    'Mock Ye May' but Ive just found an idea long handle, nylon bristled brush which is idea for cleaning those inaccessible parts of your bike and car. Its long nylon bristles can get in between the cylinder fins, exhausts and into parts other brushes cant reach. Oh - ere! I bet its useful for under the wheel arches etc on the car. The long handle saves the olde back! What is this fantastic device and cost? A bog brush. Only 49 pence from my local JYSK shop (but Im sure there is other cheap suppliers) Have you any penny pinching hot tips? ATB J
