❗There is a road closure following a road traffic collision on the A1 at junction 6 southbound by #WelwynGarden City this morning and drivers are asked to find an alternative route. The road is likely to be closed for some time. Thank you for your patience.

GIVEAWAY: Got the BM235 back from that confused CAN bus customer. Works fine of course. youtube.com/watch?v=1LH3ICvI… I'll give it to a youngster that replaies with a photo of their lab and tells me why they need it. Most public Likes plays a role, so vote for the youngster you think should get it.
