Suffering in the heatwave.

Grubby streets

Extra dusty and dirty with no rain to wash the grime away.

More variety, increased desirability, but higher prices.

Carwashes

With a hosepipe ban in operation, there’s no need to waste water on your wheels.

Jumpsuits

All fun and games until you’re in a portaloo at a music festival.
