Too posh to polish

The very dirty roof on a Bentley parked up in Albemarle Street, snapped on the way to our last visit to the Royal Institution (noticed at reference 1).

A roof which had collected quite a bit of dust, dirt and droppings. Perhaps it had been parked in one of the leafy squares of London. But it struck me as odd that someone who cared enough about cars to have one of these - with the price of such a car buying many thousands of rides in the taxis which ply the crowded roads of London - would not care enough to have the chauffeur keep it clean. Perhaps someone who had not grown up in the suburbia of the 1950's and 1960's when everyone who was anyone spent most Sunday mornings polishing their Ford Cortina (or whatever).
