Just like the Royal Australian Navy... lots of ex-Royal Navy personnel.  The worst thing was they would often say, "That's not the way we did it in the Royal Navy."  Unfortunately the Royal Navy did it the way Nelson did it, 200 years ago.

No, the Peugeot is the driving school 's car. That car is also used for the driving test.

The wife have and old Corolla, but she doesn't use it much, and I need my car for work every day.  :snigger:

The other son don't think hee needs the drivers license yet, but let's see how long he can wait, now that his Brother have got it..  :snigger:

How did you go with that one, Gonz?  The engineers I've met couldn't even explain what they did to adults, let alone 6yo kids.  I swear they have their own language.

On the last Leadership Exchange in Canberra I rated less extrovert than 0.2% of the world's population, so I'm the type that would seriously implode without an audience of any age.

Funny how the first three questions I got were:
1. Have you been to war?
2. Have you been shot?
3. Have you shot anyone?

Bless'em. :rolleyes:

I used to get the same type of questions too.  My favourite ones were, like your:

1. Have you ever killed anybody?
2. Have you ever been killed? (Yes, I am serious, that is what was asked)

(2) Can I see your weapon?
(3) Is your weapon cocked and fully loaded?
(4) Am I going to have La petite mort?
