I agree. Having had prescription glasses since about 8 or 9 years old, I don't have that barrier! I'd also point out that some disorders can contribute to poor eyesight. One being hypothyroidism. In my view, deterioration of eyesight that includes focussing, poor low light vision, inability to...

I decided to try some over glasses. Had bought some similar but yellow ones for my mother who had macular degeneration. So recently got some polarised ones like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ABGN40G Haven't had much sun since I got them - at least not in my eyes while riding...

For someone who pontificates and pronounces in Latin, he doesn't deserve a scintilla of ignorance to be allowed as an excuse.

I could. You wouldn't expect a senior politician to say "mongoloid", "spastic" or any of many other disease-based illnesses in that way. That way of speaking was rightly seen as less than wholly acceptable language. Why does he think that "cretin" (and related words) is acceptable? I certainly...

The other day I pointed out that energy, at least in the form of an electrical interconnect, will not be subject to any tariff. That was in the context of the Pembrokeshire-Ireland cable.

On the precise model I did, the temperature sensing within the drive is reported - so any external sensor already present doesn't do the job. In some ways it seems sensible for the drive - which already has a sensor - to tell the system what temperature it is running at. For a start, it is the...

It rather depends on where you are! The main area of offshore sand and gravel landings is the South East Region. One third of the South East region’ primary aggregate requirements come from marine sources. The 10 million tonnes landed in the South East represents 75% of total UK marine...

But not for iPhone screens. When a later software update stuffs any that have non-Apple fitted replacement screens.

My goodness, it is a worthwhile upgrade. However, at least one model of 21.5" iMac can be problematical. We first replaced the hard drive when the original failed - that was a time to hold my breath as it was much newer and more valuable. Having done the hardware, we realised that the original...

July 2017 story said: 4648 - M4 Port Talbot west (average speed cameras) 3034 - M4 Port Talbot east (average speed cameras) https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/local-news/swansea-speed-camera-snapped-2000-13394100 The simple fact that such a large proportion of drivers do slow down suggests...

What I can tell you is that most drivers very significantly reduce speed through the Port Talbot. 50 a day were caught when it was established. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-west-wales-33135595

The M4 near Port Talbot has a fair stretch of permanent 50mph. I just set it and let the car manage speed. Amazing how many people cannot keep to 50mph - most sail into the restriction way over, and many go well under for some of it. Even though I don't have to, I do think I can manage it quite...

Most of us, I suspect, do! Just because that tax is technically collected due to ownership of cars doesn't make me a non-payer. (Between the two of us, we have two cars. We never have both on the road at the same time - double driveway helps! And mileage in the second one is minuscule. We must...

Choosing adaptive cruise control brought with it an impending crash detection system (seems to be AEB nowadays) - I think the hardware for adaptive makes AEB a "simple" addition - probably software.

I too say it is good. Indeed, it is excellent. Use it a lot. Although it is obvious to suggest it could result in lack of attention, I actually find the opposite. I am free to look everywhere without dropping my eyes to the speedo. Car also has a tiredness detector so, hopefully, if it...

I agree that some systems seem just to display - and maybe warn. But the descriptions of others appear to say that they are linked to speed control systems (cruise control) and automatically adjust, albeit with override. Also strikes me that a difficult situation is where we have 30mph limits...

Recently been looking round new cars and have been surprised how many are offering traffic sign recognition systems. (Maybe only top-end models - but quite a number.) Can't help but anticipate people imposing their own speed limits if these systems are unable to distinguish between official and...

I'm pretty careful about things like that! (Famous last words :) ) Do I have to fit the full complement of cells?

Appreciate the warning - will be very careful.

Apologies for taking so long to respond - have received the box and it looks fine. Now to order the batteries. Thank you.
