Spell it out...

No problem unlocking mine but it autolocks when the ignition is turned on. 3 attempts to start and needed to use the mechanical unlock.

Dam charger is probably 25+ years old and pretty sure battery chemistry has changed so aught to get a new one really. Gunson automatic with a float setting.

Bit cheesed off with prices for similar to the Gunson. Found a £25 12a china on amazon with all good reviews but saw Maypole - good old brit make, probably not any more but the workshop ones have a 30sec boost for starting built in so as the 20a charger is little more than the 12a went for that one £60 though.

Me? I'm not the one complaining, though I'm ambivalently content with the job the police and officials are doing. I'm not the one determined to be disobedient or keen to break the law, either.

Don't be silly. You can't see it, can you?
I'm not determined to be disobedient OR keen to break the law.
I want everyone to be able to do what they are ALLOWED TO DO UNDER THE CORONOVIRUS REGULATIONS without being stopped, questioned and fined by police who are using their own misguided interpretation of the regulations that are there in black and white on the internet for all to see. It's not difficult to read the actual regulations and understand what is and what isn't allowed.

And I am deeply concerned that the more members of the public lie down and allow the authorities to get away with this without being questioned, the worse the situation will become.
I don't think I'm using warped thinking or being paranoid.

CTEK are brilliant. FWIW, I think they are better than Maypole.
Mine revived a very very dead battery from my Octavia. It was slightly under 2V, so needed coaxing above that with a hairdryer. But once there, the CTEK charged and reconditioned it back to good health.
Mine was £90, but I have used it for many other batteries and it keeps a leisure battery topped up.

It has protection against incorrect polarity and has a reconditioning/ desulphating mode and if you want to keep the battery topped up, you can leave it connected without damage.

They are cheaper now:

DP have some composure please. The law of this country, whether you obey or disobey it, is borne of the Bible and the Christian religion, whether you are a believer or a non-believer. That is where our law comes from wily-nily (whether you like it or not). The point I was making is that, if you are not brought up as a Christian, or at least with Christian "values", the law will be like a foreign language to you and you will constantly be puzzled as to why you are not allowed to do this or that.

Christianity served us well for a thousand years, and you are living off its capital whilst wishing to destroy it.

If you are actually a Christian, you should be following the Christian commandments:

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
Matthew 22:36-40, KJV

if however you are not really Jewish, but like to pretend you follow (some) Jewish laws, then you might pin your hopes on selected parts of the Old Testament, for example not wearing clothes of mixed fibres, and you might say that the only reason you are a conscientious objector, and not a murderer, is because you have picked out "thou shalt not kill" as one of the bits that appeal to you.

However, the reason animals (including most humans) don't usually kill other members of their own species, is that they are genetrically programmed not to. The laws aren't what stops us. The laws reflect what is generally considered to be normal and acceptable behaviour which is inherent and natural to us. Konrad Lorenz wrote some interesting articles on this.

This behavour is normal, and was normal all over the world long before Christanity was invented.

So you are wrong.

Interesting you're allowed to quote fact about Christianity and it's not deleted and tagged as abuse.. Mods somewhat imbalanced view on here.

Who would you like to see enforcing the lock-down Secure? Nuns?

People with a brain would be a start.

After that, multi - shot tasers

Utter tosh..If you wish to believe in non existant gods etc..crack on..just leave me out..Church going is falling out of fashion....Science,tech,society ..etc all moving away from that superstitious ancient nonsense.

DP...sit down...deep breaths...everything is going to be alright. In your knee-jerk reaction you appear to have misunderstood what I said. Whether you (or I) believe (or don't believe) in God, Christianity etc, you are living in a country built by those who did believe it and acted upon it. They built a great country, probably the best there ever was or ever wil be. You and I (and all the clever scientists) are living off the capital built up by those people.

Deeply concerned? You are a drama queen. You are being asked not to do certain things in a park FFS, not eat your children and sell your wife.

Get a grip.

Quite so. You can insult Christianity as much as you like but mention that other religion and you're done for. Everyone is so conformist; there is no opposition, no dissenting voice. We end up with the same politicians speaking the same platitudes. Catherine Blaiklock says she would like to see a jihadist on the BBC Question Time panel, so that their beliefs are exposed to the masses.

 

[securespark]

What an odd response.

Eating your children and selling your wife (apart from being absurd) are against the law.

Now who's being a drama queen?

I'm talking about basic freedoms (even in lockdown) being taken away.

 

[JohnD]

oh, did you insult Christianity? What did you say?

 

[securespark]

It's not just about parks either. Being told you can only buy essentials and being fined for buying wine and crisps is completely bonkers.
If the shop is allowed to be open, you should be able to buy anything it sells.

I repeat, I'm not being a drama queen, we need to stop this insidious creeping towards a police state.
