On an opposite note open up an opportunity???? imagine the market for letters from authorised driving instructors saying little freddy has done SOOO well in his lessons and I would imagine there are quite a few that are quite desperate for money after all this one of the 'I can see your point but NO' things

Yes - do not think that is a good idea at all sympathy for those that want to do the test and can't but - in most cases it is a want not a need on a slight side topic - I have actually written to my MP about petitions because you can start a petition about anything - within reason and people can 'sign' it - but if you seriously disagree with it there is no way to say so the letter was in response to a petition about ebike speed limits (yeah - I know shock -me ebikes) which loads of people shout about but the silent majority thinks are OK same applies here - loads of 17/18 year old would sign up to this - but loads more people probably think it is a dumb idea

Mrs mikeprice has just asked me to keep an eye out for a parcel being delivered for her apparently anyone who is elderly - or in the shielding group - can apply for a delivery of Vitamin D because they are probably not going out much just thought people ought to know! apparently it is best taken with calcium - she said - and she generally knows about medical stuff having worked in care and at a hospital for most of her life anyway - I suggested we check and if there is no calcium included then I could ask the butcher for a bone she could gnaw just to check - women rolling their eye is a sign of love?????? asking for a friend -
that confuses me even though I have seen similar many time just how many fish can a heron find in a puddle even if it is 5 inches deep????? how do they get there???

What we have here can't really be called rain - just drizzle - that light annoying sort that just gets you wet and miserable all day

I paid upfront for a carpenter to build me a double bed and the bugger has only gone and done a bunk! It's just one thing on top of another.

When I was working I always started the year by remarking "is it me or is this year dragging" Oh how we laughed! This year it would seem especially apt! Good wishes to everyone working out there -
Good to hear take it easy and look after yourself

Hmmmm I have come across a lot of these things - and a lot of discussions about batteries, charging times etc etc and this all looks a bit ambitious firstly - friction drive systems were abandoned many years ago due to impracticability - and they tend to wear out the tyres like crazy and don;t react well to wet conditions secondly - range is very limited - and there is a tendency to over estimate - but based on the charge time it looks dodgy - my bike can do about 40 miles on one charge - but it takes 4-5 hours to go from flat to fully charged - if this can charge in 45 minutes the battery capacity is quite low but mostly - the motor power is claimed to be 450W - which is not road legal in the UK or EU and, of course, it looks terrible There are loads of upgrade kits for bikes ===> ebikes on the market - you can convert a normal bike to ebike for cheaper than that Interesting thing though - thanks

Sounds like schools vary - which is to be expected your school seems to have come up with a sensible plan - other may be less willing or able to do so depending on specific circumstances all we can really do it make the best of what we are given for now - and hope the vaccine works as the government hope - and no problems arise to screw the whole thing up -
Where I grew up - on the Wirral - there is a park and it has an elevated track which a local club run steam trains on They pull carridges that people can ride on - I couldn't wait for my daughter to become old enough to go on it - with Dad so she would feel safe Once all this virus stuff is over I must take the grand-kids there - it will be good for them!!!

Normal message saying something but not what you think it is saying probably find the plan is that everyone will have been offered a jab - but it will only mean the first one By then who knows what the delay before the second one will be I suspect they are privately planning on everyone having SOME protection by autumn - then doing it all properly next year with the 2 jabs - but which time the immediate problem of teh hospitals will have got better due to most people having 70% ish protection then the proper schedule next year will kill it off unless.........
