  1. For those who have ordered Calendars this year they should be posted towards the end of this coming week.

    a couple of screen shots showing the cover and new layout. This year each month is two A4 landscape, the top with the Photograph and the bottom with the calendar. You still have time to orders yours or for a gift.

  2. This is interesting to read. The same scenario is happening everywhere. There was a trend to put out to bid lots of contracts by consecutive Governments. Segregate off parts of the NHS into trusts for example. each one bids and usually underestimates the cost of providing the contracted services which is also usually has the requirements badly captured. In doing so the then cut services where ever possible whilst maintaining those that are officially metricated and monitored. The spiral then continues the next time the contract is up for rebidding. The outcome is the focus on clearing people off the waiting list that is monitored and onto another that is not or even just taken off completely with a review in so many months.

    Staff that joined the NHS to treat people are totally disillusioned, nurses do not get any time to spend with patients other than the bare minimum. 

     

  3. I think I do upyour 45 method. Drive close to the side of the empty slot, at the right time turn away from the slot leaving the rear of the car positions so that I can then reverse in turning the wheel to line it up. When lined up reverse in. I always use the mirrors rather than lean over and look out of the back window. As Peter said if you need to drive out of the slot to line it up more centrally do so and reverse back in.

    Ok, I freely admit to doing this too.  I also use the imaginary passenger side brake when i feel we should be braking sooner! 

     

     

    My Sara does that too. I tell her to get her foot off the brake. After many years of marriage it does tend to turn into background noise.

  6. My son borrowed my automatic yesterday for the weekend..... when I got it he called it a go cart! I had to go from North Hampshire to Borehamwood to see CIN. M25 was solid from M3 to A1 and I was in my wife’s manual car. Never again, bring back my go cart. 

    My go cart has working indicators. My wife does say I will have to give the BMW back as I keep using them. What I cannot understand is why standards are slipping and the authorities are letting other makes of car use my BMW lane on the Motorway.
