I'm going to add a fourth recommend for Rob Mills. A while back he did my boiler check and was so much more thorough than the previous boiler engineers I'd used, also taking the time to explain everything he was doing and why, which was extremely reassuring. Then this last weekend, when it was freezing cold, my boiler stopped working early on Saturday morning and was throwing out error messages that I couldn't resolve. He walked me through various steps to try via text message and resolved the issue for me with no charge. I was incredibly grateful and honestly, highly recommend him.

My daughter is trying to find a multi vitamin for my granddaughter who is a very fussy eater. Basically she's living on yoghurt, breadsticks & banana's at the moment. Can anyone recommend a vitamin? Preferably one that's nice tasting if its liquid form. Thank you

I would challenge that. Price is a function of supply and demand - that's what I learnt at school anyway. It doesn't matter what your costs are, if supply increases and demand remains constant, prices (rents) will fall. And vice versa

I don't think there is any disagreement on what the signs say. The killer point, was just that the sign says there is a 5 mph speed limit. It's not the revelation Rocks thinks. 🤣 This is a fair point. It's possible I am easily distracted from what I should be doing on occasion 😉.

Hi, I'm looking for a recommended carpenter/joiner to install an internal glazed door in SE26. Job involves: • removing a decorative arch + infill glazing • squaring the opening • hanging a 4-light glazed door (approx 1981×825) I prefer someone who’s done this before and can make good trims ready for painting. Any recommendations with phone number and experience you had with them would be greatly appreciated!

Suggestion Why don't you both provide recent photos of the relevant signs so everyone reading this can see what they say. Question Are you all in the same retirement home or different ones as you seem to spend all your days posting? 🤣

And your 'big reveal' is that the sign says that the speed limit is 5 mph? 🤣. You also just demonstrated that you've never looked at the sign by the main entrance to the park that does actually have some detail on it, but let's gloss over that. Without a bye-law or other specific statutory regulation applying to the parkland, any speed-limit sign in a park is not legally enforceable. It might act as a guidance or policy notice but not a legal obligation enforceable in court. And as speed limits do not generally apply to bicycles, scooters or 'hover boards' (not sure what that means), they would have to be specifically referenced. What's the byelaw here? I have no problem in principle with a speed limit in a park, as I've already said. I do think 5 mph for a bicycle is far too low though. Even children will generally cycle faster than that, as at less than 5 mph an inexperienced cyclist will actually be unstable. Effectively you may as well call for a ban on people riding their bike, which I think would be a really sad move. It would also be strange to apply the same 5 mph limit placed on people taking vans and cars through the park, to people on their bicycles - it demonstrates a complete lack of any sort of proportionality, or risk based assessment. It's irrational (or perhaps 'ideological' is more accurate). It's very strange that you would argue otherwise, whilst also describing a 20 mph speed limit on a road that sees significant numbers of serious accidents as 'ridiculous'.

But it is because it is a shared-use route on private land and the signage itself makes it very clear what the speed limit is. What you or I think is irrelevant as the speed limit is 5mph. And it applies to bicycles too. If you have an issue with that you need to contact the council and ask them to increase the speed limit - I doubt they will as they are trying to protect the other shared-use users. No because as someone who does know what the sign says and shows it was clear to me you didn't have the foggiest clue as to what you were talking about. That's not weird.

@first mate I do wonder whether the warning of trolling the lady in the video was told sbout when she decided to go public may actually be from cycle lobbyists accusing her of betraying the oath of cyclists - that they're own recklessness can never be acknowledged. If people like @malumbu, who I believe has claimed to have taught cycling, cannot acknowledge the need for greater education within the cycle community and wants people to "move on" what hope is there?

And? Does it mention bicycles specifically? Because again, without a byelaw or traffic management order clearly stating that it applies to bicycles, it is not legally enforceable. You've said that you think the 20 mph limit on the A205 is 'ridiculous'. Presumably you consider it disproportionate, or inappropriate in some way, relative to the number of serious collisions that take place on that road? Why do you think that it's proportionate for the 5 mph speed limit in the park to be extended to bicycles? Do you think they pose the same risk to other park users as a car, or that it's a particularly dangerous environment, unlike the A205? No, you repeatedly asked me to 'describe the sign', with no explanation as to why. That is weird. If you have a point to make, do so, rather than playing silly games. As it happens you didn't have a point, which is doubly strange imo, but fair enough, I'm sure there was a killer point in there somewhere 🤔.

Strange isn’t it…..other European countries s actually come up with solutions to house homeless people, which are pod structure, use of office blocks, etc. homeless are provided with thermals, warm sleeping bag and tent or pop up tent plus tech friendly clothing which means they are warm in extreme conditions. Us in UK? Nothing but chuckinto house of multiple occupation, which is usually not warm and not all have mould, but some do.. live in one room even if you are a family with good only knows what other sort of people… not referring to ethinicity here but more along the lines of mental health problems, drugs, alcoholics. Single and families all in one property. Or if you are one of the lucky ones, into a hotel you go… Why don’t we as a nation claw back more money in the form of tax or avoidance avoidance, off shore accounts or other ways that rich or investors do buck the system….

The signs which are at all the entrances to the park (which are comprised of one round blue one and one round red one - can you remember from the Highway Code what that means.....;-)) show that it is a shared-use route to be used by certain groups only, that users must give-way and priority to pedestrians and unleashed dogs and that the speed limit on the shared-use route is 5mph. I am not sure it's right you suggest I am being "weird" I was merely asking if you had any knowledge of the sign you were talking about. Per the forum rules are you allowed to accuse someone of being weird?

The signs at the main entrance, by the barriers says this. Definitely did anyway, unless there has been a recent change. I don't know what the your point is here? What is it you think the signs say in relation to bicycles, or are you just being weird? What is it you're trying to say without actually saying it?
