'wash and brush up'
I'm trying to think where and when I last saw one of those notices. Weren't they outside public lavs in seaside resorts?

I don't recall ever seeing one, Dostaf.
Was it in the olden days?

They may have been on price lists outside lavs. I remember wondering what a brush up would actally entail. Before en suite reached places like Rhyl I think.

Speaking of lavs, these always remind me of home.
No. I don't live in a public lav either .

I thought Aitch might've rigged up his own Wigan Wallgate, Jacqueline.
Living in a public lav would cramp your lobbing bog rolls training, Dostaf.
[That company would wash their hands of us, or dry at least - their basin Wiltshire is a fair way from Wigan.]
I wonder if Wallgate have a BOGOF offer.

aitch's hairdrier gets more and more interesting jl.
Living in a lav jo anne? what about the smell?
(cue skunk smuggling joke punchline)
They have Wallgate handwasher (machine, not Wiganer) in the lavs on the car park near Blackpool tower.
Part of the original railway station.

Safety first aitch. If you're suppin, leave the drier alone. The drink could affect your aim.
Drink often affects some folk's aim.

I though a "wash and brush up" was a modified bidet.

It would be a good name for a Fox grooming salon

There was a wash and brush up in the Gents lav at the Ribble Bus Station on the Market Suare in the 1950's.
I forget how much it cost but it gave you access to a private cubicle with a hand baisin and a mirror.

Cheers jodav.
I'm sure I've seen them, or the signs advertising them (not necessarily in Wigan), in the late '70's. Often wondered if they'd be used by long-distance lorry drivers etc.

Sorry to disappoint blc. Not a set up. Just an ablution enquiry.
I think I'm slightly more subtle than Clarkson.
As far as your driver question, I'll take the fifth. (amendment not wheel.)
