8th August. Braking News.

Often to prevent brake failure, especially on japanese vehicles, complete replacement of all the steel brake pipes with copper is de rigeur.

However as per yesterday's braking news, the copper is a far softer material and liable to gradual abrasion should anyone have held up the pipe with one or two plastic tie wraps.

A bit of grit and dirt caught between the two and there you go! given sufficient time.

If you WERE looking for a perfect murder solution and prepared to wait a few years this might be less detectable than rubbing the inside of a spoon with the back of one of those Poison Arrow frogs before serving up Bolognese - and tie wraps are much easier to come by than exotic rainforest amphibians.
