You do if you do it properly

Just checked and yes it was me . Went into the boot because I knew I had a spare bulb in a box. Fitted it, didnt work. ****

Then went into the glovebox and found the right bulb

I wouldn't have known you from Adam. The give away was having "Swiss Tony" written on both your rear windows a-la touring car Now you mention it, it would have been about 11, I was up very early for a sparrowfart meeting, just felt like lunchtime.

You have to be ever so quick to check the lights by yourself don't you Swiss?

or simply drill a hole through the rear seat and bulkhead, then with the boot closed you should be able to see the rear of the light panel illuminate when the brake peddle is depressed .. sorted

it's for this reason i bought a wagon -- much easier, no drilling needed

All these scenarios you offer, seem to suggest the fact that I am 'billy no mates' when in fact I have the staff do this for me

Well you should subject them to a disciplinary hearing as they have clearly been neglecting their duties, unless you include me as oneo of your staff, in which case, can I have a pay rise please, Sir
