Rules and Regulations gone mad?
Who's nuts? - one would hope the product did contain traces of nuts - big ones!

What will they think of next!
It is going to take a while for me to get used to these new gadgets, it is a case of back to the Owners Manual. So, ladies, when your ever-loving wants to change his pride and joy for a newer model (I am talking cars!) insist on puddle lights How have we managed without these innovations for the last 60 years.

Frank and I decided that it was time our car went to a new home whilst in good condition and not too many miles on the clock. Having decided on the make, model and colour of the new car we then proceeded to go through the specification with the salesman. (I think he thought that Frank was building Concorde, not buying a new car.) He was a very patient young man and was able to answer most of the questions put to him. We came to an item “Puddle lights”. when asked to explain we were told they prevent you putting your foot in a puddle when you get out of the car. I said, very quietly, “if you ask a silly question you get a silly answer”. Looking slightly hurt the young man went on to explain that there is a light under the wing mirrors so that when any door is opened it shines on the ground and avoids wet feet if there is a puddle! The other new accessories to us are auto headlights, auto dipping of the rear view mirror, and if the windscreen wipers are in auto mode they wipe when they sense wet on the windscreen.
