    And it said a lot of people use a credit card as an ice scraper but this can crack the glass. That can't be right can it?

    Me too. I once saw somebody pouring boiling water straight from the kettle on their windscreen. Mad.

    I smear mine with a thick coating of lard the night before, never had a problem with it freezing up.

    It was only last year that my taxi driver neighbour told me to just chuck a pint of cold water on it as he watched me scraping away. Couldn't believe I never heard this before!
