I didn't realise you were that "local".
I used them last year and they were pretty good, insofaras I took it in

At the moment I can't decide between something big, comfy & fast[1] or

And particularly poor this season from what I've seen. All that

A guy I went to sixth form with took great pride in telling everyone how he
would get new wiper blades by driving down to the local retail park, and

Except the handling was clearly utter shit. Shame that, cos I bet it

Just got off a Dash-8 that was rtb'd after being hit by lightning. First time
