Complimentary insects, no charge.

Over the last couple of days my ignition light has been staying on, very dimly mind you, a matter which has had me perplexed. This was mainly due to the fact that I recently overhauled the dynamo, installed a new voltage regulator and fuse box as well as tidying up quite a bit of shoddy wiring. So, while scratching my head and checking the usual suspects, I thought I might look at the points in the regulator. I was quite certain this couldn't be the problem as the thing is brand new. I was right. It seems the problem was a colony of Ginger Ants that had moved in and set up shop in my regulator box. They were merrily going about their business except for the couple of dozen fried ones in the bottom of the cover, who had apparently been unlucky enough to be walking across the points when I have been driving about. Little blighters. A quick burst of Peabeau soon set them straight.

LOL!
Found a colony yesterday in one of my wifes garden fairies.

Good to see that they were complimentary. I hope they were complementary too ;)

This post made me think of an old joke:
Theres a bloke sat quietly in a bar and he hears a voice, "nice hair", he looks around a little startled. A couple of minutes later he hears "nice clothes". This goes on for a little while till he asks the barman where the voice is coming from and the barman replies; " Its the nuts, their complementary!"

Ill get my coat

I know why the ants were in the voltage regulator - they were looking for the currant! (sorry Andrew)

I used a bit of vinyl as a radiator blind during the winter. Much more hygienic.
