Yep...... and thank you..... Now all I have to do is put a note on the sunvisors reminding me.... lolol ;¬))

not so useless really -

did you know that there is an indicator on your car dashboard which tells you which side of your car the petrol cap is situated? There is a little drawing of a petrol pump and alongside is an arrow pointing to which side the cap is situated - not a lot of people know that - take a look!!!

If you have been in the lead, ALL day during a competition......there will be SOME blighter that turns up late on, and will beat you by three points, as happened to me, today.......still I suppose being second (in my class)in a county competition is not to be sneezed at,
Eh?
but being first in the veterans was SOME consolation, as well as winning a small pack of "fosters" in the raffle.......LOL

Wasn't there some rule about the same time concerning the emptying of chamber pots from upstairs bedroom windows?

Or is this still practiced?

In space which is a vacuum.........
