Slightly off topic but I watched 3 of our guys de-ice a peugeot partner van this morning for 15 mins.

I'm not even allowed to top up my washer bottle on my truck , because I don't have the right training , the fact that I spent 15 years working as a mechanic (some of that time on heavy goods vehicles ) means nothing.
