Hopefully work won't install this. Reason is that those whose job it is to install and monitor on the work machines won't have the security clearance to view some of what we do. Doesn't matter if they even have high security clearance, they don't get access to even know what some of what our work is unless they have been authorized for access to that specific project.

The mechanics sorted out filling the adblue tank.
The warnings have stopped beeping and the 10 l bottle that was in the back is gone, so presumably I can trust it's in the tank now.
Sounds like much of what I have paid for was for them doing what I did: Looking all around the car for an ad-blue tank hole and taking things apart trying to find it.
But none of that is the correct solution, which is to put it up on the ramp and clamber underneath to find the tank which has some sort of lowering mechanism, to then lower it and fill it and raise it again.
Not a job for me then. Next time it'll maybe be cheaper coz of them knowing what to do now and not spending half a day trying to figure it out.
Apparently there is a second emissions reduction mechanism which doesn't take a wattery bottle of urea, but instead needs a pouch of oily tar stuff.
This is more likely to empty and need replacing next, rather than the piss bottle.
And even for normal cars that haven't been screwed up for wheelchair access this is a mechanics job anyway. And the garage will have to order in the tar pouch especially.
Back in the 90s, my first car cost about 200 quid. Today I paid 200 quid to get someone to fill it up with purified piss for emissions reduction. Oh how things change. 😆

When It Hits the Fan - The Prince Andrew Crisis
Possibly more discord and disagreement than I have ever heard before between the hosts Yelland and Lewis on this one.
I think I have to agree with Yelland here that royal PR is in a total mess and the upcoming generation (George, Charlotte and Louis) are going to have to force their parents to shake things up.
