At the moment, the application form only asks whether the driver can read a car number plate correctly from a distance of 20m. Glasses may be worn. The driving licence will then show if glasses are required to be worn.

On Newsnight (Wed?), Zia Yousef stated that there were certain elements of the Act which will be amended. In particular those which disadvantage white young men. Rees-Mogg was also on the programme and was quickly shut down by Victoria Derbyshire, as he 'shockingly' AGREED with Zia's comments...

Went to Cyprus one year when kids were teenagers. Plenty of beaches with the added convenience of an overnight ferry/coach to visit Cairo museum and the pyramids.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3dzxk7rn43t In 1982 it was the BBC who informed the world that the Argentinian bombers were not fuzing their bombs correctly during the Falklands War. Here they are again telling the world where the US Navy is as they prepare for potential action. When you...

Nothing seen in response to my emails requesting info :( Intention now is to replace batteries, rebuild ROV and test it in the bath. :D
