This to be made compulsory, and failure to do so, should result in hefty penalties!" /This would make all of our lives a lot easier, as we could take our Managing Directors to places like Axminster and Chronos. Their bill would inevitable be higher then ours, and who would be standing their then staring at the ground at the checkout ? I believe there is genius in this idea.....<<< My wife wouldn't go with that, on the basis that it spoils a good tool shop. She normally takes me to ME Exhibitions, and she took me to buy the lathe. She then took one look at the one I was thinking off, rejected it as too small, and firmly said that a bigger and more expensive one was needed. She also insisted on buying the milling machine at the time rather than later......and she has few pairs of shoes. ---------- Zarlink Semiconductor Limited is a Company registered in England and Wales under number 00705031 with its registered office at Cheney Manor, Swindon, Wilts SN2 2QW, England.
