Do they do something similar to keep kids upright and in the same position in the car (seat belts just don't cut it!)?

Or even a mute button when they start singing/arguing/discussing loudly?

Could do with some of those at times!

:rotfl:

Yeah, Max, you don't want to do the cr choosing with DH for medo you? Bag hookssound significntly more useful than: ''left hand drive, built for the MoD'' that he'sinterested in.

Come out of Sainsburys with just a couple of carrier bags and instead of putting them on the boot floor as normal and getting home to find they've rolled across the floor spilling all their contents, you just hang them by their handles on the hooks which are mounted high up and then they're still there and of course upright when you get home.

Very simple but flippin clever. :cool:

I've always thought a takeaway bag hook for the passenger side glove compartment would be good.

As for shopping, I put it in the car with me. Rarely in the boot.

Me too. How are you going to satsfy your winegum cravings when they're in the boot?

Besides - the boot is full to the brim with Phiretat

we mucked out the car recently.

I used to have ano eating in the car rule when it was just me, nd I'd only drink water. I I kept my car very, very clean and tidy. Long gone are those days. DH eats drinks and makes merry in the car. When we cleanedut the car last time there were 12 of my waterbottes:o but a lot more, like x 10 of DH's rubbish. I find it disheartening.

I put shopping with nice food in it in the boot, so I'm not tempted, but ''my'' shopping goes in the foot well (I'm never tempted to dip into my porridge oats on the way home).

Incidently, the newish hemp bags are jolly good for not falling/sliding over. Much prefer them.

:rotfl:Love it :rotfl:.


I put shopping in the boot because our main shopping car doesn't have aircon and gets rather warm when parked in (or even out of) the sun. The theory being that my milk won't go off or my oven chips defrost on the way home.

I have a plastic carrier bag in the footwell of the passenger side, into which I chuck all my ongoing rubbish (pie wrappers and empty fag packets).

Then if anybody gets in my car (say, once a year), I can just tie up the handles of that and chuck it in the back.

yeah, I used to do that.....men, despite IME being tidier, do seem to make more mess to tidy up.

I used to do it myself, and then thought maybe I could shame him into it....no chance. I think its partly because it was my car before he and I met: so although now its ''our car'' its sometimes hard not to get a it proprietorial.:o

Are you sure they are not really meant for the "cargo net", so when you have been saved by all those airbags, you are not killed by a flying tin of beans?

Why do cheap French cars have a slot with a restraining cord, where you can "store" a bottle of wine, and expensive cars are so full of airbags that the wretched thing rolls about all over the floor?
