In fairness, it isn't all sweetness and light in other countries. In my experience German TVMs seem to have difficulty with Irish credit cards (although perhaps they are just being sensible).
In the last two winters if you tried pouring cold water onto the windscreen at minus 12 degrees at Edgeworthstown where the station is in a frost pocket, you would just end up with a sheet of ice. It is perfectly fine to pour hot water on a car windscreen but it most definitely is not fine to pour boiling water on the windscreen. Up to about 60 degrees won't do any harm.
