[Mgs] Fitting a radio

[Barrie Robinson]

Denise,


AAAAGGGGHHHHH!   Pushing things in your ears is definitely not the 
way to go.  I have had a few occasions when pedestrians have walked 
in front of me with ear-plugs and totally unaware of other noises.  I 
have also has ear-plugged people nearly hitting me in car parks 
because - again - they cannot hear.  You have to be able to hear 
horns, ambulances, fire trucks, other cars (some with quiet 
motors).   I know you say you pull over but ear plugs do a damn good 
job of blocking out other sounds.  Please, please do not block your 
ears.   By the way, ear plugs are illegal in some parts of the world 
- Ohio being one (that is in the USA I believe)!

But have a great week-end - I am !!
