I read somewhere that our good friends across the Channel prefer their (soft) drinks in bottles rather than cans. So you've got the European Union to thank for the bottle opener. Probably...

Probably right.

They also get money back on empties too.  They feed them back into these rather nifty machines which scan them, and they get 1euro for every 4 bottles.  A good way for kids to top-up their pocket money (and get the bu&&ers away from the playstation).

I think it looks  :cool: and adds to the quality of the car.  Never used it yet as a bottle opener, but use it all the time as the divider in the space for drinks.
