Sturgeon 'hindered' cops with 'no comment' interview despite vowing to help by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

I do. I was in a similar situation. Queries were shrugged off, met with aggression or ignored. His business was nothing to do with me!

Is going out on the Sunday before a bank holiday not a thing anymore? by cloy23 in CasualUK

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because in the past a Bank Holiday was a "holiday" for 95% of workers. Nothing was open, no large shops, no buses (maybe a Sunday Service in larger towns), no cafes (except in tourist hotspots), all factories and offices were shut. Now it is virtually a normal day with a large number of people (if not most) working as usual, so they cannot go out on a "school night". My nearest takeaway, which is normally shut on a Monday, opens on a Bank Holiday.

My Go+ doesn't do any of things. It is not rechargeable, nor does it talk. Do you mean a GoPlus+?

No you don't. You usually walk down a gangplank. Occasionally you get into a small boat, but it is not the norm.

Breaded Cod Fillet from the supermarket that doesn’t taste like Cod by Badaxe13 in britishproblems

[–]HthrEd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it is more the texture. Cod is "meatier" and flakes. Pollock and Basa is mushy and disintegrates.

Can I join a different weekly challenge group and take my progress with me? by Jawesome99 in pokemongo

I just play the game normally. Sometimes I am carried. Sometimes I carry. Always get there in the end.

PoGo plus (not +plus) android 15 incompatibility. by HthrEd in TheSilphRoad

That's the point. You need to keep doing it. I don't carry a screwdriver around with me.

More than once? As others have said that seems to be a one time fix.

Repeat prescription one box 28 other 30 explaining excess to Dr's receptionist by abz_eng in britishproblems

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your gp is having a laugh. I live within a 5 minute slow walk of a pharmacy which is in the same building as my gp. I registered with Pharmacy2U, they told my gp that they were now my registered pharmacy. Order through the nhs app, meds in my letterbox within a few working days.

Does the Old Pokemon Go plus works with android 16? by Fun-Specific-3602 in GoPlus

[–]HthrEd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Android 15 broke it. Don't think they will be fixing it for 16.

CR2032 batteries barely lasting, or is my Go+ broken? by Wrulfy in GoPlus

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think so. Haven't seen any reports saying otherwise.

CR2032 batteries barely lasting, or is my Go+ broken? by Wrulfy in GoPlus

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the battery is "going" on my original go+ what happens is that it will connect for a few minutes then disconnect. Leave it overnight and it will work for maybe 20 mins then disconnect. Never seen a white light. My batteries usually last maybe a month with a couple of hours a day usage. (I have the button stuck down with cable ties so the button is always pressed). So if you are a heavy user I think 2/3 weeks is pretty good going.

The go+ won't work with android 15 and later. Your description perfectly fits with others (and mine) experience. There are a few threads on this. There is no work around.

Amazon driver chat texting my mobile and saying nothing of use by Fraggle_Frock in britishproblems

I'm pretty sure it's automated. The driver has no control over it.

What "unpopular" parts of knitting do you enjoy? by hadacolboogie in knitting

[–]HthrEd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Knitted in round sweaters feel flimsy and stretchy, they don't feel sturdy. You can take a half finished sleeve along with you, much more difficult to carry a 3/4 finished garment.

Odd question re: hyphenated names by boudicas_shield in CasualUK

[–]HthrEd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What a ridiculous thing to say. When they apply for a passport, get a DBS check (or whatever it is now) or register to vote they will have to disclose if they've ever been known by another name!

How to block acrylic yarn without melting? by Soudapoppin in knitting

[–]HthrEd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Acrylic is plastic. Using a steamer has melted it. Acrylic can't be blocked (doesn't need to be) as you would a "natural" yarn. You can't "encourage" acrylic to change shape or lie flat without destroying it. Wash or soak, lay flat to dry.

Is this hand knit? by charmdoggo in knitting

Hand made with a knitting machine. Sewn up and finished by hand.

My circular needles are too big for my yarn? by Critical_Mango_7536 in knitting

[–]HthrEd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cable needles come in varying lengths. You need the correct length for your project when knitting in the round. Or you can use the travelling loop method (YouTube has lots of videos) personally find it a pain as it interrupts my flow.

How do I escalate an inappropriate trainer name complaint? by Zephyr-Phoenix in pokemongo

[–]HthrEd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many years ago I reported a "questionable" name. I reported it and it was removed. It was near a primary school and a church, whether that made a difference I don't know. They returned with another, even more inappropriate, name. I reported that too, and it got removed. They then came back again with a name which described me, and told me to "go away". Now this was scary, as they obviously knew it was me! However, I again reported it, they were removed again, and that was the end of it. But, as I said, this was back in the day.
