I believe we call them "bumpers" <g>. Funny, with all the discussion of the English language on the other thread, here in Canada, we've retained the English spellings for the most part, rather than the American (incorrect) spellings. So, we spell colour, harbour, neighbours, centre, theatre, etc. However, in most things technological, we use the American word (I know that's has nothing to do with spelling, but it does have to do with language). So we take elevators rather than lifts up tall buildings. At GFM, if I have to leave my tent at night, I'll grab a flashlight, not a torch (which over here would burn the tent down). Large vehicles on the highways are trucks, not lorries, and so on. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
