So, who knew?

If you hold the 'unlock' button down on your car key fob, it will automatically open all your windows. Good to air the car before you get in it on a hot day whilst in sight.

And vice versa......which is actually more useful when you leave your windows open and it starts to piss it down. You don't need to run out and open up the car and insert the key into the ignition to close them!

The car mad people in my life were not even aware of this!

After a chance remark by Melanie Sykes on the Alan Carr/Melanie Sykes Show (BBC Radio 2, covering for Graham Norton over the Summer), I looked up an ice cream van tune.

The tune that haunted me through my childhood is called , the tune which is played in my current neighbourhood is called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2YvhEv7ykM
Vals Sobre las Olas or the Over the Waves Waltz]] and there are scores of Youtube videos dedicated to ice cream van and their chimes.

Who leaves their car windows open? Surely your car would get robbed!

I knew about the key fob.
But what I didn't know until about 3 years ago is when you bake or buy and uncut loaf of bread you're meant to flip it over and cut it from the bottom to make it easier and even slices.

... you can tear off a segment of an egg box and use it as an egg cup if you don't have one.
