(Incidentally, I've always thought that a 2+2 configuration is completely pointless - small kids grow out of the rear seats very quickly, and now that kids have to be in booster seats until about 10 years old, even small kids won't fit)

Back to work today after a week off and a cold and early start followed by 3hrs playing sardines on 2 trains and a DLR just to get there hasn't put me in the best of moods but just been reading the project black thread and Dave P's comment below really made me smile
