Then it makes it easier for me driving out of south london when i have to go by car! Ken Livingstone is a complete muppett though imo. --D-SIPL ------------------ If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that suggests you tried Graceworks Interactive

I'm glad it worked, but still. £5, that's what 7 USD (rough guess) ? ------------------ "I find myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world!" -C.

Peugeot 106 GTi, music of choice Radio 1, if not listening to my cd's. Which is usually bands such as Placebo or InMe. So ner I park at work, we have a car park. quote: £5 is a lot of cash for a toll. I'm glad it worked, but still. £5, that's what 7 USD (rough guess) ? It's around $7.50c --D-SIPL ------------------ If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that suggests you tried Graceworks Interactive [This message has been edited by D-SIPL (edited May 02, 2003).]
