Angry How am I supposed to wash my car in this crappy weather???

Finally got shampoo, clay, polish, wax and ready to go massage my car. Guess what. Weather turned typical British! Why???

And UK is probably the only country in the world where a flood warning can coincide with a drought warning.

It's droughting it down here in W Yorks too. I have one of my Demon Plates on but I've no chance today with my new rear smiley.

Tomorrow (Monday) looks like the only dry day for the coming week

Question

Apparently all this rain has actually made the drought worse.

Every time this happens I say I'm going to get a water butt then I find something more important to spend the money on...

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
