. It has a keyboard on its facia which enables a customer to enter a six-digit password. This starts the carwash. Simple!
We'd been given our six-digit password on a printed receipt when we had paid for the carwash.
Well, as soon as we had parked the car inside the carwash, Kathy whizzed off with the receipt to enter the password into the box on the wall, while I did mundane stuff like checking that all the windows were closed, unscrewing the car radio aerial, and pushing the wing mirrors in.
When I joined her, Kathy was still busily typing the password into the box on the wall. "It's not working!" she exclaimed,"And I've tried ten times!"
So I had a go. I entered the password. And nothing happened. And I tried again, and again, and again, with no result. A queue of cars was building up in the waiting area behind us, and some of the drivers started honking impatiently.
Time was ticking on, and we had an appointment to keep. So we decided to leave the carwash and return again tomorrow.
It was while we were waiting at the exit to turn into a busy road that I glanced into the rear view mirror. And I could see the carwash operating perfectly normally on the next car in.
I wonder why it wouldn't work for us? Have you had a similar experience? We'll try again tomorrow, but in the meantime, we'll be interested in your ideas!
