    Charge. 5% premium on car insurance five years after the driver either passes the test or had approved training (say 1 days course)

    Every subsequent year the premium increases by a further 5%

    Funds go to the uninsured driver fund

    Go slightly smaller? New Polo is golf mk4 sized and has grown in size compared to the previous (new version just launched)

    Similar trend at most other manufacturers, you could slice 5 k£ off the purchase cost by stepping down the range)

    Recommend trying a Yuba Mundo, I went and test rode lots of bikes and didn’t like the kona’s as they felt top heavy and flexi.

    Go to somewhere like Practical cycles or really useful bikes and test ride loads….

    Also hub gears are really good on cargo bikes the ability shift when stationary is invaluable

    Mr Smith introduced himself to the metalwork class by saying

    “I’m Mr Smith but if anyone messes around in my class they’ll have to meet Thomas Tickler” 8O

    He then went into the store room and returned with ‘thomas’ a 3 foot length of black rubber hose which he smacked across a workbench with a sound like a thunder clap…

    one boy snigered and he hit him across the back of his legs….. no one ever messed around in that class…

    I think the kids are really lucky to have adventurous parents and have had an important lesson on what can happen when things go wrong,
    I hope it doesn’t put them off + gives them some exciting memories.

    Instead of ‘sacking’ him retire him initially from the accounts then from any further involvement in the business.

    Pretend its on the grounds that he should be slowing down……

    You can use a safety net with a recessed trampoline.

    Without the huge debt burdens maybe the world would have advanced at a faster rate, with technology led by consumer demand….

    Back to reality mankind would have found another excuse for a self destructive conflict

    A large proportion of the original Tesla roadster was made in the uk, so maybe production is possible in the uk?

    I would recommend taking the option and having the happy meds…..

    I’ve had this done several time and have had a range of experiences from 1 (I fell to sleep…) to 5

    Good luck with the procedure

    No because some folks would not call for fear of getting a bill.

    However publishing a list of rescues and the way someone says thank you or not should be published.

    Thank you should be in the form of donation to a suitable good cause, fundraising activities or other good services to society….

    How can a someone who represents a rural county with rubbish roads be minister for transport?

    How can someone with such a weak cv end up in a role managing a nations infrastructure, it would appear that the government holds transport infrastructure in low regard when it assigned the role to him.

    System boiler mains pressure hot water cylinder

    Put the cylinder in the loft and make better use of the existing airing cupboard

    Also consider a new location for the boiler

    Trio of shoddy French cars

    A 306 which arrived with a combination of clear and tinted windows
    Citroen Xantia with leaking suspension
    and a Renault megane with shonky electrics

    Buying one French car was clearly a mistake but 3 was stupidity, they deserve their reputation for making shoddy cars

    It’s a delightful location, however it’s a lot of work especially when 500k buys a lot of lifestyle on Skye & especially if you invest 240k well….

    I’m guessing that it’s a business that was build because they love the location and had the house already rather than bought with the purpose of establishing a business?

    I think if someone wants a business they would be looking for more separation from the holiday lets?

    Is it a built in mixer?

    Lots of ships lost during WW1 full of really nasty things……. after 100yrs of corrosion it could be leakage from these?

    Once my team found what appeared to be a deactivated chemical weapons sample set for the Home Guard when moving a set of museum exhibits….. phoned the RAOC who Gleefully advised that they were still active and just as nasty as the day it was made…then took it away for disposal….

    The day before one of my guys had been shaking it and saying that the liquids looked so dull it must just be water with colouring

    the technology has already been tried on crash trucks, to move the operator to the lead vehicles. Folks will get used to seeing these types of applications long before the adoption of platooning of truck on major roads.

    It’s a lower speed application of the tech and has the clear advantage of reducing risk to the operators of getting injured/ killed by a fatigued driver.

    Not all nates are made the same…, the 120 tpi are far superior to the 27’s

    I’d go 120 tpi over floaters.

    Spec GC’s are a good compromise as they have grip enough for most places…. for all but winter I run a BFL upfront with a GC on the back
