 %%  the acronym of R&D can apply to both research & design or and research & development  O0 ....

May be used in industry to allocate financial costs  <*<....however is really no different in when we go to the local library or maritime museum for our research of a particular model

So we can allocate 2+6 sixpence bus fare + $ 3.80 for Mc Donald's lunch............we book it all down to the cost of the model {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)

My accounant >>:-( wouldn't have it any other way.........thats R&D for you.....Derek  :}

How about Retirement and Destitution?

Now that should be the fate for bankers and politicians,
instead of for the majority of us.
