About 16 years ago ,and I will never forget it, I was carrying out a service and MOT on a Golf Cabriolet and during the MOT test had to move some carrier bags that were in the way of the rear seatbelt stalks.A couple were full of clothes but the last one was half full of used sanitary towels . Needless to say a little sick popped into my mouth and I exited the vehicle with great haste and ,as you would expect, expelling involuntary expletives as I did so. Not an experience I’d like to repeat. Sorry if anyone is eating when reading this .
