""I did anticipate every possible retort (and still expect a few) " Far be it from me to to disappoint you. The key word to the original post is BRAKE (plural BRAKES), not BREAK (plural BREAKS). I did consider that you (and everyone else who has been having this spelling problem) were involved in a subtle play on words, where the failure to BRAKE will cause your car to BREAK). Which is quite amusing, if true But I thought I'd have a bitch anyway :)" - martin english
