The Telegraph motoring section has suggestions today including a "Parking Ticket Holder"
It is actually a clear bit of plastic that you are supposed to fix pay-and-display tickets to your windows with. It costs £1.99 which seems excessive and I would be very miffed if someone bought me one of these for Christmas.
It is claimed that it helps prevent "sticky mess" on the window. I never suffer from sticky mess on my windows but, then again, I never attach pay-and-display tickets to my windows - I just leave them, clearly visible on the dashboard. However, the Tikettak (for that is what it is called) sticks to the window with an adhesive strip - bet that makes a mess if you take it off.
They make a big deal about it being manufactured in the UK. Good. However, some of the errors in their Website make me suspect that the producers themselves are not British:
"unless, of course, you don’t mind whether the logo is legible properly!"
This may only be available online so it could be too late to get one for Christmas time so I guess it is off to the filling station now.Charcoal Brickettes anyone?
