Off Topic but it has to be said......

So, car designers invest millions in creating the"must have", top of the range, all singing all dancing (well Citroen have) car packed with all the latest gadgets and gizmos; yet forget to install indicator lights. They have put the little orange or red plastic covers on the four corners of the vehicles, but these are merely colorful decorations (or more likely a reminder of a long forgotten age)...yet I have yet to see any of them twinkle in an interesting and informative way....and it is particularly noticeable on the big 4X4s where it must be assumed that cos the thing blots out the sky as it passes by people intuitively guess which way the driver intends to go, but clearly this must be on modern cars.only ..cos

On the older varieties these bits of coloured sweet paper had special powers..whereby putting both left and right on at the same time resulted in the ability to both park anywhere or just stop (middle of the road, on a corner, the entrance to Tescos) and to be fair it is only the installation of those new anti-shoplifting devices that prevents car owners actually going into Tescos.
