Random question time

How about a thread full of random questions, I've got an odd question that I've just thought of,

At work we have a video camera that watches the street, at the moment I'm looking at the colour monitor and for some reason the brake lights on every single bus flicker as if they are flashing, it only happens on buses, why!?

They don't flicker if you look at them with the naked eye though

good point, I'll have to wait for a BMW to drive past and see if it does the same thing when it brakes lol

What is your job? Shouldnt you be working or is this actually what you do?

work in the post room but we have the camera on our back gate so we can see the street, so we know who we are letting in

ooo thats interesting, when the bus brakes, the brake lights don't flicker, it's when they don't brake that they flicker

Yeh its gotta be the LED thing, just seen a BMW doing the same thing, problem solved lol

I've got a new random question people.

Someone please tell me why we had paper delivered that is a whole 6mm wider in width than standard A4, what is the point in even manufacturing paper that size? it's just stupid because it doesn't fit in the printers lol

A4 is A4, wherever you go (ISO 216 stipulates this) - The US merely have a different size of standard paper, known as Letter.

PP is of course, correct, SS ordered Letter, not A4, and should hang his head in shame.

I didn't order it so it's not my fault lol

Glad we cleared that up though
