Fausty, I was a bit worried about your mental stability until I got to that last item on the list...
Having spent 2 years and 3 winters out in Moscow in the mid 90's, here are a few more tips for drivers.
Use Vodka instead of antifreeze, the rougher the better.
Put Vodka in the screen wiper reservoir, stops it freezing and keeps the pipes and jets clear.
Having said that, Vodka was only $2 a bottle at the time...
Many Russians put vodka in the windscreen wiper part as it does not freeze like water. They also add washing up liquid. You can tell the alcoholics in Russia as they have bubbles round their mouths.
Michael, I thought it looked a little, erm, sober ...
Ian - Vodka is still cheap to produce and I'm sure many produce their own! BTW, with your rich history and insight, when can we expect you to produce a book? :)
Excellent, Joe!
