I hear that the speed awareness course in Wales is now fully booked until 2050.

You're in the final of the club golf tournament.

After the 17th, you and your opponent are tied.

You tee off on the 18th, straight down the middle of the fairway, 260 yards drive.

Your opponent hooks his tee shot into the woods.

You spend 10 minutes helping him find his ball.

You take your next shot, he says, I'll carry on looking and if I can't find it I'll go back to tee and play another ball.

You play your next shot, it lands six yards from the pin.

Your opponent shouts found it, his ball lands 4 inches from the pin, a gimme.

Here's your dilemma, do you take the lieing bastards ball out of your pocket, or do you keep your mouth shut!

You could just turn it off, shower under a dribble and save the planet!   >:D
Barry knows all about dribbles  ;D

Pot and kettle come to mind  ;)

Is it thermostatic?  If so, valve failing?

No experience with any shower valves beyond Aqualisa, so could be barking up the wrong tree completely

No idea if it's thermostatic, gut feeling says it's not.

This morning the shower pump started 'hunting'.

It works either full on hot or full on cold but any temperature in between it 'hunts'.

A friend of my wife's husband front ended his Nissan Note(someone has to own one).

It was taken in for repair and he was provided with a courtesy car - nearly 5 months ago!

Repairer says they are awaiting parts.

It's a 2013 Nissan, I would have thought the cost of the courtesy car and repairs must be more than the cars worth.
A friend of yours then, Barry? ;D

if you met him, you wouldn't want him as a friend - bit of a w*n*e* ;D

Nearly new cars are being written off for minor bolt on damage due to parts lead times and shortages.

Yes, but they haven't written this one off - yet.

Best tyres should be on the rear, as most people can deal with understeer or front end lock-ups, less people nowadays can cope with oversteer.  More so with cheap budgets, where the dry v wet grip is so dramatically different, and can catch people unawares.



I usually put the best on the rears if the car setup allows, even with the decent tyres I choose.

I don't have a problem with oversteer/understeer as I never go over 35mph, and 5mph around corners.

People who stand in doorways/gangways, when good honest folk like myself want to proceed unimpeded.
I notice people do this at the end of escalators - they reach the end and stop and have to think where they want to do, and then get all shitty when the escalator piles more people into them.

Not me, I only do that when I get out of a lift, bus or train.

If that dictator in London recons 90% of the cars are ULEZ compliant, why does he want to extend it?

And don't get me started on those who spoodle along at 30mph on a twisty country A road....   >:(
With all the A roads around here being 50mph* and everyone insisting on driving 15mph below the limit, 35mph is the norm around here.  Until you hit a village with a 30mph limit, then everyone speeds up.


*And I'm sure all the 40mph limits on country roads in Oxfordshire will soon radiate out this far  >:(

Opposite around here, mainly 30mph, everyone drives at anything between 40 - 70mph.
