But because of the BBC inablilty to forecast the weather I got a bollocking off my boss for being 10 mins late. |

A feeble excuse for being late to work - it's winter, 3c would probably have been enough to coat your car in frost anyway! Paul |

Ah, if you'd said that at the start I would have known what you were complaining about. Covering the car is not always a good idea. Could wind up ripping some paint off the car if the cover freezes to it. When I used to leave the car parked in the open I'd never use a cover. I'd always give myself plenty of time to warm the car up so that I wouldn't get problems with the windscreen fogging/icing up on the inside soon after moving off. -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK.
