thanks for that – much appreciated!

Instinct solar does broadcast 👍

Agree re google. Just slightly amazed it hasn’t happened already!

We really need it. I’m slightly surprised there’s no collusion in the private sector to deliver it. If you did you’d probably corner the market.

Electric car here, had it for 9 months and generally a big fan. It’s used as a local/second car so normally charged at home, we made a first attempt at a trip requiring a single charge away from home yesterday, bit of a nightmare. 2 hours spent either waiting for a charger, trying to get the charger to work (3 phone calls) and then not getting the speeds advertised as per comments above.

I think this is where Tesla have it nailed tbh, bit like Apple with the UI for iPhone, Tesla and the way their cars integrate charging to the route just looks fantastic.

It’ll get there, but it’s not there now. I don’t really understand why there’s no competing integrated solution to mimic teslas.

Shotgun third in the queue

York cycle works aren’t doing it currently. Asked them last week

The commando dad books are decent. Take you though pregnancy and the early days, some useful guides.

Cheers @sandwich. I refuse to run as a matter of principal so a weekend off the bike it is.

The plus side was the doctor had small hands. The downside was she was crazy fit 😂

Thanks team. Sounds like sensible to not ride on Sunday, certainly!!

Hi team. Quick question. Enlarged prostate noticed by doc while getting something else checked. Late 30’s, no real symptoms.

Blood test booked for Monday. Am I right in thinking I should lay off the bike this weekend?

I’ve just bought a hightower v2 as my only Mtb. Firmly mid pack in my annual enduro, enjoy a day at BPW and natural riding round Yorkshire and the lakes. It’s perfect.

Smoov lube (wax based) and the Smoov degreaser. Plenty of reading available on cycling tips or the Australian cycling friction website. Works a treat.

Well said @Daffy

We are in the fortunate position where OH (teacher) was able to drop to a 0.5 contract on birth of number 1, that was 6 years ago and number 2 is now 2.

We are super fortunate in having grandparents nearby who do one day each, and then one day at nursery. It’s been extremely balanced – kids both know and love their grannies, some quality time with mum and some nursery experience.

Even one day a week at nursery is over £260 a month here, and we still have the problems of ill children and covering etc, despite the huge advantages mentioned above. We are desperately lucky and don’t forget it.

What worries me more is the behaviour I see in the workplace, which surely impacts people trying to maintain their family. One of my team is a full time working single mum (like my mum was), the lack of understanding and flexibility she’s experienced is truly appalling. Another is a full time working mum, and her partner works full time. The negative conscious/unconscious bias that seems to have existed about her dual role (whether that’s who should take time to look after the kids or the lack of flexibility and understanding to manage a balance) is also appalling.

Sorry – my point is around the install, not the equipment. The manufacturer warranties the equipment, it’s the warranty offered on the install I’m worried about.

We’ve been looking at solar, and in truth I’ve got cold feet – interested to see what the group view is.

No contractor we’ve had yet will warranty their work beyond one year. I’m nervous. – as I perceive it to be moderately serious work to the roof with the potential for errors/leaks/bad workmanship impacting further down the line. I’d hoped/expected contractors to offer maybe 5 year warranties.

Any views? Have I just had bad contractors or is this fairly normal and I’m a nervous Nellie?

Thanks!

Wow! Ok sounds like it was sorted. My ears were ringing a bit but not at that level and the sound was reasonably defined

Ps we were in the stand, so might have helped the acoustics

Really enjoyed it!!!!! The bass was very heavy, but sounds like they’d sorted it a bit more by the Saturday night, it certainly wasn’t that bad. Ed was excellent, and the show really good. To say how big a venue and crowd it was it felt remarkably ‘close’

@johndoh that’s perfect, thank you! Going tonight!

Watching with interest as going to it on Saturday, from Yorkshire!

That’s just not an article

Mine has the early rider saddle and always been ok. Worth checking angle etc., as above

I would ring TF tuned and get their advice.

Yeah that’s what I’m finding. Bike discount is saying in a few weeks.

Can anyone find a Reverb AXS in 170 31.6mm flavour? My reverb stealth (200) has borked itself.

Sorry -straight from solar via the inverter and car charger, again, simplifying :)

I’m also edging towards that kind of set up, but without the hybrid inverter.

Hi!

Correct @flicker, I’m meaning more literally i.e. ‘storing’ electricity in the electric car, to drive the electric car.

@Paino DNO application still to take place, to understand what our max size is. But year – it’s dependant on that.

Stick them all in an archive folder so you can search for anything you need, then start fresh.

I’ve had an argument with my employer on this principal also. Context is manufacturing, teams of people working together.

Part of the change in legislation is they no longer have to consider covid from an HSE perspective. They now have issued guidance that positive test or not, if you’re fit to work then you come in.

Moronic.

The change in law is what’s driven this. Staying at home is purely guidance now and not enforceable.

Garmin varia front light. If you get caught out late it also is a very good proper light and is ant+ controlled.

Ps we have no idea how we got them.

Been there with this. There’s a spray treatment you can do. Just keep out of the house for a few hours after. That, plus daily vacuuming and we got the carpets cleaned (logic is the heat and steam kills the larvae). Seemed to do the trick.

My work, large scale manufacturing in a huge global corporation, declared that from 1st April, even if you test positive for covid but feel ok, you should still come in. Remarkable.

@flicker I have! Bought 900 litres at 62p last week, seen it go over the £1 a litre mark this week.

One litre of oil = 10.25kwh of energy, so, I bought effectively at 6p/kWh, even those buying now are at 12p/kwh. So it’s tipped over the apparent p/kWh of gas this week. I expect heating oil is a triple whammy, crude price, high demand at this time of year and people looking at the price of crude and filling up tanks

Bit stunned by some of the figures on here. Our electric is £80-110 a month,including an electric car on 10k miles a year. Four bed detached with family of 4. Heating we are oil, so consider ourselves lucky, to this point…

Reference the glasses and nauseous bit. I have astigmatism, but I can’t tolerate any correction in my glasses lenses. I therefore have no correction and am fine, if I have correction, I have exactly what you’ve described. My optician said it’s not common, but it’s not that unusual. When changing optician I have had some ‘debate’ on this topic, but I know what works for me! Might be worth trying with no correction.

Apologies if this has been posted.

Can I suggest:
1. Read this The secret barrister And gain some understanding of the judicial system.
2. Having read this, recognise judges can only sentence according to sentencing guidelines, if you’re not happy then write to your MP.
