In the course of their work, our researchers have uncovered
some material which doesn't conveniently fit with any of the
other pages. As it is organised, classified and catalogued, it
will be published here in the archives. Please check back here

This notice, lovingly restored by the
Professor, was found in the ruins of the Scunthorpe works
canteen and is believed to have been originally put up at the
insistence of the Canteen Manageress, Rene Clutterbuck. The text
reads
"To all production staff. This is a reminder to
all employees that they are under no circumstances to use the
canteen tea for the purposes of de-greasing the crankshafts.
It's fine for all other parts, as long as you remember to replace
the lid on the tea urn, but tests in the QC facility have shown
that residual tannin traces are causing metal fatigue, leading
to failure of this particular component. A vat of custard has
therefore been made available."
