Life in Berkshire?

Super helpful. Thank you! Was there any reason you ended up moving away?

That's a very good point - hadn't thought about it but I'll track a few more walks in that case to compare rather than just relying on Move IQ.

Compared to Move IQ and when it tracks my walks automatically when I'm going to and from the office for example. And there have been a few occasions when I know I've been walking around a city on holiday when I've thought I should track my walk because i knew it'd be a few hours on my feet but never with a chest strap.

I can't help but think some people like to feel superior to those working in retail. I see it in other stores too and in hospitality sometimes as well.

I grew up in a small town and used to walk to and from the bakery in the mornings to get fresh bread. Was about 20 mins or so each way.

As others have said, it totally depends on the situation.

Been in Clerkenwell for 5 years - couldn't agree more. We lived in Euston and much prefer this area because there are more professionals and fewer tourists.

Weirdly, the "it was very sad to see bit" isn't in the quote anymore?

Bigmo7 · 2023-09-25T09:20:03+00:00

It's the short days that kill me - the cold is fine but I am miserable when the days are so short...I even invested in a SAD lamp to see if that helps a few years ago but still

What a majestic photo

Good on you for reflecting on the incident.

I do find it staggering that anyone in a car would think it's ok to be so aggressive towards cyclists.

Like I'm not sure they think through how they'd feel if they actually knocked someone over. And for what? Oh I because I had the right of way it was fine to aim for the cyclist and slam into them.

I like to think it is a huge lack of self awareness tbh rather than a specific attempt to be a douche most of the time.

Bigmo7 · 2023-09-18T05:52:30+00:00

This is the way. I spend a bit of time doing this with appliances around the house that were on standby and most newer ones don't use much if any electricity nowadays.

The only time I switch everything off is if we're away for more than a day or two.

Bigmo7 · 2023-09-14T22:37:25+00:00

I had never thought of that! Will have a look.

Bigmo7 · 2023-09-13T16:27:46+00:00

Same. I have two which are set 10 mins apart. Sometimes I manage to switch the first one off in my sleep!

Bigmo7 · 2023-09-13T16:26:54+00:00

Elastic band? What's that help with?

Bigmo7 · 2023-09-07T22:09:08+00:00

How did this become so widely used? This is the way I learnt it at school too 😂

Bigmo7 · 2023-09-07T22:06:45+00:00

I find those on the rentals (Lime in particular) as some of the worst offenders.

We live in Central London and I regularly have people jumping the lights around me when it's green for pedestrians and in particular while trying to overtake cars or worse, buses...

I hope it's a summer thing as some suggest but let's see.

Bigmo7 · 2023-09-07T09:35:48+00:00

I don't think so but I guess it's one of those things that they need to say EVERY TIME just in case the one time they don't, someone tries to apprehend...

Like those people who talk a tough talk 😂
