It is all part of a charity drive run each year on February 13 by the Jay Patel from the BP station.

On the day before Valentine’s Day, visitors can get a free machine car wash as well as that day’s edition of the Mid Sussex Times in exchange for a donation to Cancer Research.

Mr Patel, 54, hopes the generosity of his customers will surpass last year’s total of more than £1500 raised for the charity.

He said: “All we want to do is beat cancer and make life better.

“Everybody has been touched by cancer.

“We need to beat it together, it’s all about being together.”
