1) Open bin
2) Place Metro in bin
3) Close bin

Oops. Guess the Metro is not everyones fave... I've noticed some comments from time to time on SF that were a little unnecessary Markis but I think that the smiley means DJs comment is tongue in cheek. I've seen plenty of useful posts from him. And to be fair, you have had some good advice from Mr Modifier.

I try to keep my comments positive as my mum always said that if I can't say something nice, don't say anything.

I agree with Mr Modifier though. Not a big favourite but if they are cheap... I have a couple that I've repainted. And to be fair they've out lasted the real ones!

Perspective...

Ah, BT Metro vans. As a former BT fibre contractor I was given a V8 engined LDV pilot for "evaluation". Proper engine, rubbish van.

Very contrite DJ. Using a 'Allo 'Allo German accent repeat the mantra " Ferry amusink. Ve haf vays ov making you laff!"

Same for the 1:1 6R4... in French, "Ooh, Ze nobs and ze lights..zay are all flashing..."
