7 May 2007: A Hot Wash

Australia's worst drought in memory has had some weird side-effects. Snakes have been invading towns, looking for water; thirst-crazed wild camels have rampaged through outback camps; and in Brisbane a ban on resident's washing their own cars gave entrepreneur Warren Armstrong an idea.

He set up "Bubbles 'n Babes", a business where customers can have their cars washed by a topless woman for around 25 pounds, or a nude woman for around 50 pounds.

Police say no complaints had been received and, as the washing takes place out of public view, no criminal offence is being committed.

A government official said the operation uses recycled water and therefore does not break water restrictions, but confirmed that the government fleet would not be using it.
