    Electric vehicles

    One bus a day the luxury. There are some villages around here that a bus one day a week. Once in the morning to take you into town then latter to return you to the village. Unless someone can drive you or you can walk to the main road your stuck. Self driving cars could well end up cheaper and...

    Electric vehicles

    What do you mean about flight controllers? There is a train leaving Colchester in 7 minutes for £85.50 which appears to be the normal price for off peak. If you wait until11.12 you can do it for £66.50 one way. First class is £197.50 or £144.30 at 11.12 but there are only 7 tickets left.

    I would be surprised if you are forced to share as in sat next to each other on the back seat of a cab.

    Rutlands Warning!

    Rutlands state they are "Showing our 4 & 5 star reviews". This implies that they are selected 4 and 5 star reviews. It is stated on trust pilot that they do select the reviews. I assume if you posted " 5 stars Brilliant tool but arrived a week late" it would not make our 4 & 5 star reviews. If...

    Rutlands Warning!

    I have no objection to a company having highest first as the default order for reviews as long it is clearly displayed and can easily be changed to most recent. i always change it to lowest first which does bring up some stupid ones but can be useful. Earlier I posted that someone put in a...

    I have just purchased two Narex 8112 Mortice Chisel s from Wood Workers Workshop- 8mm and a 4mm. £15.90 each. have no idea how good they are, have cut a few mortises for locks over the years with beveled chisels (I think they may have been from B&Q about twenty years ago) but I would like to...

    Garden bench feet - best way to slow rot?

    When air moves over a surface it is slowed. The rougher the surface the more it is slowed. The further you get away from the surface the less the effect. Even flat paving slabs or concrete will produce some resistance to the wind. Slower wind less drying.

    Rutlands Warning!

    I am not confusing the Rutlands site with anything. Rutlands appear to select a number of four and five star reviews to show, they certainly do not show anything that does not have a four or five star review. Rutlands make the choice to show reviews, which they select. If their website is...

    Garden bench feet - best way to slow rot?

    Lifting up the bench 10 - 20mm on some plastic will increase the airflow around the bottom of the legs but I do not know how much. The friction of the patio on the air will slow the wind down, so it will not dry as much.

    Garden bench feet - best way to slow rot?

    My bench in south Devon has been sitting outside for the last 25 years. Think I got it from B&Q,. It is on a paved area raised up 10mm on some bridge bearing shims (solid black plastic about the same plane area as the legs). I have rubbed some oil into it a few times but not every year. There is...

    Electric vehicles

    There aren't that many ambulances. There would be far more shared self driving cars. A vehicle would park when not in use except if it dropped off at an isolated house. Outside of rush hour I would thought that most streets would have a self driving car parked in them. I would assume that...

    I would assume that you would have to have cameras in them to detect vandalism etc. They would then get the cleaning bill just like you would get for a hire car.

    Rutlands Warning!

    It is not clearly displayed that they are only displaying 4 and 5 star reviews. If you decide to click on "trust pilot" at the bottom of the page, there is no indication that you should click it, then a page comes up ""Showing our 4 & 5 star reviews"". You can then click trust pilot on that...

    Electric vehicles

    Most cars have no people in them what so ever outside rush hour. When I was working in London I could get from site to site quicker on the bus than the people I was supervising in their van. I did not have to look for a place to park which is inherently time inefficient. I could also work on...

    Electric vehicles

    They weren't at the same time! but I did get a few strange looks sat on the chair at the bus stop and in Exeter bus station. The office chair and small table did involve two changes of bus. I am currently sat on the chair and the table forms a utilitarian bedside table. The office where I was...

    Rutlands Warning!

    Collaboration is a good idea to make use second item at reduced price deals. But it would be better if it you had a choice from a list of second items. What I have bought from Benchdogs has been very well made. I was a bit surprised that the person did not read the instructions when they did...
