I was somewhat taken back when I read this in a local newspaper in Spain referring to a guy located on the Rock.

Yup more likely in hotter countries but I've had various 'orrible bugs grow in screenwash over the years. The Lada was the worst, I ended up throwing the pipes & jets away & using a strong solution of Miltons steriliser through the rest of it. It not only stank of stale vomit but blocked the jets regularly.

So what's all the black 'film' that appears in washer fluid bottles over the years?
