Default First roadrage, now I'm getting OLD!!!

Jesus wept, i went and cleaned my car today and after a bit i thought mmmh my front door looks dirty, next thing i know i'm powerhosing the PATH and brightening up the lovely Red, White and Blue PAVING STONES.

Luckily i caught myself on quick enough and wont be seen by the locals doing such OLD stuff anytime soon

dont worry, I have been cleaning the car with the pressure washer and just carried on before. Did the whole driveway, windows, guttering, even down to the pavement in front of the house. Luckily the hose couldnt go any futher or else I am sure I would have had a go at that annoying dirty patch in the middle of the road

Oh, God. I was cleaning the drive last month after sorting out the guttering, the front windows, garage door and ended up using the excess water that had accumulated on the road to clean the patch of crud that had been there for ages.

The neighbours were very grateful but did give me some peculiar looks when they saw me brushing the road....

Pressure washers are great, they clean one item really well but everything else is thick with grime after you have done !

I paid 25 quid for mine from B and Q, five years later its still going, gets dragged upside down, hosed and generally abused and I cant kill it.

Yeah, I clean the car with mine, look at the drive and think that it would look better without weeds growing out between the block paving... Next thing the car is covered with splattered body parts of dandelion etc.

It's a vicious circle I tell ya.
