not my list but there are some reasonable points

TANGIBLE BREXIT BENEFITS: 18 MONTHS LATER ?

In March 2022, I was asked to provide 10 "Tangible Benefits" of leaving the EU. So over the course of a lunch break I wrote a list of 10 and sent it over.

Since then it has been shared thousands of times, and even made the press. pic.twitter.com/bs7zDDJZo0

Is there a singletrack squadron ?
on xbox and would like to join if it’s still going

I have the peleton bibs and the pad is at least as good as castelli

Loads of road routes on ride with GPS

Search for rides within 1 mile of euxton and you will see lots of Chorley cycling club rides

Have a look for hilook cameras , they are consumer grade hikvison products and will work with a hik NVR

Watch out for telephone activated volume license keys , several companies are selling these and they aren’t legal and could be revoked at any time

Vivoactive 4

Doesn’t have all the fitness metrics of the higher end watches but it’s enough for your requirements and it’s less than £200

Looks like the ketones don’t work 😀

Norden near Rochdale looks nice and less than 30mins from haslingden albeit over owd betts which can be tricky in winter

Personally I would avoid living anywhere that meant I needed to use the M6 or M60/M62 , car parks at rush hour

It’s at least 3 degrees colder on average than Surrey and a lot lot wetter

Dunno about the geometry but a trek domane ticks most of the other boxes

Specifically went for the 4s as it’s smaller
Last watch was a Vivoactive HR which was huge

It was £30 cheaper than the 4 as well

As above , ANT+ broadcast heart rate on the Garmin

The lezyne should pair with the watch , mine does

Strava is one way of pulling all the data together in one place , just link the accounts in the lezyne gps ally app.

Are masks the new helmets ?

The Wolfenstein games are ok and worth playy

Do all your devices support 5GHz ?
Are all your other devices connecting to the 5GHz network?

If they do turn off 2.4GHz support on the router.

If your netbook doesnt support 5GHz use a different SSID for 2.4GHz , that might fix it.

Vodafone , removing Turkey from free roaming and charging £6 per day instead.from May

Not great if you are stuck in Turkey

Subscribed , I only ride road bikes now but happy to contribute

Accrington is like the zombie apocalypse on a good day anyway!

We use 3 at work and I have had dropouts on some routers

Our SIM provider also sent an advisory out saying they were having issues with 3 but this was closed around 3pm

Anyone know if a company car benefit needs to be added to basic salary?

As far as I can work out company car benefit is already taken out in tax and doesn’t need to be added to salary but confirmation would be great

Zenni optical offer some decent prescription sports glasses

Think my basic ones were about $40 delivered

To clarify ,the new job is home based plus a pay rise , I would be a bit better off even after losing child benefit

Current job has 250 mile commute

Thanks for all the responses , looks like new job is the way forward

Crowne plaza is ok , not sure if they park off site but your car is waiting for you when you return.

There is a shuttle bus but it’s walking distance to T1 or T3 as well

Great question, I am due a new company car in May and am also wondering what to get. I want to hold onto my Audi A3 1.6D for another 12 months ideally to see what hybrids/electric vehicles are around then

My A3 often does 70MPG and I claim back 10p per mile so I dont know what get next.

I can recommend the cheese pies , not tried any others though..

I recognize the pie shop…

Run Linux from a usb stick and use the dd command

exact copy of the drive guaranteed

for experienced users only though as it’s easy to overwrite the original

Chain ring bolts , saddle rails for starters

worth a try for 99p !

I don’t have any advice on how to stop the visual disturbances

I have learnt how to get rid of the headaches from hell though

double espresso as soon as the flashing lights start works for me

in my case stops the headache before it starts

Pinkbike classifieds has road bikes as well

Otherwise it’s buy/sell groups on Facebook

Road and Racing bikes for sale in the UK

Lots of regional groups as well

I can answer the lezyne route question

you need to upload routes to lezyne’s gps root site and then sync to the mobile app

Exporting files as .tcx from ridewithgps is straightforward even on a mobile device

I have the super enhanced gps and I think it defaults to north up

i use it on road only though so I am usually following turn by turn directions

Kindle paper white is better for ebooks

Calibre can convert most formats to ePub

pdfs aren’t great though

I quite like my lezyne super gps

to be clear though it doesn’t have maps stored on the device

it does have turn by turn directions and bread crumb trails which work well

rerouting needs the lezyne app running on a smartphone and a data connection

It’s easy to download tcx files from ridewithgps and then upload to the lezyne website which are then synced with the lezyne app

You do need to use the web version of ridewithgps though I think to extract the tcx file which isn’t great on a mobile. I just download routes on a pc to Dropbox then upload to the lezyne gps root website on a phone

Mac mini should be right up your street

plex for all your media needs

you don’t need to pay extra for Apple kB/mouse , just get a Logitech K400 combined unit

the base model is underpowered so if cheap is the most important bit then look elsewhere

have a look at asana

I think it does everything you want

Rivington won’t be dry , it’s been pissing down for weeks and it’s only ever dry one Sunday in August
