I give up I really do I just had a letter this morning from my Housing Association to quit my garage in four weeks time as they want to pull them down, “we may be able to offer you another garage, but it may not be as close as to your property”
I got two choices give up all my cycling and kayaking or have a garage that could be away from my home, but I would not get insurance on it, it was bad enough trying to get insurance when it was 100 yards away.

Dreadful.
Maybe worth throwing a few quid at a decent solicitor.
Those barstewards that make the decisions dont give a monkeys about you or anyone else

Not sure what you mean @classic33 . They are manufactured by Humax and Branded " YouView" or "BT" . The label on the back of mine has a Humax reference. Functionally they take an aerial feed and pass it through to the TV when the Box is switched off. When the box is switched on it offers a user interface for browsing available channels and watching/recording in real time, or at some future date.

He was being funny re the Human rather than Humax typos no doubt due to auto correct I think.

When you download the ap you agree to let it know via GPS where you are.

If you hadn't agreed, it wouldn't be able to tell you if you were in a low risk, medium risk, or high risk area at any given time

I'll have to test this because I was asked for my post code which is in a high risk area.

Need to do a long ride to get out of Lancashire!!!!

Ah! That's strange, I read the post and even though the words were highlighted I still didn't spot that autocorrect had changed Humax to Human.
Which brings us to the fascinating subject of how the brain filters what we see ( or think we see) and the information coming in through our sense organs.

Could never really work with them.
I really need a good sharpener as mine is a basic 'push pull' type that is just about ok

I don’t fancy riding in that cold wind. Think I will just have another slightly longer walk this afternoon.

Been out for a enjoyable spin into Midlothian, a fresh and bright autumnal morning. Temps about 8 or 9, might have nudged 10 by the time I got back. Felt colder in the wind. Had a good view of a nuthatch that landed on the road in front of me, not something you see every day.

It has to know where you are as it can't tell your in a higher risk area. And I don't think it will allow you to use the ap if you don't agree to it doing so
