Giles,

Sorry to hear about your woes, made worse by the dishonesty of the other driver. Hope you get it sorted as painlessly as possible.

The 'dermot' swap is an very old TM joke. Those who have been here since the beginning will remember a member called Yuri - an eccentrically brilliant Russian Aero owner was single handlely re envisioning his Aero 8 (often with the help of copious amounts of vodka and the assistance of female companions). There was a chap on here called 'Dermot' around the same time, who was annoying and upset Yuri one day. Yuri gave him both barrels and his final parting shot was that 'dermot' meant sh*t in Russian. Since that day, I changed the auto word swap to change the words. I doubt many remember the exchange , bar the very early members, but it still makes me smile. Simple things!
