Anything actually, but a preference for bitter. Warm bitter, not that crappy cold stuff out of the taps.
You are a Northerner for sure

Ice scraper - a good one. The difference between a good one and a bad one is a few mins on the car. I started off with a good looking one this morning from the Mrs car, it was rubbish and got a freebee one from Micheldever Tyres out the garage which worked brilliantly - done in no time.

You a bitter boy then? Northerners drink that stuff don't they? I love going into Northern pubs and asking for a pint of ' Pedigree Chum '
Is that cockney for bum.

Boiling water all over the windows. Don't #### about with this lukewarm gash. Boiling water. The water for men.

Firework 'dust' is the best. Sprinkle on and light. It's brilliant and saves a lot of pissing about.
