Working for a wholesaler I would suggest many of the issues are more down to retailers not choosing appropriate premises….opening a shop in a unit with a beauty saloon/hairdresser classification, a 2.4m height limit into its backyard, and double yellows on all roads for 1/3rd of a mile in every direction, and then moaning the (weekly) pallet delivery’s struggle to unload is a favourite example…

Hence the changes to sentencing guidelines last October https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-8832081/Courts-come-harder-bans-motorists-12-points.html

Well if he can accidentally takeout both red bulls just trying to make the start, what could he do to the Mercs with an axe to grind

The manual says power led flashing means programming track is live.

Ah well the Frankenstein example is on my mind because we went to the new House Of Frankenstein in Bath a couple of weeks ago…..well worth an hour or twos time in my opinion.

This is a SciFi tradition is is not, take a brilliant book and mangle it to suit the directors vision…..just compare the Frankenstein movies over the years to the book…. I am enjoying it as its own/different interpretation but agree it’s nothing like the book(s).

Another flat dweller here who rarely answers the door unless a visitor is expected for the same reasons….my favourite being an Amazon driver who handed over one parcel for me and 5 for other 3 of the other 4 flats, one of whom was in and quite annoyed with me for not knowing this, rather than the driver for not trying his door……

Ours was the same but one surgery appears to have committed far more resource to it than the other three surgery’s involved, and has consequently been dire for patients trying to be seen for any other reason. My wife is at the aforementioned one whereas I am at another and the difference in service has been like night and day.

My parents had one such unit wired to both front and back doors. Front door went DingDong , back door just went ding….

I have taken the choice to be double jabbed, as soon as it was offered to my age group. I do however have concerns about the amount of social pressure being placed on people to accept medication that is still new, despite assurances to testing procedures (I am not anti-vax, but simply cynical in day to day life!). I am sceptical as to how effective the checking will be at any such venues. I have been away for work on 7 nights this month, eating out each evening and eaten out twice with family. Each meal was at a different location. I would only say that one had a rigorous check in procedure and three didn’t attempt anything beyond the nhs code printed on the door. This suggests to me that any such scheme may well lead to a false sense of security.

Surely a great prototypical excuse for no passengers in the coaches, traffic on the road or pedestrians in the street???

A friends husband used to be a professional footballer (league 2) and their son showed talent, to the point of being scouted twice to different academies of professional clubs. The father ended up getting asked not to attend games or training sessions at the village club his son played for due to the pressure he was putting on his son, despite being a very good coach to other youngsters. I have also seen a similar situation in the cadet section of one of the uk’s first aid charities, where parents acting as instructors put unfair pressure on their children to do well and over react to normal teenager behaviour because it is their child.

BBC Oxford had a piece from the Bourton Model Village today. They said they would have usually expected around 15,000 visitors year to date and have had 18,000…..with a much higher proportion of domestic tourists and no coach tours running…

I said to the wife during the race when CH made his first comments that he was simply trying to get into Lewis’s head and I haven’t changed my opinion so far.

Part of me wants it to happen again simply to see if Christian Horner actually explodes….

I cannot remember if it was here or another forum I mentioned it on but at work we compared notes with a Japanese supplier last summer, when people were comparing the uk rates to Asia. They said that to be declared as a COVID case there at that point, you had to have a positive test, to get a test you had to be extremely ill and already admitted to hospital.

The vast majority of people I know that drink it, like to think of themselves as adventurous and fit….and like nothing more than Vodka and Red-Bull halfway through the evening at the pub, or at lunchtime when hungover…. It isn’t just the microclimate of F1 but their wider package of sponsorship of almost any “extreme” sport from base jumpers, rock climbers, motor racing (bikes), BMX riders etc etc. to their sponsorship of events just as the soap box races and bird man competitions that needs to judged here, and I doubt CH’s wind will make it through to many of them.

My wife thinks I am spoiling our cat because I took the spring water from a tuna can, diluted it slightly and made him ice lollies….he isn’t interested in them as ice but loves the cold water as they melt…

Funnily enough on Tuesday morning I was personally impressed with not seeing any unmasked customers in the Didcot Tesco…

My employer went through a replacement web shop process at the start of the month. A single customer asked us to recover their basket as they had a large amount of items within it, in preparation for a shop opening. To do so took over half an hour and involved downloading, integrating and then matching 4 different database tables (customer details, product details. Order headers and order lines are separate tables in almost every web shop with primary keys to match them up) before importing and verifying in the new system. I am the only person in my company that had a clue on how to do it, as it meant going to the underlying server admin panel and database and not the interfaces the day to day staff use for their roles….the old developers are not interested in helping leave their services and the new ones would (rightly) charge to learn sufficient detail of the old system to action it correctly. You also cannot do it until the old site is offline as you need up to the minute data to work from (or do it twice to capture the latest information such as items people have removed from their baskets…!). It is not a straight forward or routine task and needs careful work, we made the same choices as rails and stand by it…

There was something said in the commentary about penalties not being announced in red flag time, is this to prevent strategy being changed accordingly before the restart?

Nah, it was just the number on the Clock she bought him…

There are a couple of councils have been known to install bollards on the pavement to block such driveways and protect the pavement and kerb from damage. https://news.merton.gov.uk/2019/01/21/council-installs-bollards-outside-homes-to-stop-illegal-crossover-parking/

Given the Mercedes chassis swapping the other week makes me wonder how much is truly saved this way…assembly costs only???
