The Absinthe Fairy 0 Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hello- me confirm!There is one jet washing Chippenham-http://www.multimap.com/clients/gif.cgi?client=yell&width=500&height=310&icon=dot&pc=SN152AR&scale=25000&panx=0&pany=0its only a min or so from the roundabout that you would turn off to go towards castle combe if coming from motorway.My boyf's club at meets have their avatars and screen names on their cars at club meets so you know who you are- do you have anything like that- cos I don't know a soul!!I know it is abit name-tag-esque xcx Link to post Share on other sites

The Absinthe Fairy 0 Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thinking about hotels in Chippenham-If you are staying the night and intend to go out in Chippenham town you would be better at this hotel in the centre-http://www.angelhotelchippenham.co.uk/It's just that the travel Inns are on the outskirts towards the motorway- a taxi into town would be approx £7-8 one way.The Angel IS more expensive but VERY VERY nice!-If anyone is up for a drinking session in town in the evening I'd can organise a mini- pub crawl -if anyone's up for it let me know xcx Link to post Share on other sites

I know Chippenham quite well and have never found one! :-) Is it in one of the supermarkets?Do you know The Hungry Horse pub/restaurant? The petrol station opposite it now has a jet wash AND rollers.Its on Rowden Hill on the way into central Chippenham. Coming from Sainsburys' date=' over the roundabout with the Pheasant pub, and its just under the railway bridge.It is fairly new, they only used to have rollers.
