    If you want to make sure your caravan will fit a route it is possible to buy satnavs designed for/with a setting for trucks which work just as well for caravans.

    An example of how far wrong they are…….if your DD was to bounce would they only discuss this with your daughter regarding your banking info…….a clear breach of GDPR……some (even large) companies are so spooked by and dont really understand GDPR……Oh wait wouldn’t changing cancelling a DD on your bank be exactly the same thing…….see what I mean!

    Opticians are wrong……until 18 she is classed as a minor and so  unable to enter into a contract (see phnes bank acc DD’s etc) and you retain parental resposibility and are therefore able to discuss things……They are just being a bit awkward (dont want to lose the DD). Regardless of this either go in with daughter or get a letter from daughter acknowledging you can act on her behalf…..

    What part of you actually thinks its OK to just ‘Use’ someone elses roof  that you have no entitlement to and could possibly cause damage to…if you did this and it was MY flat roofyoud find a railing 1″ from your door at about the same time as you are fitting it!

    .Twin axle vans are huge and unnecessary tbh as there’s plenty of space in a single axle van Just check out different layouts as some have much more useful storage than others and it helps to have some storage front and back so you can balance the weight out.

    The sentence that proves someone knows nothing about Caravans……

    Twin axle vans are huge and unnecessary tbh as there’s plenty of space in a single axle van…….Safer when towing ……give more flexibility of design load capacity

    and it helps to have some storage front and back so you can balance the weight out………erm  especially importanton a single axle van the wight should be low down and over the axle not stored at each end which just creates a seesaw affect (also dampened by a twin axle)

    Basically what you need to do is first not jump straight inand buy the first van you see, go round ALOT of dealers/showrooms new and second hand and look for design features that do/dont suit you. When you’ve done this prioritise the list and then work out what vans tick most boxes, as to manufacturer there are really only two in Britain now, Swift group and bailey, alot of the others are actually owned by these. Dont discount some Euro manufacturers they make some pretty nice lighthigh spec vans

    Re the twin axle on sites…..never had a issue in brittain (on our third twin) but some european sites do refuse to take them.

    The cost of getting them done is surely going to be that at least ?

    It would depend on you optician, but at ours fitting and adjustments for our customers is a free service.

    A few years ago we bought some new equiptment for our shop which resulted in us getting a VAT refund for that quarter, month or so later we got a demand threatening letter advising of possible  court action for non payment of our VAT of £0.00. Phoned them and advised the issue , they said they couldn’t stop it unless we wrote in confirmation that they had made an error…….I said guess we’ll see you in court then…….never heard anything else!

    That’s true, a good spectacle technician could certainly get them to fit. There’s one in every town in some shop in a back street; it’s where the opticians send glasses for repair when they’ve failed to persuade the customer to buy a new pair. Those guys can work miracles with plastic, same as the backstreet denture repair blokes.

    Or even professional people………its what I do in our opticians day in day out….strangely I have never sent anyone anywhwere else “because we culdn’t repair it”

    A decent dispensing optician/optical assistant would be able to adjsut them to fit better (yes even with plastic frames if you know what you are doing properly). This probably doesn’t help unless you are on good temrs with your local opticians.

    <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>ALL</span> sunglasses in the UK are UV400 (from poundland to designer boutique) so give good eye protection, higher priced glasses will basically be optically better,  the best sunglasses you can get (different league to Oakley) are Maui Jims and Serengeti their lens technologies are far superior. If you are on a budget and just want plano, dont discount your local opticians any frame on their shelf pretty much can be made into a sunglass prices will obviously vary depending on the frame chosen.

    Step 1 forget the sales blurb ‘orthopaedic’ was a sales pitch started in the 80’s, if you have a bad back what you need is a matress that supports all of you in contact with the bed when in your slepping position/s the only way to find this is try some….the pillow can be just as inportant as the bed too.

    Absence…..which is basically what a medical appointment is, is a legitimate record to keep, specifics of the appointment ie doctor dentist etc are also leitimate, but treatment details may not be, there are 2 sides to gdpr, a persons right to privacy, but also correct record keeping by an organisation. The above scenario actually falls into both so correct record keeping overrides an employees wishes (If the employee/er later wants to use the appts in evidence with regard to so kind of industrial dispute the correct records have to be in place and retained for up to 7 years)..

    Slightly serious reply, I experienced a new one a couple of days ago, traveling at 30mph thru a smalll hamlet on the way home car coming in the opposite direction waiting to turn right ( indicating), car in fron of me passes it , oncoming car then flashes her lights at me and starts to turn across infront of me! Haul anchors on and blast horn!! and manage to stop about 2′ from her car now in the diagonal halfway thru turn position. She (lady mid 50’s ish) gets out of car shouting at me saying she’d flashed to let me know she was coming!……..really…….are some people that deluded in cars now. I not to politely pointed out that just because she ‘flashed’ doesn’t give her the right of way!……..Wasn’t even a German car either……

    TBH most can do what youare looking for, plus alot of other things, personally I have an S3 frontier which I really like, but others have varying preferences.

    How waterproof do you want it? S3 frontier is IP68, 30 mins in 1.5M of water, unless you intend actually swimming in it that should be more than enough!

    Quick google tells me this

    Reg 103 MV [Con and Use]Regs 86 – no person in charge of a motor vehicle OR Trailer shall cause or permit the vehicle to cause any unnecesssary obstructiuon of the road. It has been held that a vehicle left for an unreasonable time may be an unreasonable obstruction.

    A trailer so left as described has also to have at least one wheel prevented from turning by use of parking brake, chain, chock etc. Offence not to do so Reg 89.
