there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.

Ouch! - never noticed that drapsey, but you're right, I clicked the 'bottom' rather than the top button didn't I?Still, at least there were buttons, we had to make do with safety pins. (This is going to get silly isn't it!!).I am going back about 40 years with my suggestion, thinking of thelate night dashes on the back of my firend's scooter so we could get home!

Britain's first self-service petrol station was also in the Leeds area. Anyone know which one? (It's still there.)
