Turns out she parked in the city, leaving the sunroof open. A downpour while she was shopping added water to the car's interior. smile

What was that old phrase.

"I have made the change, it is now idiot proof."

and the reply

"We will now find a better standard of idiot."


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

In the early 80s I worked for Alfa Laval designing and building food production plants. It was the early days of PLC controls and Alfa Laval launched their automation system call ALERT. The ads said "be Alert" and those of us in the know added we to this to become.
Be ALERT we need more LERTS.

Proof that idiot proofing doesn't work & Neddy Seagoon lives on.
