Crying over spilt milk - literally

[andybjackson]

After shopping while holidaying in France, I thought it strange when unpacking that the 2l of milt that I thought I had bought wasn't in the shopping bag.

Then parked my car in long term airport parking for 3 weeks - the hottest in memory.

Thought the parking attendant was unusually hasty in getting me to sign the release form.

You guessed it - the milk had slipped under the driver's seat and was now Camembert. My kids re-christened the car the vomit comet.

Given the seat has an airbag and the main vehicle electronics are mounted there, I had the Volvo dealer remove the carpets.

Trying to clean them turned out to be a waste of time & money. Replacement rear & driver carpets amounted to ~£500 on top of a similar amount for the removal & reinstallation.

That's how one gets to cry over spilt milk.

Commiserations. £250/litre makes for pretty expensive milk.

Our old Berlingo had two useful little cubby-holes in the rear passenger footwells. When a strange smell came along, getting worse every day, I eventually found half a dozen eggs that had been stowed there weeks before. Neither of us will admit to the deed though.
