    electric scooters

    When I attended a speed awareness course a few years run by the AA (not that one!) the guy running the course told us categorically you would never get done for 10% over the limit. HO guidelines used to be 10% +2mph but from anecdotal evidence this doesn't seem to be applied. Incidentally the...

    One-*** efficacy questions

    In the end In the end it doesn't matter what rules/guidance/laws they bring in if certain sections of the population don't take any notice. e.g. Students returning last Autumn, Liverpool supporters having street parties when they won the PL! (probably a bit of jealousy there as my team will...

How many people reading this have ever had to make decisions on the scale that Govts around the World...

They didn't like that reply either. About 3 months later the HR Director asked me (hypothetically) if they...

    Howdens Joinery prices?

    I used to have a Howden account but it lapsed. Sales Rep then rang me up about 6 months ago to see if I wanted to set it up again. I pointed out that I didn't like the fact I couldn't go on line and price things up. He told me they had changed the system and your account had a log in and the...
