That way she gets the pleasure of opening it while still going along with her wishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to imagine but the above suggestion beats the shit out of any of the previous ones quoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Really like those new contactless jet wash things. The ones in Fife are much cheaper than Edinburgh. £4 gets about 48hrs of hot, soapy fun. Not so good for the boy at the bay next to me when washing van last night. He was going full Basil Fawlty as the brush didn’t have any hot foam coming out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I got an RAC air pump that plugs into the cigarette lighter in the car. Cost £14 so I reckon it'll pay for itself in a couple of years. Trouble is it is very fiddly - at the weekend it just wouldn't switch on. Just as I was ready to Leigh Griffiths it, it came to life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a pump that came with the Renault I had years ago, but it's a bit gutless and seems to stop inflating once it gets to about 30psi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also started selling screenwash via pump for 50p but I'm not brave enough to venture into that, market yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I am all for the change to contactless payments for air. The increase in price to 50p is annoying though, and the suggestion from them that you are getting just as much value by getting 5 minutes instead of 2 is nonsense. Who is taking 5 mins to inflate their tyres? Love finding someone just in front of me when i go - can almost guarantee free air from the ridiculous amount of time left after they finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
