Tongue in cheek of course - we have one and it's taken a fair amount of muck off our garden walls, paint and concrete as well as moss etc...

Then again I might have been suggesting a part exchange for the dog...:eek:

I did try the local car wash, but he kept jumping off the car when the brushes started up.
I hope you didn't say to the nurse you had sticky willie seeds all over your top, they just wouldn't understand.

The hose pipe didn't get close, so it was a carry upstairs and straight in the bath, the water went instantly black, there was sticky Willie seed heads floating on the water from his coat, grit, other stuff I had no idea about. I know how to have fun me!.

Max has his own personal outdoor shower. We have a tap just inside the garage fed from a mixer valve ( not too hot, not too cold) with a short length of garden hose on it and a shower head.

Today's subject is windows, taken on a trip to Sheffield and the Peak District. I had my first job at Sheffield University in 1972, had only been back briefly till this visit in 2008. Still basically the same city in a lovely setting but now with a metro which I travelled from end to end on my bus pass!

Couple of doors in here too.

1 I used to have a flat on the upper floor of this building in 1972. Originally the local police station, it became a dentist's. The surgeries were downstairs in the old cells with tunnel vaulted brick ceilings and heavy barred doors! I think the words "Police Station" have been chiselled out above the doorcase.
2 Side door of the building above
3 Pub near the university. I spent a lot of time in here! The elaborate roof at top left is on the old church next door which is now the university's Drama Studio
4 University building
5 Indian restaurant, Glossop road. In my day this was a lovely old fashioned grocer, Mr Pollard's, where you could buy loose tea and other goodies
6 Park House flats, a landmark on the hill behind the railway station, hailed as revolutionary when opened in 1961 and listed grade II* in 1998. The largest listed building in Europe. Undergoing renovation which is why you can see right through parts of it.
7 Hyde Park flats, taken from the Metro train. Another very large block of flats
8 Wetherspoons, Hillsborough - used to be a swimming baths
9 House at Bradfield, in the Peak District near Sheffield

Thanks, it is a pretty picture isn't it? Don't think they use that gate, I think there is a way to the door from the parking area/back yard which is on the LHS out of shot.
