What? the place near Halfords where the petrol station used to be?

Well, whether or not any were illegal immigrants will have to be seen.
If any were, there should be quite a few posters on here with egg on their faces after the "there can't be any, it's on a main road!!" statements that were aired last time this place was mentioned.

I'm personally not saying I do or don't think they were illegals, it's just that the above statement was a stupid point to make.

Someone posted a topic on here that they were suspicious about this the other month.

I seem to recall prior to that they 'allegedly' employed kids cash in hand, much like many other carwash services nationwide

No different just a change in the market, scrotes are too good for car washing these days - so somebody else filled the gap in the market. Not that I agree with it but there wouldn't be such a 'curfuffal' about it if it was dole "bludgers nabbed for cash in hand antics."

hmm seems interesting as my cousin yous't to work their before they had illegal imigrants, but now every car wash place like this seems to have them, easy money.

they dont only wash cars there though , they sell cars, there might have been something a bit fishy going on with that. i have took my car there a few times but i wont go again cause they were rubbish and ignorant and never smiled or said thank you when they snatched your money out of your hand.

It was me the other month, Cant find the link tho lol Sorry?

Ive drove past late at night and seen them all sat inside at about 12 oclock watching TV at night ! They live there as well as work there!

And yes it was the classic "Its on a main road they cant be that obvious" Its called a double bluff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like someone did make a complaint!!!!! Good on Them!

Can't have been too bad cos they are open as usual today??

It was only a matter of time: the ones in the north of the city were raided a few months ago looking for illegal immigrants etc.

Could have been an upset customer. I went there the other day and they did a rather poor job on my car. I won't be going back. Bring back the one at the end of Peniston Road

SIX suspected failed asylum seekers have been arrested as part of a police crackdown on illegal immigrants working at car washes across South Yorkshire.
The men - four Iraqis and two Iranians - were arrested when police swooped on a car wash on Queens Road, close to the junction of Chesterfield Road.

Their employer, a British citizen, was arrested on suspicion of knowingly employing illegal workers.

lalaland · 25-04-2007, 13:54

No, I'm the one that made a comment and in the same post apologised and explained why I put it. I also included a smiley to show my post was in humour rather than a dig but sadly some people jumped on it and took a thread(s) off topic

Pity the other thread was erased. You could have asked them for apologies

As I've said earlier on this thread, the comment more than one person made that they couldn't employ illegals because it was on a main road was plain stupid. Wonder how many keep quiet now??
