Screwfix are giving away free power bars to customers wo are signed up, btw. We're going to end up with more of them than we have phones, at this rate, as Husband snagged one, today. I rather like my iQ charger.
Oh and, re: spreading of legs. I had the misfortune of sitting next to a guy on the Pronto who absolutely had to do this, once. And he reeked of the lynx effect - that special effect when people think that body spray is a substitute for having a wash. I developed very sharp elbows and a rather vigorous typing style, just to maintain a little bit of personal space, that morning.
