    Sounds like you can't even remember what it was let alone where you left it?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Stupid reviews

    Lidl were selling a product for preventing fogging of your windscreen which I deal with every morning these days and so I blast it with hot air which works fine. The product also works for fogging on motorcycle helmets and similar applications.

    I had a quick google search to see if it had good reviews. It's a European product like many Lidl products and I found on Amazon Germany with about 400 positive reviews.

    Because it shows me English language reviews first I read from an American giving 1 star due to foreign language instructions (you bought from Amazon.de) and also it did nothing for frost on his windscreen. It is not for the outside, it's for inside your car!

    Now I doubt this manufacturer will ever care or read it. Stupid reviews can hurt small businesses though

    I heard Christmas songs in a multiple of places before Halloween.

    Nothing is special anymore.

    I have two of those, one I bought in Halford years ago, and I recently bought a second one so while one dries I can use the other one. I find them excellent.

    I didn't think there was any need for such products nowadays as most cars have air conditioning or a TA an acquaintance believed 'it's only for hot weather' and couldn’t be convinced otherwise.

    One - plenty of people still have old cars with no air conditioning. Two - something that absorbs the air moisture naturally stopping it from condensing on the windscreen in the first place is more environmentally friendly than A/C on full blast.

    EDIT: I'm assuming it's the cushion filled with silica gel we're both talking about.
