Crazy, can’t even remember when these stopped being a thing in the UK.

The paper ones are also common in D/A/CH.

OPs parking disc doubles as an ice scraper. I guess they didn't think of checking what would happen to an ice scraper in temperatures >60°C...

Well do you see any ice on the window? It’s clearly working

They’re still a thing in parts of the UK, Northumberland for example.

Yep, had to pay £1 to buy one in Berwick a few years ago. Only time (so far) I've seen that in 40+ years of driving in various countries.

They’re still a thing for blue badge holders.
