    A local surgery has said that more than 1000 over 80s have yet to respond to invites

    I can understand that.
    My Mum got a text, on Friday evening, inviting her to sort out an appointment.
    Unfortunately she doesn’t have a smart phone so couldn’t click the link in the text in order to make the appointment!

    I imagine many over 80’s are in a similar position.

    We sorted her out by her forwarding the text to me so I could follow the link and get her booked in.

    This stuff is pretty good, mainly for fleas but does kill ticks as well

    Moved from a 2 bed terrace on Toftwood Road 20 years ago got £57,000, prices have certainly gone up since then.
    Crookes was filling up with student rentals then, not sure what its like now.

    I have a Withings Steel HR which looks like a watch rather than a mini phone.
    Now connects to Strava via app on your phone.
    I’ve found it very good at tracking swimming, walking etc (sorry I don’t do running!) Strava on your phone does the Strava stats though.

    Does also display messages if you want to!

    Did Grange over Sands to Scarborough in three days, mainly off road, for Marie Curie five years ago.
    45 miles first day, 52 miles second day and 57 miles on the last day.
    I think I still have these recorded on Strava so I could pull of the GPX files for you if you want them.

    As I said, I’ve had no issues with Bulb, prices have gone up but I’ve just been informed gas price is going down from 21st March as wholesale prices have gone down.

    I’ve been with Bulb for about a year now with no issues.
    They send an e-mail each month asking for reading, I return the readings and they work out the bill.

    If you miss sending the readings back then they estimate and you continue paying the same monthly amount.

    I can post up the referal link if you like & we both get £50 if you sign up with them!

    If you want to do it supported & for charity you could try this;

    I did the off road west to east a few years ago and they managed to drag me across even though I was no where near fit enough (I underestimated the challenge!)

    They’ve added east to west by road prior to the return west to east off road this year for the really ambitious!

    Whatever you decide check the label and make sure the list of ingredients adds up to 100% (same with the list of analytical constituents). If it doesn’t (I’ve just checked one of the better quality foods, mentioned by a number of posters on here, and it the ingredients only add up to 68%) then you can only speculate what the missing ingredients are. These missing ingredients are ones that can be changed without you knowing, so you can find something your dog has been happy and healthy on for months can suddenly upset your dog and it no longer wants to eat it or worse the new unlisted ingredients cause health problems for your dog, usually itchy skin or a rash which can involve numerous expensive trips to the vets to try and determine the source of the problem which you can never pin down to the food as the ingredient which is the culprit is not listed.
    Also try to keep away from foods that have a lot of E numbers in their additives list.
    If you’re having trouble sleeping and want something to read you could check out the pet food legislation http://www.pfma.org.uk/uk-pet-food-legislation

    Beware forums (everyone believes they are feeding their dog the best food) and pet food comparison sites (which often have hidden backing from manufacturers so are not totally unbiased).

    Best advice I can offer is check the labels first and once you’ve found a food where all ingredients are listed, that your dog enjoys and is healthy on, and that you find affordable, stick with it!

    I’ve done a couple of rides of around 27 miles with 1500 feet climbing, just on 20% battery left.
    I’m 17 1/2 stone, bike is Turbo Levo HT 29.
    Was in trail mode all the way which is set at 45%.

    Why not have a look round your local rescues.
    They would be able to give you some advice as to what would be suitable for your family.

    We feed ours on Oscar Pet Food (there are various options)

    http://www.oscars.co.uk

    to find your local Nutritional Advisor who will be happy to talk to you about the problems you are having and what food may help with the problem.

    They also deliver to you to save you lugging bags of dog food around.

    This could see recommended passing distances between cyclists and pedestrians recalibrated in an effort to head off future traffic jams with automated vehicles rigidly tailing cyclists for miles until the requisite space opens up for them to overtake within existing rules.

    It was the above that concerned me.
    Let’s make the passing distances smaller to match the bad drivers already out there on the roads!

    He was on radio Sheffield a couple of mornings ago. Every “issue” he came up with was quickly dismissed with a solution by the presenter and he became more and more incoherent with each even more ridiculous problem he came up with!

    I’m not sure of your location but you could try a place like this http://www.willowdogrescue.co.uk/3.html
    They are based in South Yorkshire (I’m sure there are similar all around the country) and they will work with you to ensure the dog is right for you and your family and that you and your family are right for the dog.

    There are dogs of varying age so if you want a pup then there could be one for you (I expect that there will be more arriving in rescues over the next few weeks).

    There seems to be a “raising statues” trend at the moment!

    I think you could but why would you want to wait if private insurance was already covering it?
    A few years ago I had some heart issues, was referred as I had private health insurance.
    A few weeks of intensive investigations later I was given the all clear but recommended to make some lifestyle changes and am now on medication for high blood pressure.
    Six months later I had a letter from my local hospital inviting me down for the first of the tests to start investigating my issue! The GP had not cancelled the NHS process after referring me.

    we’ve got one but the vrt 340f has a dial on as you say.
    Turning the dial towards the + increases the number on display to the temp required.
    have you tried pressing the + on the controller to see whether the value increases?
    If so keep doing it until you see the radiator symbol.

    I’ve done that a few times and the results, the rubbish being cleared, have usually been pretty quick.

    The Winter Gardens is certainly a huge improvement on the building that used to be there. A place where I worked for 14 years! Student games was not all bad, I’ve seen some great concerts and events at the arena.

    Pootling down the Trans Pennine Trail a few weeks ago. Heard a hissing noise accompanied by a lovely catherine wheel effect of sealant spraying out of the front tyre for a few seconds. The hissing and the spray stopped and I carried on my way!

    That’s why I run tubeless.
