The wages would most probably outweigh the revenue generated. When we have an open day, we clean every car that is on display. That is usually around 50 cars for a team of 6 - 10 people, so we are busy to say the least.

And it showed (the cleaning I meant).

Insurance kills all sorts of things, because people claim like maniacs.

"Oh, I just tripped. I'll sue them for million."

Yes, there's legitimate claims. However, we are all paying the price for frivolous ones.

In any case, I can't fault Bowdens policy. What they are doing works - why stuff around with it?

Cheers
