Living in a warm climate I find a sunroof very useful.
After being parked in the sun, opening the sunroof is the fastest way to have the hot air get out!

Great idea about opening the sunroof for cooling. But then again you can open the sunroof in a proper hot day. The sun will be too strong on pax.

I don't normally drive with the roof open.

Once the hot air has risen, I shut the roof and use the aircon.

The sun/moon roof on my aged Toyota 4Runner has a feature that pops up the rear part a few inches to allow hot air to be sucked out while the tinted glass lessens direct sun.

The sunroof on a Renault 4 was full-length and it was useful in Scotland (Applecross) for the passenger to stand up and be able to look around and up.

The sunroof on the Defender 90 is a smallish square over the centre of the front seats. It can be raised or totally removed, the total removal is a handy function if you are directing a tank battle or reviewing the troops.

Woody* if redundancy bites are they offering enhanced conditions or is it legal minimum ?

Barest minimum plus pay in lieu of notice, possibly find out this weekend

Bedford 4-tonners had a canvas-covered hole in the cab roof over a central 'platform' so that an 'observer' could stand up with their head and shoulders outside. What's more a machine-gun could be mounted on the 'hip ring' so that they could spray the undesirables with hot lead.

A useful function for a family man. Although it could have been useful indeed in high-way traffic jam to give kids a mission.

It wasn't raining then?

We spent a week (I was working there) and the only change we noticed was some days the rain was quiet and other days noisy.

[G-CPTN]

The Applecross holiday was without precipitation and blessed with sunshine throughout.
On another occasion we took a cottage on Skye for two weeks and it only rained twice - the first time was from when we arrived until the following weekend and the second time started a day later and stretched until we left.
During our Skye time we devoured excellent salmon and langoustines (we had to wait for the latter to be delivered from the vessel that had retrieved them - delicious!).

Bastards, if it is what you want I hope you retain your position. Legal minimum is no way to go.

I know this will matter, what happens to staff travel ? My brother is a retired CSD (74/77) and his wife a retired Purser. They seem to be not using Staff but "Hotlines".

Ah, sunroofs - takes me back to a gig in Brighton, in the sixties, I think. Certainly before the M23 motorway. So the usual Sunday evening jam on the London Road, northbound.
The trumpeter (yes, well most brass players are a bit mad, I've observed) insisted we open the sunroof, and proceeded to stand on the front seat with his trumpet and make like a two-tone horn.
Traffic parted like Moses & the Red Sea. Ordinarily this sort of hoax would have p1ssed people off, I think, but in this case, nearly everyone we passed seemed to be falling about laughing...
And we got away with about a two-mile overtake. Then there was Crawley.

Jeez, dogs are funny. Her ladyship standing near the front door, tail wagging like buggery and wide grin on her face, telling me she wants to go out. It's eight degree outside and pissing it down. so I open the front door and and the screen door. She sticks her nose out, realises it ain't too nice and reverses back between my legs. "You think I'm going out there - no way" says she. So I shut the door and laugh.

[EA01]

Ha ha Alison!....the evenings flock of Rainbow Lorikeet have arrived here, I'm thinking the same thing....'Go out there?', bucketing down here.

I can see about 6 of them are hiding in the 'Feeder House.

[Undried Plum]

Looked outside this morning.

No Lorikeets.

Bugger.

Must remember to put food out for all those feral Lorikeets we get hereabouts. Never seen them, but ye never know until ye see 'em.

Mebbe that's also why we've got nae hippos, other than yon fatblackcunt on the sofa wiv Portaloo talking to Brillo McWossname on MPTV.

[Ex-Ascot]

Morning folks. Mrs Ex-Ascot has a new phone but same number as stolen phone so it has come up with all the numbers phoned by the robbers. CID are coming today to list them and up date us on the case. Glad they are coming here we have spent too much time hanging around that cop shop. Besides, they want a day out on the lagoon don't they.

Nearly always drive with the roof open. I have to wear a hat around midday though. Then I leave it open and park under a tree. More leaves in the car than the compost heap.

That'll ****.

It's called a Clue.

[Undried Plum]

Not allowed that many smilies by the smiliepolizei, so here are the others anyway :

How do they do that?

[Undried Plum]

For them, it's the same customer, only one with perhaps more money.

That's all they care about.
