Does anyone know what the Red hazzard warning light switch and the 2 lights that flash when depressed on the dash are from . Or was it a TVR part. Also where to get one from.
Cheers
I bet Bo and Luke would know.

For all the people commenting on lads smoking weed, did you mention it to any of the police in attendance? In my eyes it's just as bad walking past an turning a blind eye, imagine if one of those mentioned got in a car and crashed, or worse, hit a car or predestination out enjoying the meet!

My wife is returning to work after her second (and hopefully Last) maturnity period. Her current working hours are 7.30 to 15.30 (contracted 7hrs per day). She would like to go back part time but the management have said she cannot keep the same hours. Her current hours are beneficial both financially for child care and in terms of Parent child contact. There are no instances recorded of the previous hours being problematic, it appears to be a change in policy and aversion to set presedence brought on by new management. We are currently reading through the employment law.

Towards the end of an 80's school ski trip to Austria all the kids began swapping their schilling coins for notes as it was rumoured that you'd only be able to change notes back into stirling.

Would you be kind enough to point out the spelling error within that quote, old chap?

Apart from a couple of capital letters missing from the currencies, I can't really see the problem...


...unless you are a septic, and you're spelling rumoured (wrongly!) without the second 'u' wink

"Stirling" is not a currency.

Hmmmm. scratchchin

It's still not a spelling mistake, though. Just an incorrect use of a colloquialism.

The well versed accountant is me.... to an extent. I have got a specialist looking into this and I've had a look at the VAT manuals but nothing conclusive that I've spotted, just several salient examples not 100% linked to what I'm dealing with that kind of support my arguement.

Aaaagh, nuts!

I shall consider myself both humbled and educated. Although I blame 'target fixation' on the missing capital letters rolleyes


The however, remains extant wink

I once got in a car with a guy from my office to go to a supplier site in Southampton ( we were based in Manchester) we were about a mile down the road and he said "Think I better tell you I don't do small talk" and he put the radio on, for 5 hours nothing more was said - that was arkward.
Must've have been raining heavily.

Nope. The clue is in my comment. It's to do with rhyming slang.
