Thats exactly what the PCSO that leafletted our street said was the model. But you cannot simply do it by measure as we have hedges all over, and some are quite stiff and prickly and fall out over the pavement meaning anyone with just so much space has to bend sideways to avoid them. Then there...

It does feel that way but I suspect They think it easier to ban generally and allow where necessary, rather than allow generally and ban where necessary. Enforcement is an issue in any case. Everyone on our street had a letter from a PCSO stating that parking close to the junction would result...

Parking round our way takes the biscuit. We often get cars up on the pavement parked opposite cars parked equally so. One does it first, then the opposite neighbour does same to avoid blocking the road. But... every house here has a drive that can take at least 3 cars plus the garage - park on...

I can't remember when I've ever had to either open or close a train door because the few times I get a train there's usually a crowd which I follow. Mind you I reckon I'd figure it out. (that said I did once get stumped by a glass office door that said Pull so there I was pulling - I'd read the...

Having only used eTickets once so far my input is limited but personally I would prefer them as I did find it easier to produce those to the guard rather than fumble for my wallet. It was a little complicated in that I had my wife’s ticket on my phone too *. No issue in presenting both on the...

One other thing to remember when using offsite storage of any kind (cloud, ftp to somewhere, etc) or any form of encryption is to ensure you can remember any passwords you need, and also back up any encryption keys (or whatever) you may need to re-gain access to said offsite storage after your...

While drifting off topic this might be of use. On bailiffs we actually had an incident of this at our rented property. A previous tenant had used it as a service address as he was a director of a local company. He left and a new tenant moved in. He also resigned from said company. A few months...

Look for trademarks too - see e.g. https://www.gov.uk/search-for-trademark - logos and such are likely to be trademarks. the trademark register is also another way to find the possible owner of dead marks. Taking GNER, it seems dead...

I started on my 18th birthday in 1977, retired last year after over 40 years, same company, different roles. I went in with 4 'O' levels and they sent me to college on 'day release', one day a week for 2 years. I got a City and Guilds in computer programming from that. I went from technical...

Out of interest what part of the prescription do you use to derive these figures, is it 'Sph' or 'Sph' + 'Cyl'? Academic for me as at nearly 60 I'm not planning to become a driver.

aka superelevation, its where one rail is raised relative to the other e.g. on curves the train is trying to slide off sideways so raising that rail caters for the cornering forces (someone else will hopefully come up with a far better explanation but basically that's it) - think of a banked...

I once had a van and a land rover neither of which would exceed 40MPH - mind you, I never once took either on a motorway as I considered it would be grossly antisocial!

Not quite OT but we went to a pub in Eccleshill (w yorks) decades ago and were met with a wall of sound (live band) so bad it hurt - had to turn and leave. Also one Christmas do we were not allowed into a pub in Leeds because we didn't have enough girls with us!!

I will probably vote labour but not sure. I always voted lib demo because our local MP was a great bloke, but for the last general I voted labour as lib dem had little chance nationally. Anyway, the local labour guy is also ok. Awkward really, do you vote for the MP that actually does good for...

My first programming was in machine code - not even assembler code but hard coding byte by byte using switch programmers to code into EPROMS! Mind you that was in the late 1970's and I soon progressed to assembler code, then pascal on CP/M, all on what were then new fangled 8-bit...

I can relate to that having retired last year after 40+ years in academia. But as a minion, I could always fend for myself. Uni campuses tend to have everything one needs to never need to leave. We had (well, it still has!) 15 coffee bars, one large refectory, one complex of posh eateries that...

Sorry my mistake I have absolutely no idea why I read the OPs message as electrocardiogram where it clearly says echocardiogram, thus my confusion! My excuse if I've been on track far too long today.

I don't follow. An ECG is an Echocardiogram but your text seems to suggest you had some other scan, then another ECG? Anyway it would be difficult to prove that the first ECG was in error unless you could actually prove that it was carried out wrong or interpreted incorrectly. There may well...

Hehe. No, West Yorks but one was Irish, and about 140 years old.
