In answer to that question, yes I did. My speed along the main road from my village to the motorway was never more than a couple of mph (Indicated) over the limit. And when in the residential streets in my village normally around 15-20. Part of the problem is that i've spent the last 30+...

Oops. I'm wondering if all the 20 signs plastered everywhere in my locale are because it was one of the test areas and so predated the change in the law.

Buy a cheap house because it is next to a busy racetrack. Moan, get track closed or heavily restricted, and house prices soars.

There are several main roads local to me with the 20 limit (it certainly hasn't just been applied to residential streets) and the journey times along them are noticeably longer, especially when you get stuck behind someone who is so afraid of breaking the 20 limit that they keep braking back...

If you see a 30 then it's a 30. All 20s have to be explicitly signed as I believe that the national criteria that any unsigned road with street lights is still a 30 My little village had no speed limit signs for the streets off the main road, but now has a proliferation of 20s everywhere. The...

What's a good starter hand grinder? I'm putting together a starter coffee kit present for a friend. The coffee will be made using an Aeropress and will be using a cheap set of 0.1g scales, but obviously need something to grind the beans with.

Even with some huntin', shootin', fishin' and foragin' £60 a month would be good going. I was spending £50/wk on food back in 2010. £50 combined for gas + electric is also very good going as is the £12 for water. I'm on my own and have a meter and still use quite a bit more than that.

£800/month seems remarkably low if you are still paying a mortgage. My fixed bills, plus variable spend (mainly food and fuel) come to more than that.

Isn't that a slightly skewed statistic as a significant %age of the Chinese population live in what is effectively poverty in remote villages and so don't actually contribute to the countries carbon footprint. If the whole country had the same living standards as Western Europe or the US their...

There might not be anything left of you if you fail though. Pigs will eat everything including the bones, if Snatch is to be believed.

How much of the council tax do you think actually goes into the upkeep of the roads and green spaces local to your house? It's going to be a tiny amount.

Once the engine and exhaust are up to temperature you want to be running at a sustained cruise. The last thing you want to be doing when trying to get the DPF cleared is drive in such a way that you are producing more soot.

It's covered on the BBC in the 13:02 post on the budget discussion.

There are a whole raft of reasons why you can't easily work abroad. If you are spending significant time in another country then you will be considered to be employed in that country which brings in tax, holidays, health care, maternity / paternity and other implications. This isn't straight...

I reckon he's trying to re-enact Kitten Kong from The Goodies

You may also have to be careful of jobs that don't allow dual nationality, even if the job would allow for people of either nationality.

The main reason why they were fast was at the other end of the car, it was the outwash front wing. You only have to look at the step change in the performance of the McLaren MP4-24 which went from a complete dog at the start of the season to winning races once they understood what the Brawn had...

Drag and drive season has started with Sick Week, running Orlando Speed World >> Bradenton Motorsports Park >> Gainesville Raceway >> South Georgia Motorsports Park >> Orlando Speed World Unfortunately Tom has signed up with Cleetus McFarland's Frdmplus platform so there don't appear to be any...

The top of the new dash is lower than the originals stuck on central screen. That screen, in conjunction with the low mounted rear view mirror, really did obscure the view through the central part of the screen.

The Ford Puma was indeed a fantastic little car. The current one isn't a bad steer either, after all it's based on the Fiesta.
