Dunelm is worth a visit.

Not sure what duvet covers you are talking about, but all of ours have an opening to within , say, 100-150mm from the corner, and buttons spaced every 150-200mm across the opening. I have on occasions seen those with an opening right to the corner, and the problem there is that the corner of the...

Not quite 80 but wonder how people actuall do put covers on duvets. I usually turn the cover inside out, grab two corners from the inside, pick up the duvet and cover and shake/pull it over the whole duvet. Far easier than trying to tuck the whole duvet into the open end of the case.

I rarely have the time or inclination, but really every person who receives unsolicited calls from an organisation that you haven't had dealings with should interrrogate their source of your number. If they can't give a satisfactory* answer, then caution them that they are breaching the Data...

There's no politics in my statement, just speaking from personal experience. However, those who don't practice caution on something as safety critical as drivers' behaviour don't seem to ooze consideration for others nor even basic intelligence.

The A5183 (part of original A5 route) has just been reduced to 50mph or less between St Albans and Redbourn, - about time, high speed and irresponsible overtaking there has resulted in quite a few KSI incidents over the last few years.

If the current campaigning for a near blanket maximum limit of 50mph on single carriageway roads in the UK ever becomes law, a 50mph for HGVs would reduce a genuine need for overtaking.

In my experience, those who persistently spout that their qualities are superior to other (unnamed) persons are amongst the least responsible in society.

I still don't understand what the 'stampless' reference is and why it being threatened is an issue for you (or anyone).

Why would the new entry-exit system have "threatened my [your] Iceland trip with being stampless"?

The crossings in Hong Kong had well designed audible cues as to their state. When set for traffic to pass the had a tick about every second. When the pedestrian crossing period was set there was a continuous fast clicking sound. Most effective though was the period from the end of pedestrian...

Well if those at the front haven't started moving, it's almost certain that they still show red. The traffic not stopping is also a clue that it isn't good to cross yet.

Yes we could, but there would be no value in a marginal increase in route capacity which would prevent level boarding and requir modification to all station platforms along the line Average passenger journey times would also increase by a small amount.

Maybe but given the political pressure on opening for the passengers for whom it was built, any unnecessary distractions that did affect completion would just make it worse. Just imagine the headlines: Elizabeth Line delayed further to complete passenger mobile phone/wi-fi installation! I dread...

Maybe not a achronistic as might be imagined, it's still available (at a price) in some supermarkets: see here (link to two Waitrose B&B Pudding products.)
