Ye gads! I'm not going any shorter! Bums hanging out of the bottom of skirts leave nowt to the imagination!                                                                                                                                                                               

Have u tried cleaning yr windscreen, display cabinet style?                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm afraid people driving past ignoring one is a common occurence round the Guildford area..............used to happen a lot to me when I used to ride my old Moto guzzis, (which spent at least 50% of their time broken down) I even had a police car or two drive past and ignore me! I had 3 vehicles stop, 1) two little old ladies, 2) a disabled guy on a trike and 3) a white van man!

The Police never stop... but if they're already stopped and watching you, they do at least have the grace to give you a round of applause when you get your motor running again                                                                                                                                                                               

*WB's motor running...*

D'oh! Annoying when that happens Kaz! Did you try backpaging on your browser? Sometimes that works and you can resurrect your original post... or sit there typing it in Word, then C&P it to here when you sneak online quickly 

Then if you lose the post, at least you don't lose the text... or the plot
