    A warning

    This will not effect you guys and girls over there for some months yet. When the frost comes and your windscreen is all iced up, just make sure you grap the tin of deicer and not the tin of spray cream. One makes a mess while the other clears your windscreen.

    Not much need for it here either, although with an El-Nino weather pattern we definitely need a windscreen.

    I'm too old to take girls PARKING now, de-icer would have been handy in my younger days, I hated those fogged up windows, every one knew what you were up to in the back of the car

    No worries, mate. At those temperatures we've had recently the cream would have frozen solid inside the can.

    There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
    And there are people who drive Discovery.

    While the Range Rover has the wonder invention of a heated windscreen which melts the ice and snow faster than you can clear it with a scraper my second car a Mercedes is not this technoligically (cannot spell that I think) advanced. Hence it now sports a new windscreen.

    After clearing the snow from the windscreen I had removed the ice underneath by slowly pooring water that was just WARM over it. Few days later wife was in a hurry so decided to follow my example and throw a kettle full of BOILING water over the windscreen to clear it. This was followed by screams as it cracked in a couple of places from top to bottom. Best part is that now before we go near the car my young daughter proceeds to remind her mother not to poor any water on the windscreen or it will break like last time.
