    How much do you trust an indicator?

    My 'new' car is either still too old and/or not of sufficient spec to have these ;)

    migrants commit less crime, proportionally, than British citizens

    Sorry Notch, on some stuff I agree with you, however as I recently touched on in another thread, for me the % of crime they commit is almost an irrelevance. The core fact remains. We need to stop the boats. We need to have a genuinely robust immigration system that doesn't simply rubber stamp...

    How much do you trust an indicator?

    I think we're referring to slightly different things. I'd need to double check, however I don't think the daytime running lights on my car emit the same amount of brightness as having low beams on. I get your point thought re folk sitting facing oncoming traffic with their low beams on. What...

    Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

    I'm relatively confident that should Reform form the next government, we'll start to get the same rhetoric here that we currently see from Trump. i.e. anything reported that he doesn't agree with tends to get labelled as fake news. I can already see Farage et al. doing exactly the same.

    How much do you trust an indicator?

    I had a 2008 Seat Leon 1.9 TDi from new. Had to let it go earlier this year :( It had just under 100k on the clock. For the last few years I used it in exactly the way you're advised not to use diesels. Mainly short journeys due to WFH and only doing a few thousand miles per year. In all...

    Liverpool Man Sentenced

    I think the judge referenced that in their summing up. He essentially lost his temper and snapped.

    Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

    This is the thing. Did they mean to put a transition between the clips as would be the norm, or did they intentionally falsify.

    Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

    ? He was implying. Implying that he didn't say some of the words broadcast by the BBC

    Liverpool Man Sentenced

    He'll serve 2/3 then be out. Meanwhile, he's left many with life changing injuries both physical and mental.

    Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

    He really is a class act. Sitting in the white house saying he thinks the BBC maybe even used AI, implying (or trolling?) that he didn't say some of the stuff.

    Trump is suing the BBC for Ten Billion USD.

    I think the BBC should pay, nip this in the bud. Send Trump a cheque made out to the value £0.01.

    How much do you trust an indicator?

    My 'new' car is 10 years old and is the first I've owned with these auto lights. I can see the logic in this feature, given it's not unusual to see folk driving with no lights on around town when it's dark. Many other 'features' of modern cars I could do without though.

    Make Britain Great Again

    I'm not sure what it's like down south, but up here it used to be the case if a landlord took on a tenant who was on benefits, the rent would be paid directly to the landlord by the local council. This actually made such tenants quite a safe bet for landlords. Then, in their infinite wisdom...

    How much do you trust an indicator?

    The folk that get me are the ones that don't indicate, then as they're pulling in, you'd swear they're giving you a smug look. I normally say PR1CK out loud to destress myself :)

    How much do you trust an indicator?

    When I was taking my motorbike lessons (alas I never completed them) one of the instructors was telling us about defensive riding and said 'base your riding on the assumption that no other vehicles have seen you, especially when you're passing junctions with a vehicle waiting to pull out.'

    How much do you trust an indicator?

    Driving home this evening, stopped at four way roundabout waiting to turn left. Cars approaching from the right. I watched this car not going fast, not going slow, with its left indicator on as if going to, well, turn left. Something made me think 'nah, they're not' so I stayed where I was...

    Make Britain Great Again

    This is of course true. However, recent UK governments haven't helped the situation by allowing the significant increase in migrants coming in via unapproved routes. I'll say again, it's almost irrelevant if e.g. the number of small boat migrants isn't significant in the grand scheme of...
