F****IT.

I can only assume you're being deliberately stupid as a troll tactic.

OTOH you have in another group shown that you have difficulty grasping the concept of negative meanings assuming them when there is no reason to do so.

Unfortunately Gonz thinks 'except' means you MUST NOT rather than NEED NOT.

I blame the failed education system in this country.

Graham

It's increasingly looking like it but them again I've seen Gonz have difficulty grasping the use of the English language in another group (also with respect to negatives and inferences).

4) he went to an English comprehensive school.

Yep, I noticed that a while ago :-)

Are you suggesting that he automatically assumes that if something is described as not black then it must be white?

Eeyore (Eeyore ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Umm, so did I.

Brimstone ("Brimstone" ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Eh? WTF? Obviously!

Saucer of milk for Mr Brimstone ;-)

Come on. You can't even begin to rate Adrian anywhere near the subject of discussion, can you?

Hence the use of the word except, it's an exception to the you may not.

My comment was ambiguous, only a reader with a personal agenda would take it as representing a specific view. :-)

The ones with reflectors on the back of the pedals that your lights illuminate?

You need to get your headlights adjusted. Tonight I drove down a twisty unlit country road. At no time was I in any doubt where the edge of the road was.

Because many aren't correctly adjusted.

For illegally using fog lights when visibility wasn't sufficiently reduced.

You thick or something?

Well yes, but I don't think many front fog lights are _so_ badly adjusted that they're red and point backwards...

Accompanied by the sound of a chisel on slate Conor, managed to produce the following words of wisdom

Fiestas still used a tiny little led in the switch as warning until pretty recently, and the switch is miles away from the driver as the OP stated.

I'm pretty sure they auto-switch-off when you turn the main lights off though.

Which is carefully positioned to be out of the driver's eyesight from a surprising range of head positions.

Yup.

Maybe you hit the mark then. I'm another product of the English comprehensive education :-)
