Morning folks :okay: Rant alert! :rolleyes:In this age of communication....communication has never been more difficult and tortuous! maybe not if youre telling your Aunty flo on face book about your new curtains but try contacting a real live person about installing a new electricity meter and shooting oneself is the less painful option. Only the human species can create a hell where there shouldnt be and now phoning any company from the electric to Tesco's is painful or impossible. We're putting you through they say,,,,have 20 minutes of muzak before selecting option A - Z ,,,,,,none of which contains your queery/problem or complaint which is convenient for the company as complaints now dont exist...:rolleyes:

On the way to Aldi I saw a youngish man riding an illegal e-MTB down the road. (He was doing about 20 mph without pedalling so the vehicle was effectively an electric motorcycle.) He had his young son/kid brother standing on the back of the saddle with hands on the rider's shoulders. Neither were wearing helmets.

The child was in a pretty vulnerable position whizzing along like that, but what can you do?

ColinJ: I say, sir - your vehicle is illegal and I worry for the safety of the child on the back!

Rider: Thank you for alerting me to the problem - we will immediately dismount and push the vehicle up the hill. I will not make that mistake again!


:whistle:
Total quality brilliant.

I am frightened to ask but.....what sort of age is she ?
The dreaded 60...

(I didn't dread my 60th any more than any other random number but hers seemed to matter to her. What worries me is that it is nearly 44 years since we met - how did that happen so quickly? :eek:)

Very cold and hailstones , Wordle in 2 !!! ( very lucky with my first guess ) decided to get a watch to monitor my sleep patterns ( which are just terrible ) and general health/exercise , very confusing market out there . Fitbit don't seem too well regarded or reliable and Fenix6 have come down in price so might get one. Any suggestions ? The more I read about different models the more confusing it becomes

I have been getting the same annoying message message from CC for a while. Its asking my permission to "enable push" (whatever that is).
It appears I must have said yes at one time. I have been on and disabled push and it seems to be ok now.

Couple of them for sale on here might save you a little bit, although the price new has also dropped as the 7 is out now. They are good, but nothing apart from wearing electrodes on your head like in the sleep clinics are totally reliable. I think they try and calculate it through a combination of your heart rate and movement so a good guesstimate at best.
