@Deborah – I hadn’t heard of the vinegar thing at all – Windowlene with added vinegar just came to my mind!

I’ve heard of sucking on a copper penny, or the old “Breathalyser tests are known to be unreliable and I would much prefer if I could have a more reliable blood test, if you’d accompany me to the nearest A&E” excuse. Supposedly by the time the A&E gets around to you your blood alcohol level will have gone way down.

Course you’d be best of just not driving!

After a moderately merry early evening at my place a friend of mine asked me for a bottle of vinegar before we set off into town; mumbling something about just in case he was stopped by the police. Well, it takes all sorts, and I didn’t have the faintest idea what he was on about. Funny thing was his car broke down at the first traffic lights – so all four of us were repeatedly caught on camera whilst pushing the Beetle out of harm’s way – and the good J downing 100 ml of white wine vinegar.

It was hilarious to our eighteen year old selves.

And thanks for reminding me that my windows need cleaning.
