they've produced some interesting ideas since the fan switch, but this looks really good, but it's probably worth trying to grind off and file the edge of the LR one ?

Took me long enough to get my bloody doors to shut in the first place - I'm not touching those screws again Rolling Eyes Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

I'm going to need to investigate this - I've never got my trousers caught and I'm worried I may be doing something wrong Wink Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
