Does anyone know what has happened to the car wash on the corner of penistone road/leppings lane?
It was closed today, which must be a first!!

Perhaps they had a visit from 1 Dept of work & pensions, 2 immigration, 3 Health & safety at work,dont see any other reason to close & throw money away.

It was closed yesterday afternoon too ..i had to laugh this morning ..when i passed this women had drove in there and was sat in her car waiting:D ..lol..

If you travel about a mile up the road, theres a much better one at Grenoside, opposite the Old Red Lion pub:thumbsup:

Then you'll be able to tell us why they're closed PeteC.

Oh...dear:rolleyes:

I drove past yesterday around 11.30am and there were around half a dozen cop cars parked on the fourcort. they were not waiting for a wash and go!

They didn't appear to be brits the last time I drove past, and how exactly do you know they pay their taxes?

Do the Police use this car wash?

I must admit i was impressed with the jobs they did, and if the police use them, that must be an endorsement of the quality of work.


One has to ask the question "is this a good use of police time?" half a dozen police cars waiting for a car wash, when the place has been closed down.

WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I'D HAVE WANTED THE POLICE? OR BEEN A VICTIM OF CRIME?

I would have rang 999, and the operator would have said "I'm sorry sir, all the police have taken their cars to the car wash"

NOT GOOD USE OF POLICE RESOURSES

And if you'd actually read the post, instead of going off half-cocked and making a fool of yourself, you'd have seen where simonr said:

Police stations have their own jetwashes, or buckets and sponges in some cases.

err have you actually read the post regarding the police being there??? what the person is saying is that the police were NOT having their cars washed, they were there for other means... or are you yet another person that likes any excuse to have a go at the police.

Surely this fella meant this to be a joke? I found it funny !

guess it's down to him to explain.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to tell sometimes - that's why God gave us smileys :)

It MUST to be for a laugh, or am I reading it wrong.

it suggests to me that HE has read it wrong and is using it as an attempt at having a dig at the police.

Is it a good use of tax payers money for the police to take their cars to be washed at these establishments ? and in such large groups?

are you always a racist ****? or is it thursday's only?

FYI they are british born and all pay their taxes - i know most of themTheir English is pretty poor if they are English born from what I've experienced in there. If they from EU there isn't a problem though.

1, you havn't aswered whether you thought the police cars were there for police reasons or to be washed.

2, believe it or not the police do wash their cars.... i know! its crazy isnt it! i mean WHO do the police think they are wanting to drive around in clean cars! it's not as if they have a public image to maintain is it!! it's not as if people like YOU would complain at seeing dirty cars. i can hear you now.. "bloody hell i saw a filthy police car today, i mean theyre meant to be here for us and present an image or authority and protection. how can they do that when they cant even clean their cars!"

3, if you had actually READ the previous post, it states that the police have jet washers that they clean the vehicles with.

i strongly suggest you check your facts and read the questions before responding because you've made youself look stupid twice on this thread now.

I think you're getting a bit too uppity about this one Joe.:rolleyes:

Was that a plane above? - oh no just the sarcasm flying straight over your head *whoosh*


:thumbsup:

So, after 22 replies and a great deal of rubbish, still no answer to my question!!

I think its safe to assume that the Police cars spotted were not having their cars washed, as they have their own carwashes in the station yards! (fact)

Would anyone care to comment further on the original question asked?? :|

if so then its only taken two years to work it out coz thats how long its been open!!!!!!

if so then its only taken two years to work it out coz thats how long its been open!!!!!!There were some on Kirkstall Rd in Leeds where that happened for those reasons. They are open again as will the Penistone Rd one be for sure.

Has anyone stopped to think, maybe the police mistook the place for a Petrol Staition. After all, I do believe that the place was a Petrol Station, before it became a car wash

Perhaps what happened, one police car drove in. Realised these was no Petrol being sold, radioed to his colleagues (as his car ran out of petrol) and thats why there were 6 police cars there. They had all brought some petrol in a plastic container. ???

It's open again this morning. No police cars getting washed today.:rolleyes:

They may do in the Future. Do they need to go in such large numbers :rolleyes:

They they would need statements, witnesses, administrators, solicitors, cps etc to decide whether or not to have the full wash and wax or just the ordinary soap and water job. Some crimes even need a victim too.

according to radio sheffield yesterday morning they were done for having fake documents being here illegaly and other things

are you always a racist ****? or is it thursday's only?

Its seems youve given us the answer in one post desy. I was interested as I live in S6, and go past this place every day. I thought it would be something like that. :thumbsup:

I went in there a while ago,the guy I spoke to had very understanding of the English language,as for taxes I cant comment

It was open today with about 8 cars queuing outside for a wash.

(How do you spell queueueueuing???)

From a very good source, Ive been told it was closed for unknown reasons,but is now open again.

A pretty crap source if you ask me! I know nothing and could have told you the reason was unknown. Does that make me a very good source?

Crikey only 8 cars waiting for a Car Wash, god help anyone who needed the Police.

Is this not a clear example of Police Time and resources not being put to its best use?

DISGRACE

The "joke" is a bit stale now johnphillip.
