Jon Pertwee served on HMS Hood but was transferred just before the Bismark sunk it. Then he was attached to the Naval Intelligence Division, reporting to Winston Churchill and Clemens Atlee. He used to teach commandos how to use escapology equipment.

Wasn't he transferred to HMS Troutbridge?

The fuel sign on your car dash tells you what side to fill up

I've heard that before but it didn't on Micra K11s. I'm fairly sure it didn't on Rover 100s or Metros either. I'm beginning to think it's just an urban myth.

Have you tried typing the email addy as 'the opposite' for the shift options to see if it works both ways? I can see it might ignore all/no caps but if you're Fred 123@ will it allow fRED!"£' I wonder? I don't do farcebook.

Characters in email addresses aren't case sensitive. I was just surprised the ' and @ were interchangeable as well.

Don't cycle through a canal tunnel straight after a narrow boat has been through it. You will choke on the fumes.
