If you hadn’t noticed, it’s getting colder lately, and I had to scrape ice off the car this morning. So there I was, scraping away quite happily. I’d gotten most the way around the car and started doing one of the rear windows. Unlike a lot of people, I actually do scrape everything – all windows, lights and mirrors. I heard of somebody who apprently scraped a tiny little circle to see out of, and drove away like that.
Anyway, back to the point. I was scraping away quite merrily, and noticed the scraper was looking a little mis-shapen. It’s one of those Scraper/Squeegee/sponge affairs. I pushed it back into shape and carried on, when all of a sudden, the whole thing just disintegrated in my hand and fell to the floor. I was left holding the handle. I just stood there and laughed. I ended up scraping the car with another useless scraper I’ve got – I’d probably have done better by using a stone, but still.
So I took myself out to Wilkos today and bought a new scraper – 79p. It better be good!
