    Too many unknowns about how it’s all plumber together to offer any advice really.

    The least practical and least environmentally friendly though.
    We need to work out how to get remote working to work.

    Maybe VR can offer something, but with companies like IBM pulling their workers back into offices, I’m sceptical that the value of it will ever out weigh the costs.

    With the greatest respect you’re trying to make an old solution, that was fairly crap, work better with new, and very expensive hardware.

    Co-location is by far the best option, collaborative work being done by a multifunctional team all sharing a space with facilities for whiteboards, post its etc on walls.

    The MS Surface hub is great for bringing an extra person into that space. The whiteboard function is almost worth the price of the kit on its own. When you are paying contractor day rates in 4 figures, it would be false economy to scimp on the kit. And when the organisation is above a certain size and already paying substantial subscription fees to MS, you tend not to pay RRP for them.
    Most conversations we use them for last less than 15 mins and they just work.

    Of course, other ways of working and cheaper options may be relevant to what you are trying to achieve and the budgets that are available.

    MS surface hub for the meeting room (can be wheeled out if on a TV stand) and MS Skype for business is the optimal. The surface hubs aren’t cheap though.

    Speak to your home insurer. Mine wasn’t interested in any certification. If insurers aren’t bothered, and you are confident the install is safe then it might only be an issue when/if you come to sell. Even then, I suspect you could get indemnity similar to that sold to cover missing planning consents and or other building control documentation.

    I thought I’d be able to go for a ride with my son on a demo day – him on an eBike, me on a normal bike. He laughed at me on the climbs.

    Part of the reason for me getting one is so that I can continue to keep up with my racing snake 13 year old son. He can almost out climb me on the e-bike now, and I have no chance of keeping up with him on the downs. I’m beginning to think that Joe Barnes used to be our postman :evil:

    Modern OCR algorithms tend to work on recognition and then comparison to a dictionary. Great for words, but not so great for random characters.

    Car dealers are generally franchised from the company they supply though.

    Indeed

    The contract is with the shop the customer bought the item from. If it went back to them then they should handle any warranty work FOC to the customer.
    Say for instance, you bought a Sony television from Tesco. It breaks and you decide to take it back to Sainsburys as they also sell Sony televisions and they’re closer to home. What would you expect them to do?

    Alternatively I had warranty work done FOC on a VW at the local dealers even thought I’d not bought it from them.
    The OP was asking about an LBS, as pointed out above, different business models are different.

    We have a 10 week old kitten at the moment, same mad energy and an affinity for climbing up me and biting my face. He gets put in the cooler (dining room) when he does it and is slowly learning. Our older cat is around to slap him when he gets out of hand, although she’s taken to joining in the careering around the house at warp speed when playing with him. All good fun.

    Whatever you decide on, be careful with the rewards. Cash back would obviously go back into the business, but points/vouchers could/should be taxable benefits if used personally.

    A bit of movement is preferable to a too tight, misplaced strap wearing the frame. Be careful where you place the straps.

    I had a 57 plate (Mk 2) Ranger for 3 years and loved it.
    The ride was superb – big high profile tyres, felt like it floated everywhere. My youngest gets travel sick and its the only vehicle she didn’t throw up in.
    Loading can be awkward, but plan properly and it needn’t be. Side loading canopies are also available which improves things.
    I’d have another in a heart beat if I could justify a 3rd vehicle in the household.

    Logging trail up to glenmore and a loop of loch morlich
    Logging trail up to glenmore then up up to lochan uain (the leechy loch)
    Out towards the Lairig Gruh to the footbridge and then right down to loch an eilean
    Some of the paths just east of loch morlich have been washed out leaving baby head type boulders. Fine on a fat bike, not so great for a trailer
