You've created a monster! A good monster but a monster nonetheless!

Yesterday they forecast that rain would be somewhere in the UK today, so as my grass is parched and my 740 was dirty I washed it last night - and it worked today! A heavy shower just then so brushed off the small cherries that abound on the tree over my car (plus bird-droppings....) and the car looks fine again!

Strange though it seems, since i've started putting bread out for the local feathered fraternity, my cars have remained a lot cleaner!

Maybe i'm lucky, maybe it's karma, or maybe the parrots (general term for all birds for me) have had a dickie bird with the owl that usually sits in the tree over my cars.

From what I hear, fruit-poo is a different colour to bread-poo! From birds, I mean!

Berries tend to be dark in colour so that makes sense but it's not a case of camouflage - the cars are Silver-Green and White Gold so any defecation from the flying poop-droppers would be obvious.
