Leave it off.
I'd had the Audi for over a year before I realised it should have had an undertray.
On reflection, I suppose it might be more important on a petrol engined car than a diesel.
We had a Golf up on the ramp once that had lost it's undertray. The crud build-up was terrible all over the engine bay and had started to pit all the metals.I'd had the Audi for over a year before I realised it should have had an undertray.

Found out latter that it was a South African built model and getting a tray shipped over was going to takes ages and be sodding expensive. It was left off and the car sold on swiftly.
The gap between the ends of my reading glasses is the length of my phone. Almost exactly.
I haven't been very busy today.
Ooh, which reminds me, if we go for the bone china "I'd rather be at..." mugs, they will be £10 + p&p for a small one and £11 + p&p for a large one.
I'D RATHER BE AT TRIVIAL TOWERS
An alternative is to go for a more complicated design involving a pic of The Towers and script mentioning the TT Fifth Anniversary and all that old malarkey. This was what I thought when the idea of mugs first came up but I don't know how much they'd be. Cheaper I imagine as the "I'd rather be.." mugs are dead posh.

Is such a thing even possible? Can mere pixels portray the 'other'ness of the Towers? A graven image might create a temporal distortion and throw us into another dimension. The neighbours will talk.hidetheelephants said:

Well, now you mention it, the last time I posted a picture of the Towers everyone in the bar was suddenly sporting a tricorn hat and frock coat. I took it down sharpish.Edited by DickyC on Tuesday 3rd March 18:04

Job interview/assessment for me tomorrow, and had a call asking me go to another one next Tuesday. Only other thing I've achieved today is myself and a mate washing our cars. The short drive home made doing mine pointless.
Warm weather and a few days rain needed to wash it all off the roads.

It's not same variety of cluelessness, but I asked at the Information Desk in Tesco if they had any cloves as I had been unable to find any. The girl looked at me blankly and pointed to the adjacent F&F stand.
Apparently I made up Anchovies. They aren't a real thing since no one knew what they were let alone where they'd be located. Much the same for Mangoes, since I've had to tell the checkout boy what it was. As for Cheese, something like Roquefort or Stilton works well with a warmed Garabaldi biscuit. I've recently been introducing this in to people's diets with much appreciation.
