Girl Guides faced a giant-sized problem when they volunteered to wash a double-decker bus
Girl Guides faced a giant-sized problem when they volunteered to wash a double-decker bus to raise money for disabled children. Members of the 27th St Albans company in Stratford Street, Stoke, Coventry, were taking part in a sponsored car wash fortnight organised by the Childrens Society. There are prizes for the most unusual vehicle washed and the Coventry Motor Museum agreed to let them tackle a 1963 Daimler bus. Armed with sponges, clothes and chamois leathers, the girls had to use mobile scaffolding and hoses to reach the top of the bus, but they did a sterling job and it was soon looking spick and span. They will be in action again tomorrow at the Ring Road Garage in Tower Street, Coventry, where they will be washing customers cars.
