Investigators are calling for a temporary ban on the use of DUKW vehicles as a tourist attraction owing to safety concerns. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-24706625

Cheers Graham

PS lets start an argument about due to/owing to. I think my use is correct as I would connect due to to a noun.

Whilst it is true they are a tourist attraction, safety has to be paramount. The 'Duck' trips should be stopped until all problems have been identified and made safe.


From the more happy days, I don't know if this one has the same safety issues as the yellow ones but I feel that is also be withdrawn until fully checked.

I'd say with today's modern English both are correct.

Here is another one.

1:- My mother and I

or

2:- My mother and me.

One of the above is technically correct.
