My trusty BP monitor, bought years ago at Lidl I think, has suddenly begun to fail after fairly intermittent use. On starting the test it starts pumping up the arm cuff to what seems like close to peak pressure, and then gives up and deflates.

I'd like to find a remedy, but first need to know whether it's the cuff or the monitor internals that's at fault. That could easily be found by trying the cuff on a known working monitor on which the cuff fits well, and/or trying a known ok cuff on mine. The cuff attachment nozzle diameter is 2mm internal, 4mm external. and its insertion length is 1.1mm. The socket is 5mm wide at its opening. Photo attached. It's branded Medisana, but I don't think a name match is vital. It's the fit that matters. I'll be glad to hear from anyone who thinks they might be able to help.

  Sadly I need additional help to stick to 20mph on local roads . I do have WAZE and see that I can have spped alerts turned on but presumably this would mean entering a route for each drive ? Is there a better app that will track my speed and alert me when I'm getting close to the limit ?

  In the country, where I have relocated to these things and dealing with council for all matters are dealt with in days… freely admit less population than london. Certainly faster in everything. Not surprised at all about Thames Water - remember years ago calling them about a leak in road - then it took a week for them to come out, despite daily calls from me. Disgusting at that time the lack of concern and wastage of water. Unbelievable that they are not held to account fir anything and that goes for Southwark Council as well.

  But without knowing the cause of the repeated leaks, it's impossible to comment really. Poor repairs? Something wrong further up the system? Lack of maintenance? When one of the leaks in our road recurred shortly after it had been repaired, a TW guy said to me that the repairers must have jumped too hard on the asphalt (?) laid above the point of the repair when they were getting it to settle (?) and broken the repair. I wasn't sure if he was joking or not 🤣
