      Got to agree with Armandii - it was a fantastic idea Yvonne, please don't let me put a dampener on things; I just think we should tread carefully if we are to do it.

        I think it is a lovely thought ... but needs expressing some other way.

        That type of stuff goes viral, TV companies think its newsworthy, turn up on the doorstep in droves ... I would absolutely hate that, and (personally) just the act of a bunch of strangers sending me things would be something I would have huge difficulty with - even collective praise is something I am uncomfortable with.

        A route perhaps? would be for folk to send such things to Our Man and him to deliver them personally: "I told some mates about your kindness and they were so touched they individually sent me some Thank You's and I put them in this tired old cardboard box I've had lying around for years ..."

        Well, maybe not the last bit!

                          I thought BMW had indicators, most motor vehicles have indicators, even mobily scooters, even seen them on push bikes :snork:

                            They do, Jiffy, but there's a general opinion that some BMW drivers either forget they have them or just drive without using them as they think they don't need to!!!:heehee:

                            From observation. BMW, Mercedes and most 4x4 The indicators are an optional extra that the majority of those who buy them can not afford

                            Along with the arrogance on the road being the same arrogance that they used to tramp all over their work colleagues to attain the position that lets them buy the reduced price model in the first place
