Even more specifically, it's not the falling, but the stopping!

Hello NP, long time no speak...
Hope everyone is well.
Had GT day mark 2 last month. Letter from the lender arrived saying not only was everything cleared, but they owed me £50.
Nice....It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
DG or anyone, have you ever installed electronic door locks? DD1 seems to have trouble holding on to her key and I quite fancy the idea of a fingerprint/keycode/mobile activated unlock system.
We had fingerprint locks in one of our offices for a while. Bit of a faff and not always reliable - they went back to ID card locks with a pin code. Was a while ago though so they might be better these days.
Keycode locks seem to be fine and more reliable, either mechanical or electronic, but of course there's the problem of changing codes regularly and then someone forgetting it.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

A good landing is one from which you can walk away.
An excellent landing is one where you can also use the aircraft again.

If you pull in somewhere tight and cars are there you can watch all your mirrors and turn slowly, watching your rear end in your side mirrors - but you're only looking in one at a time; it wouldn't take much for a small child/dog to run behind the car to retrieve, say, a ball. If there are lots of them, all over the place, you don't stand a chance really - and you can't simply stop the car, get out and lock it up and walk off, blocking the road.
Or maybe that IS part of the answer.... maybe when they are on the loose I should just block all access by any vehicle to the entire set of houses ..... just lock it up and walk off.
"I can't see them; I'm not that good at parking that I can be driving at the front/inside and also be out the back 'watching' in case ...." innocently
"I was scared" *cue daft girl look*
If you can't reverse safely because there are loads of very small kids about, then to carry on regardless seems wrong to me.** Maybe you need to get a reversing camera fitted?

But I thought Lemon bought a while back thus not sure why he is having GT day again - surely he isn't mortgage free already - that would be quicker than the nickster.....I think....0 -

It is always the drivers fault - pitch black night, cyclist with no lights or reflectors goes through red light and is hit by driver going through green - car drivers fault!I think....0
