I picture you waving your fiver above your head, chasing them around the car park, dropping mud and soaps along the way. You end up pushing the bike at them to knock 'em over before stamping your feet, screaming and DEMANDING they hose you down and scrub you clean IMMEDIATELY!
Hee!!
Y'see this is where I KNOW I was a bloke in a previous life: I see NOTHING wrong (in fact, it's perfectly
acceptable) to clean bikes/strip down engines in the comfort of the living room. It's warm and dry, y'have cups of tea
and the TV within easy reach and the coffee table makes a handy tool bench. OK, I need to get a tarp or ground sheet for the sake of the carpet (locals newspapers are
rubbish at catching oil/mud/muddy oil splats) but that just means Mum and I will have to do a trip to B&Q on Saturday...
(If I dare go DIY/techie/horsie shopping without my 77 year old Mum, I never hear the end of it!!)

I was born with shallow joints, so while that makes me extremely flexible, I tend to semi-dislocate alarmingly easily. I managed to push my
jaw out of joint while asleep last week...
Ow!!!
