Question by Jessica G: Should you wear a suit to a business meeting to buy a car wash?
In London, an interview and possibility of a large sum of money to be exchanged. It is for a car wash franchise though. So do you think a suit should be worn?

Best answer:

Answer by sophieb
yes it does depend which country you’re in and even in which state you live in as in the US, and it depends on which time of year. How about a casual suit, like you’d have a polo shirt on and could take your jacket off if needed.

Rum Point, Cayman Islands


Image by jocountry2009
A little Island music for your enjoyment (I love this song!)

Shabba Ranks & Krystal – Twice My Age

Having been to the Cayman Islands many times, this is my absolute favourite spot. Much nicer (in my humble opinion) then Seven Mile Beach.

It is a little off the beaten path and you would be best to rent a car/scooter but it is definately worth the drive.

For those who are interested in reading more

If you`re looking to escape somewhere off the beaten track then look no further than Rum Point; Grand Cayman`s very own slice of paradise. Located on the North side of the island its natural beauty, white sandy beaches and azure waters are a popular hang-out for locals looking to unwind. For travellers it`s a relatively untouched delight that always offers a hammock to relax in, great food, a welcoming atmosphere and, for the more active, a wide choice of water sports.

This beautiful public beach is a 40 minute car drive from George Town or you can take a bus from the nearest bus-stop located in North Side. Although many visitors opt to take a private boat across to Rum Point so they can marvel at the sights of the approaching coastline. Once at the beach there are plenty of free benches, hammocks and sun loungers to commandeer for a day of ultimate relaxation. For those that prefer a quiet spot out of the sun`s glare there are shaded areas under the island`s swaying Casuarina trees. Toilets are also provided free of charge so there are plenty of amenities for all the family.

Once you`ve had your fill of the sun, take a dip in the warm, shallow sea where you can walk out quite a way before it gets too deep. The clear waters make it an ideal snorkelling and diving spot for lovers of marine life. For other activities Red Sail Sports run a Water Sports Centre at Rum Point that caters for all the excitement you could need. You can hire Jet Skis, paddle boats, wave runners and take water skiing lessons. There is also a glass bottom boat that takes regular excursions out to spot the huge sting rays living nearby.

Legend has it that Rum Point earned its name from the barrels of rum that would wash up on the shore when rum smuggling schooners ran into trouble at sea. Nowadays the rum still flows freely in the fabulous eateries such as the Wreck Bar. The reasonably priced menu offers a range of lunch dishes, such as the Blackened Mahi Mahi and is renowned for its Frozen Mudslide cocktails. If you fancy a more sophisticated lunch, the Rum Point Club offers a classy dining experience in Grand Cayman`s only show kitchen while looking out over views of the ocean. The restaurant is decorated with local art and has a mouth watering selection of sea food caught by local fisherman daily.

1965 Lewis’s Department Store Bristol


Image by brizzle born and bred
image above Real photograph of Lewis Department Store Bristol in 1965.

1955 Bristol had watched the two giants take shape alongside each other on the Horsefair BS1 . . . the two swish department stores that would put Bristol back on the map as the region’s top shopping centre. There was the "ocean liner-shaped" Lewis’s complete with its exciting plans for a roof garden overlooking central Bristol and its huge neighbour Jones.

Lewis’s was later taken over by John Lewis (no relation)

We look back at Broadmead’s top store of the 1960s

Never mind the confusion in 1980 when the John Lewis Partnership moved in (and then on to Cribbs Causeway), to most Bristolians it’s always been Lewis’s – Broadmead’s shopping mecca.

After the store had opened its doors in 1957, the Portland stone building with the appearance of an ocean liner became the reason for visiting Broadmead.

Despite the company’s northern roots it was felt that a big store like Lewis’s would bring a touch of sophistication to the bomb- damaged city.

Just like television’s Grace Brothers, it sold virtually everything you could want – from washing machines to Wilton carpets, wool to wine gums.

Advertisements claimed the store would “challenge comparison with any in the world”.

And to add to the excitement, Lewis’s departments offered a brand new shopping experience – self-selection.

Eight storeys high and air conditioned, Lewis’s had taken three years to build and one year to fit out.

Situated in a commanding position – the gateway to Broadmead – the building had cost a cool £3 million, a lot of money in those days.

Before it opened, 3,000 people applied for the 800 jobs on offer.

On the first day an estimated 100,000 people swarmed through the store’s 200 departments.

Many had queued all night.

Just to add to the fun, Lewis’s had nine lifts (with attendants) and 10 escalators.

And on the sixth floor, customers would find a roof garden with fountains and a restaurant where you could relax and look out over the city.

After Lewis’s arrived, Bristolians started flocking into town in droves.

It was the place to shop.

But many older residents – those who had shopped in Castle Street/Wine Street before the war – were wary of this brash northern newcomer.

Others feared that, with Jones’s department store (it’s now Debenhams) already operating nearby, the city might become “over-shopped”.

And because it had been built over a plague burial pit (in fact, part of St James’s cemetery), the store was rumoured to be haunted.

But, once established, Lewis’s turned into an unqualified success.

Who could resist the wonderful food department on the ground floor, which sold such unheard of exotica as pumpernickel and, wait for it, poppadoms?

On the same floor you could buy photo equipment, jewellery, gloves, haberdashery, stockings, tobaccos and perfumery.

The basement, which contained the household department, was a handyman’s DIY haven.

The upper floors provided a wonderful array of luxury goods – a huge stock of furniture, carpets, television and radio sets.

People said it was like being in paradise.

Boasting the largest fashion display in the city, Lewis’s had more than 50 fitting rooms.

And in the children’s department, the baby section featured pink hide chairs arranged beside the counters so customers could sit in comfort.

There was also a bank (with a special low counter for children), a library, a guinea hat bar and a men’s hairdressing shop, where a short back and sides would cost you two shillings and sixpence (25p).

Lewis’s also became the place to dine, with the Pageant restaurant and cafe on the fourth floor always busy.

But the piéce de rèsistance was the roof garden restaurant with its snug red chairs, fountain, pool, rose beds and climbers tumbling over timber trellises.

Protective glass walls surrounded the garden which commanded views of the entire city to the Dundry hills and beyond.

Plaques on the handrails indicated particular points of interest.

As Lewis’s intended, it was the perfect spot for weary shoppers to enjoy a relaxing tea or coffee amid the green leaves, flowers and soft summer breezes.

Lewis’s demanded high standards from its employees, but nobody was complaining – pay and conditions were better than in most other stores.

Junior staff were issued with meal tickets which entitled them to a full lunch for just sixpence, and afternoon tea for just threepence.

Throughout the Sixties business boomed for Lewis’s.

Customers loved the gimmicks – the “smasher day sales”, fashion shows, competitions and especially the live models who would lie on a large bed in the windows.

But times were a-changing.

As car ownership became the norm so competition sprang up in the shape of superstores and out-of-town shopping.

By the 1970s, Lewis’s overheads were spiralling. Staff levels were cut to 400, plus 100 part-timers, and many departments, including the roof garden, were closed.

In 1980, Lewis’s sold out to the John Lewis Partnership (a totally different company with a different name) in a £7 million deal.

It was a sad day and, as they say, the end of an era.

Since then the flagship building has been home to Bentalls and House of Fraser.

Budget clothing store Primark will be moving in shortly.

Do you have any memories of Lewis Department Store?

hand car wash uk

This is the first time in quite a while that I’ve come across a car wash with an attendant. I avoided the wash option that included a hand prep to keep the video shorter and more interesting, though. Supposedly, these car wash systems are becoming quite rare because they are very easily damaged by bad drivers.
