An interesting side effect of my new LED bedside lamp is that it has brought the luminous hands on my clock to life. I've never seen them glow like this before!

Must be a significant UV component to the spectrum.

Sorry to hijack your thread Jim but I couldn't find the 'garages' thread'

This was the garage I used to buy my cars from in the '50s. It was on Bromley Common, long since gone I'm afraid. Frank Jarret was the proprietor (by the A40) The smaller chap at the other end was Frank Rabbeth, he was the mechanic/ panel beater/ sprayer and he was brilliant, cost me £25.00 for a complete respray in those days.

The chap in the middle was Les Holder, he used to repair batteries in the loft of Franks workshop, eventually went on to have his own battery and plate making firm. Just a bit of history I thought you might be interested in.
