Electrickery... GGGrrrrr! If I could handle the hippy lifestyle I'd gladly give up all electrickery. Why do I keep blowing things up?! And why has it all blown up THIS year when I've no regular income and can't keep up with the bills/debts, let alone afford to replace stuff?!

Cheers XK - just make sure there's nothing electrical around at the time!

Hope you got some sleep in the end Nuts... Must've been a night for it... even the ruddy cat got in on the action and trashed the place at around 3.20am, so there was no chance for anyone who'd managed to close their eyes for 5 minutes!

Is it coz I`m getting old or wot,but it seems that everyone wants everything lit up like a fg xmas tree nowadays;cars,for example.
It used to be the case that motorcycles were best seen if their headlights were on during daylight,but we`re hardly able to be noticed anymore amongst the blazing glare of most ill-adjusted headlights of the moronic car driver who seems to switch on(if they ever switched off in the first place)at the first sign of a cloud in the sky.And wots the point of front fog lights?If the weather`s that bad then they should slow down,or better still,stay at home!!The manufacturers are just as bad for fitting them in the first place.`N why the hell do van manufacturers decide that fitting their headlight units halfway up the front,so they blind any other road users,is a good idea-stupid bds.
I wonder how many accidents are caused by being blinded by modern or ill-adjusted headlights,eh?

Sorry,had to get that off my chest-bad journey home

GGggrrrrr! Thanks for that TC. Reassuring news

Drum roll please...

I'd like to present the Customer Service Award (Outstanding) to the good folk of Aviva.

It took a mere TEN WEEKS to get proof of no claims discount from them. They've not QUITE managed to acknowledge the fact that I did pay them, nor have they come up with any explanation as to why they still decided to cancel my motor insurance, but hey, credit where it's due, right?

Of course, my new insurer wanted this proof within 4 weeks of issuing their policy, but Rome wasn't built in a day.

Let's hear it for Aviva! Keep up the good work!

You vent Wraith...it does you good to let it out I wanna know why large vans/lorries have piggling little lights and some cars have huge ones, and what's that all about where the winker/indicator is INSIDE the main light, like a bloody halo! Hardly see it *tuts*

Manufacturers havn`t worked out that an orange 21watt bulb isn`t as bright as the 55watt halogen headlight they`ve just stuck it next to;DERR!!!!
I blame the inspectors that pass these vehicles for use in this country-these things seem to go against `construction & use` regulations.

I`ll go & listen to some soothing music,a bit of Ten Years After,I think & a cuppa rooibos tea

PML I've just noticed my typo, it shoulda been piddling not piggling

kwak I was thinking the very same today and it seems to be volkswagon/Audi that are slotting tiny indicators inside great rings of LED's, very difficult to see

Wraith is there a regulation regarding the mixing of different brightness levels within light clusters?
