I noticed on the engineering poster at Moorgate
that the multi coloured screws have a left hand
thread - anyone else noticed?


The old light bulbs that they had (have?) in Routemasters had left hand
threads - this was to stop anyone pinching them to use them at home.


That sounds like an urban myth, bus bulbs are hardly likely to be 240v are
they?
