      BBC -
      "A lorry driver has been arrested following a crash that closed the M25 between junctions 23 and 25 and left four people injured.

      The road was shut near Potters Bar, in Hertfordshire, after a lorry overturned across a central reservation.

      One man was in a critical condition and another was seriously injured.

      Police said the man, who is being held in custody, had been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving."

      So not the account manager in his 318d for once.

            Having lost me glasses again I initially read that as how to invert an attic.

            Actually that's a great idea, if a the average roof was the other way up it would keep the rain off just as well but, instead of gutters and 2 or more drain pipes you could have one big central pipe and stick a turbine in it to provide electricity.

                    Lorry maintenance is very regular.

                    Plus a driver has to do a daily walk around.
