  5. Wouldn't it cost less to CRT to put up cctv cameras or even employ a security patrol rather than keep paying to repair the locks?

  9. I've found it's the worst pubs which often have air conditioning :(
  10. The web page says it’s homeopathic. Most homeopathic treatments have a herbal origin.
  11. If it's expanded, surely you get more for your money?
  12. So it's best to buy diesel in the afternoon?
  13. Now wondering about a singing talent show where hopefully contestants stand on top of a certain Scottish bridge and sing Proclaimers songs.
  14. I don't know about the canals where you are, but round here the water is much warmer right now than it was in February. What's the forth factor?
  15. I think people might be comforted by their experience of car ferries and cruise ships etc. I've been out to sea in a small boat in waves which was told, werent that bad - I was terrified!!! There are female members on here? I was beginning to wonder
  16. I love reading about these kind of things but I think I'll stick to the safety of the canals for now! Eek - what about the big waves??
  17. I don't know much about diesel and I hadn't heard that it can expand. Now I don't know who to believe. I usually fill right to the top and never had a problem. How much space should I be leaving? What's the third factor?
  18. Self-checkouts are not in principle unethical. If it means that the supermaket is now more profitable then the total GDP for the country has gone up slightly, which means there is slightly more money for us all to share. This could mean that the welfare state is strengthened or could help towards the implementation of a universal basic income for all citizens. This would mean that the person who used to be sat on a till all day every day can now, more easily, pursue their dreams. That would be a good thing. Of course, that's not what happens. The self checkout is there to increase the profits of the supermarkets and the dividends of the shareholders. Ideally, we would have both self-checkouts and a government which actually had the interests of the whole population at its heart. Over the next decade, it's likely that entire industries will shed their workforce. Logistics and haulage for example. This won't mean that there's less money floating around for us all to share. So it means a massive opportunity exists to release millions of people from drudgery. In the past when similar changes in workforce have occurred, the result was that new jobs and industrys were invented to keep everyone busy - hence call-centres. I sadly expect that the same will happen this time.
  19. I just had a read through this. It shows me why it’s good to be wary of medical advice from non-experts. Some good tips there to avoid contact with pollen though such as water sprays. Has anyone used an air purifier? Did it work?
  20. Does anyone have any good advice? My hay fever is worse than ever at the moment. I’m thinking of getting a portable air purifier to keep pollen levels down in my boat.
  21. A smart phone is at its best compared to a dumb phone where there is no phone signal but you have WiFi. These days you can do anything you need with just the WiFi. Audio calls / video calls / messaging etc. None of these is possible on a dumb phone. It’s best to think of a smart phone as a tiny, very versatile, hand held computer. My old old iPhone fell in water and the aerial was damaged. It meant that the phone signal was almost non existent. I carried on using it as normal using the WiFi connected to a mifi device in my pocket.
  22. You don't need a radio. Put a radio app on your phone and sync it to a bluetooth speaker. More channels the DAB, probably better coverage too and you can also play itunes/spotify/deezer etc through the speaker. You can even use the speaker to link to a laptop/tv anything really. There are some excellent small bluetooth speakers now with 20 hours or more battery life.
  23. Yes. Good moorings at the junction. Then walk down the towpath and it splits off towards morrisons.
