    Looking at the video (20 secs in), one of them is on Pontefract Road opposite The Mount.

    If you look on google street view it matches with yellow barrier, blue wall and settee outside.

    It was under new management when google street car took its pictures in May 2018.

    I’ve got the loyalty card for there and it’s full so it was a free wash I’ll miss out in

    Free car wash or people being saved from modern slavery? It’s a tough choice.

    Having read the article. I suspect the abuse is rife. How many car washes do we drive by and none are wearing protective clothing. I guess some employers would provide it and tell the employees it'll have to come out of their wages. How many of them would argue. Be interesting to know what happens to the tips.

    You might not ever get rich, but let me tell you it’s better than digging a ditch

    Is the other one the Cudworth one? I’m only basing this on the belief they have the same logo on their signs and cards?

    Many of these places (not all mind) are also a haven for money laundering and drug money washing - it’s all cash innit! The car washing element is 2nd to what the real business is. Having said that, I did use the Oakwell one quite a bit and it was generally the best in town.

    I thought it could well be the Cudworth one cos he says they’re approximately 4 miles apart.
