In my version of W10 the "administrative tools, computer management... " folders are not in control panel.

I did not really want to move my BT hub, but a judicious re alignment has now improved the signal in the offending rooms from weak to medium strength.

So, for the time being I think that will be good enough.

I was reading an article about fires in waste recycling plants caused by disposed Li batteries that people incorrectly put in general waste.

The article then goes on to discuss safety on EVs, particularly when accidents occur.

I took a trip over to Colins yesterday to pass them to him, before we all get locked down again.

If you use BT, check when your contract is up for renewal. If its expired upgrade and you get one or more range extenders as part of the deal.

You are deffo on a roll Steve.

I'm still a very firm fan of the original Seekers.

I've found a UK company (Retropower) that does high quality work on restomodding cars, plus race and rally preparation. They got an enquiry from Gordon Murray CBE (famous automotive designer) to build him a road car based on a Mk1 Escort, with much modding but to retain the standard look of a twin c...

My first sports car was a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger, 260 cu in (4261cc) Ford v8 and BW 4 speed manual. Mine was white, had Minilite wheels (eventually) and had the optional detachable hardtop as well as the fold down hood. Quite rare these days.

Cor, I've driven one. Basically you are almost lying down - silly really. Huge acceleration of maybe it was just because I was so close to the road. Reminds me of a story. One very foggy day, a traffic policeman was horrified when he heard a sports car drive by at a speed (he thought) in excess of ...
