I doubt it. He's still Editor in Chief of Associated Newspapers including the whole Mail group of titles and was probably behind Geordie Greig being sacked. .

Sit down somewhere quiet: I always do. Place cuff: I have to. the machine can't check it if I don't Check position of arm: Not necessary, it's always been attached to my shoulder. Press Go on machine: Check Repeat a few times: No, hiccups when checking sends the blood pressure soaring. .

Hence the random dates I check it, I'm not a worrier so if I get a very high reading my answer is to stop checking it for a while. As the old saying goes, what the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve over. .

Here's an interesting thought Oyster. That extreme pulse pressure was 2020, not '21 as I mistyped. Could getting a Covid infection cause a sharp rise in blood pressure? My blood pressure rises in the evening so I tend to check it at the usual peak times. In March 2020 London was hit...

Ditto with my one, it was a truly great little machine. .

Just keep reading this thread, Those pressures will soon go up! .

Program PM on BBC Radio 4? .

I have great pulse pressures, typically between 50 and 65. At 22.33 hrs on 15/3/20 I managed a pulse pressure of 119. World beating as Boris might say. I think just a benefit of age and experience. ;) .

Then let Germany put its money where its mouth is and leave the EU. I bet they won't. .

That gives me an idea. The average carbon burden of a person in the UK is 12.7 tonnes. Therein lies the answer to our sewage problem. For each illegal turning up in a rubber boat, we dump 12.7 tonnes of sewage off the French coast to compensate for the carbon burden they sent us. .

Whoops! The Royal Navy has lost an F35B into the Mediterranean. Luckily they are "only" £100 million each. I bet the Russians have already despatched one of their "fishing trawlers" from the Black Sea to look for it. .

Sorry to learn this Danidl, I hope all goes well from now on. .

Best left. As you say like all injured wild animals it will prefer to hide and the shock of capture when they are already severely injured can kill them anyway. .

Poor badger. Loud thumpy music makes me alternate between murderous and suicidal. .

You're right, badgers have poor visual acuity and are extremely short sighted so they frequently run in front of vehicles, getting killed. Their primary senses of smell and hearing don't serve them well where traffic is concerned. .

I waited years to 2018 for the third generation 160 mile range Leaf, since I needed to occasionally drive to my brother in Dorset and a sister in Suffolk. Since then that sister moved to Bulgaria and my brother passed away so now I've no need for any sort of long range. We Buy Any Car have...

No. If the generator is running and supplying the battery while driving, since the two currents cannot be separated it's a hybrid ic car in law so the use of red diesel is illegal. Nor can you run the generator when parked, since unnecessarily running an engine when stationary so creating...

Agreed, there will always be idiots of course, but that's very untypical of most e-car drivers. Don't forget that until a few months ago the big selling e-cars were the Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe. Most Tesla drivers are still very new on the scene since the more affordable Model 3 arrived...

Yes, it's in a limb of the estate I live on that's between the Selsdon Wood Nature Reserve and Bears Wood/Frith Wood, with the Surrey border at the end where there's a golf course and a mixed farm. The Roe Deer come into the garden too, this one on a recent Sunday morning:

As you'll see on the link below, I have very friendly relations with my badgers which have never dived in front of my bike: Badgers in a London garden .
