Your front garden to get a 6 foot fence? I've never seen that before.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

That's shocking I thought it was your front garden. I had those pin like fences in the 1990 separating neighbours only. The back was a wall until someone got their gears mixed up and went straight through it the council didn't bother rebuilding a wall and put up a big closed fence.

On the basis of my complaint they have changed their policies regarding these issues to be looked at on a case by case basis instead of everyone gets a toothpick fence and I am getting a 6 foot fence installed
Nice one you can sunbathe naked now!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

Went to Regents Park Open Air Theatre yesterday, was really good, I'd been to the zoo with the kids years ago but I never had time to reminisce, I worked there when I was a teenager and loved it

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

Just had my first experience driving my car with Adaptive Cruise control, I didn't realise it was so good.

It's just a bummer even though I have the controls built into the car to actually use it I actually have to pay a subscription of £66.5 a year and for High Beam Assist £35.5 a year! This practice should be banned.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

Can you explain to an old duffer just what "high beam assist is"

If it's what I think it is, why the heck do you need it?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

turns itself to low beam when it detects oncoming traffic I guess. I am informed it is not very efficient

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

If a driver needs a computer to do that, they should be using the bus . . same with 'rain sensing wipers'

I'll find out next week on late shift but I try not to use it because of the suicidal bugs late at night.

The trouble with LED headlights is they're so bright you can't see another cars lights coming around a corner, I'll see if it helps next week but I may just not use the main beam so won't pay a subscription after this trial month.

Have to disagree - we’ve got rain-sensing wipers and auto-headlights settings on our car, and they make life simpler.

You’ll be complaining about syncromesh ("if you can’t double-declutch, what sort of driver are you?"), and not having to use hand-signals next…

He's only just got used to those new fangled indicators, what was wrong with trafficators after all
