 Reversing messages - eh? - hawkeye
I spent a jolly forty minutes at the local tip, sorry, recycling centre, yesterday what with Mrs H filling the trailer with goodness knows what and then being trapped while they moved some skips around. As the trucks backed up I heard a double bleep and a loud but indecipherable message. Eventually, I translated the racket as "Warning, vehicle in operation".

What?

Must have been recorded by a consultant; while technically correct I suppose, it was particularly uninformative. Whatever was wrong with "Vehicle reversing" ?

Was it one of you who was responsible? If so, admit it now and stand still while I lob this custard pie at you. Do I detect the delicate touch of an EU directive here?
