Lens is your friend. It's a "mini smart charger" on sale at Amazon.

Partly cloudy up here in London. Train journey went quickly as I had three teenage boys escorting me. All chatting about their sports prowess - triathlon, swimming, bikes etc. Good lads.

Re: Legal Insurance

When I lived in Germany, legal (costs) insurance was very common. I had recourse to it a couple of times. The HUK insurance reimbursed the full invoice.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

Morning all. Rain forecast but currently clear. When I started work with the GPO IN 1961, up at the trainng school in Stone, Staffs, we used to have accident-prevention films showing real incidents.

Re: Clocks UK

Most devices here and in Spain are coupled to the internet. Only the old fashioned timers need doing.

Re: What a dreadful schedule!

Back at work I'd have a normal office day from 08:30, go home at 17:30, then be back and on duty at 23:00 as a member of the Gold launch team, we'd put a spacecraft into orbit around 02:00, I'd be relieved around 04:00 by my counterpart in the Silver team, and back for the start of my normal day at ...

Re: Electric Cars II - Not Silly!

I just walked up Harley St. The only electric vehicles are Tesla - quite a few. But a lot more Lotus, Maclaren, Porsche, Lambos, Daimler Benz, Rangies etc.

Happy Easter ! A grey wet start to the day. Mrs OFSO off to Kingston while I lounge at home this morning. Up to London for zapping number twelve this afternoon. Hopefully in the dry by then.
