Early this morning we walked past the Brockley Best Hand Car Wash and saw a chap (the owner of said car wash) watering his prize tomatoes, corn and aubergines with a hosepipe on the bit of land on the corner. What was mad was when we were walking past 20 minutes later he was still there happily watering away.

We spoke to the chap who was a lovely bloke and he said “Everyone can have a patch like mine, isn’t yours like this?” pointing to the vegetable bed. I think the Weeds garden would be like that if we watered it with the same amount he used on them but we’re too afraid of Thames Water. Talking of which, we’d hate to see his water bill!
