    In my entirely non-scientific study this morning in thick & patchy fog, 146 cars & lorries were correctly showing headlights (and I grudgingly allowed front fogs as it was foggy), but about 49 had decided that parking lights or no lights at all thank you were more than adequate to loom out of the gloom with, towards on-coming traffic.

    The Wiki article you just linked to wrote:
    The original wall plug was invented by John Joseph Rawlings in 1911, and marketed under the name Rawlplug. These plugs became popular after the First World War, when a demand for retro-fitting existing buildings with new electric lighting coincided with a shortage of labour, encouraging many new labour-saving innovations in the building trade. Rawlplug gained their prominence from their adoption in the British Museum.

    ? Am I missing something? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rawlplug_Ltd.

    Rawlplug is the generic name for wall plugs. I've always called that particular type of wall fixing a rawlplug. Edit - beaten to it.

    The tyre pressure on buses is about the same as a road bikes ~110psi. I guess it would be the same for HGVs.
    Conversely, a car's tyre pressure is about the same as tubeless MTB ~35psi.

    that's poo and I claim my five pounds.

    The word Granth rhymes with month. It is the religious text of Sikhism.

    And as for Orange it does rhyme with sponange and in a less perfect rhyme form with gorringe (I went to school with someone with that surname!)

    Silver is another word which people think does not rhyme. It does with Chilver which is a female lamb.



    This is true useless information my friends! :lol:
