    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Isn’t the advice to self isolate if you consider that you may be at risk ( due to travel etc ) but if you have symptoms you should immediately contact 111 ? Thankfully I have not had to do that so I don’t know what they ask but I wonder what DOC and procedure is implemented at that stage...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wouldn’t like to form an opinion based on “shite“ in the press :)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree. There are different types of miss use, some small scale fiddling Now I live in a small agricultural community, there is the odd road vehicle running on red but it’s not too common as there is roadside testing, People don’t benefit too much from running an old Pickup on red, the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Proving the actual usage to obtain the rebate may in fact be the driver behind this. It’s far too easy to have a delivery of red (edit) or green of course :) which is then shared between vehicles that should and shouldn’t obtain the rebate. At the moment there is no way to know what is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Red diesel and heating oil are different. They have different colours and chemical traces and they attract different revenue rates. Any increase in red diesel cost will affect me although the amount that I use is so small I won’t notice it to be fair. It will stop the road hauliers that...

    E-bike rider weeps as he is cleared of death by careless driving

    Sorry our replies crossed in the post :-) I’m just pointing out that there are a number of occupations and activities that require you to show good character when applying, it’s the important ones that require you to openly disclose your past. Anyway enough .. no point dwelling on it.

    E-bike rider weeps as he is cleared of death by careless driving

    He couldn’t lay bricks on some jobs then :-) Actually he would almost certainly get clearance even with a record if he disclosed it. It even says that no offence is considered spent on the forms. In fact I think it’s the same with a FAC although I can’t remember if it specifically mentions...

    E-bike rider weeps as he is cleared of death by careless driving

    A mistake made many years ago doesn’t automatically preclude you from certain occupations or activities but a failure to disclose anything, even a minor motoring offence, let alone a custodial automatically will. Anyway it’s most likely not going to be an issue to him anyway.

    E-bike rider weeps as he is cleared of death by careless driving

    For some purposes an offence is never spent

    E-bike rider weeps as he is cleared of death by careless driving

    Somebody somewhere will or already has made a judgement call on whether it’s in the public interest and I suspect it will all disappear into the noise now. However on the basis that I was completely wrong in my guess about what was going to happen, that could be completely wrong :-)

    E-bike rider weeps as he is cleared of death by careless driving

    They can be recorded if another “crime” occurs at the same time. Had he been found guilty of the more serious issue of causing death then the other offences would have been recorded on his criminal record. If he ever had reason to disclose convictions he would have needed to disclose...

    E-bike rider weeps as he is cleared of death by careless driving

    They heard the evidence and they saw his demeanour in court which is more than I did! On that basis who am I to question their decision. Whilst I’m surprised at the outcome, that’s the basis of our justice system.

    Dalston fatal e-bike crash rider 'going too fast' - Court Case

    I wonder how accurately the darlings in the press have accounted for his lack of remorse and attitude. (edit) the jury actually saw his conduct, I certainly havent.. As previously we only know part of the story, his fleeing the scene was reported as damning, when frightened to death having just...

    The Law

    I’ve never really been that interested in gardening, although my rhubarb is pretty much ready for the first harvest of the year. One of my neighbours keeps horses and a good dose of manure top feeding brings it on a treat in spring.

    The Law

    I have a number of hobbies and pastimes, for some reason most of them sit on the edge of what people consider normal. Not that I care about that :-) I’m part of a number of online forums and there is one thing common to all of them. Pretty much everyone hates everyone from another group...

    Advice wanted for DIY Welsh commuter (Trek FX conversion?)

    Okay if that’s the case it makes sense, I’m trying to avoid something that runs in the wet and mud really so anything running on the rim is only going to be squeezing the rim a bit more for less handle effort, so probably won’t reduce the wear on the blocks caused by the grinding paste effect :-)
