Take care at this car wash
on Belfast's Lisburn Road
Our correspondent Myler McGrath writes:
A couple of weeks ago, I dropped my car in to this car wash on Belfast's Lisburn Road for a freshen up and quick valet.
And then, with a cheery wave, I popped across the road to have a coffee in Arizona.
Thirty minutes later, I returned to pick up my car and was delighted to see the good job that had been done to smarten up what was earlier a slightly grubby vehicle.
Since then, this everyday event had disappeared from my memory - job well done, I thought....until...?
Until I took out my camera which was stored in the driver's door pocket....
And then I took out the memory card to upload some recent photos to my system only to find that someone in the car wash had taken out my camera and taken a few photos of themselves at work. Then they placed the camera back in the driver's door side pocket!
So the moral of the story is..... if you're using this car wash, don't leave your camera in the car!
You might end up with images on your memory card that you didn't put there!

TENDERS
For Northern Ireland specific contracts, there are a number of sources of information specifically for contracts within Northern Ireland. The Central Procurement Directorate (CPD) handles contracts for a number of government departments. You can find a list of current tender opportunities on the CPD website. Again, there is no email alert facility that we can find which makes the content difficult to adapt to the Bulletin format.
Please see https://e-sourcingni.bravosolution.co.uk/esop/toolkit/notice/public/opportunities.do?reset=true for the current list of Northern Ireland opportunities.
