Having a stroll through the middle of Lidl, like any good 40 year old man does, I came across some sprays.
Nothing too remarkable about that. These ones were a set of liquids intended to be aerosolled into various bits of a car engine…
Engine Starter Spray: Fair enough. I’ve never needed such a thing, but I can understand why it exists.
V-Belt Spray: Again, I’ve never needed such stuff but its existence makes sense to me.
Anti-??? Spray: It protects your leads and cables, apparently you need to do this. It has “Excellent adhesion” and “Lasting protection”. But from what?
Competitions seem to be all the rage on the Beans lately, so what do you think? What common engine based malaise is this spray protecting from?

Anti-tangle spray. Stops all your leads and cables getting tangled up around each other. Could so with some for the bit behind the TV in our living room.
Good guess, but no. I’m allowing as many guesses as you want though… any other ideas?
Anti-mouse spray. Stops mice nibbling through your leads and cables. Melts rodents on contact.
That’s unnervingly close, but not quite….
Aha! Now I’ve got it.
Anti-gerbil spray.
You’re in the next area over of the petting zoo… close, but still not quite there.
Is it… bees?
No, and remind me not to visit your petting zoo.
What’s next to gerbils in the petting zoo? Chinchillas? Is it anti-chinchilla spray? I’ve never had an infestation of those in my car but I expect they’d get fluff everywhere if they ever got in.
Phone call from the garage: “Hello yeah we’ve done the MOT and sadly it’s failed. There were a few minors but it mainly boiled down to the chinchillas. Your car is infested. Costs you say? Ooo well it’s gonna be North of £500 I reckon.”
Nobody wants to hear that.
The people over the road from us had chinchillas in their loft the other year. Great big nest of them, fluffy rodents buzzing in and out of the roof all day. Nightmare. They had to get Chris Packham in to sort it. I think their insurance covered it in the end.
Covered Chris Packham? I doubt that. I once tried to book him for a kid’s birthday party and he wanted over three thousand pounds and me personally saving an endangered species from extinction.
Who was the kid? No idea, but he asked me to book his birthday party.
Do you think Kev will ever come back and give us the answer to this?
He’s too busy looking at his face in the mirror. No need to waste time offering an opinion or anything USEFUL when his chin needs some attention. I mean we’ve got chins and you don’t see us looking in the mirror all day, do you? So vain.
