Re: Moans, groans, grunts and wheezes...
I'm just thinking that having a car "professionally" washed by hand costs around 20 euros or more sometimes,( external washing plus interiors hoovering) and I believe is around 6-7 if you go for the automatic one,only external; at least where I live..
I think it's a good idea, why shouldn't they tip him fairly? they wouldn't even have the hassle to take the car out...and plus they 're neighbors so he's not a total stranger

Might try that excuse with my OH

Re: Moans, groans, grunts and wheezes...
......Your OH is actually right...
I've just found this article:
http://www.allaguida.it/articolo/lav...r-molto/27933/
It's because detergents used are not 100% biodegradable...and only car wash have double drainage for water...
But I'm not sure this law is enforced everywhere, probably in big cities...
It happened I washed my car in my courtyard in the past, and I think it's quite common...
Probably better to avoid to do that in public streets....but still should be ok in private residential parking lots hopefully...

Hmm it would probably be on the street here as all our neighbours have garages under their houses and not 'off road' parking as such and seeing as someone phoned the local police when one of our neighbours was burning garden waste last summer, I think someone would probably call the police....

yes no-one does here either... I just assumed that maybe it wasn't allowed or that most Italians take them to those big car-washing centres that you see around here. I've never seen those in the UK... normally just a car wash or jet wash at a petrol station...

If we had a dog I am sure that would also get a hose down every so often

Not really, I've just lived there for the past three years before moving back to Italy
