Clean screen

A British woman discovered that the windscreen washer fluid in her Toyota had run out, so she stopped at a filling station for a refill. However the air and water dispensers were out of order and when she asked inside the filling station, was told that she was not allowed a bucket of water to refill the fluid reservoir or wash her windscreen as this contravened the firm's health and safety policy. Using a cloth she managed to clear the screen sufficiently to allow her to drive 3km to another filling station
