Glad to see you can still type, and all the best
On another note...
As I am sure one or two may have seen, I recently had a run-in with a tanker. During the police interview yesterday, the WPC mentioned that without my helmet camera, they would probably not have been able to charge the driver, as it would have been my word against his.
I bought the camera for £25 from Amazon and spent 20 minutes setting it up – I bought it for recording the traffic, not to post adventures to youtube. But as a result of that purchase, a bad driver will face the law, rather than taking a telling off from his boss. I was always a little suspicious of the helmet camera lot – they could sometimes be a bit obsessed about whether an overtake was necessary – but I honestly now wouldn’t do my commute without it.
So not much help to you in this instance Hood, but for those who put a lot of miles under their tyres, it might become a bit of kit every bit as essential as a helmet. Of course, that is another debate…
