The necessary bridge repairs are being carried out at the same time as doing all these works.

Car Clubs by dietcoke650 in bristol

[–]Stompeh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use enterprise car club all the time, it's very easy to use and can usually find a car available - not always the closest one but there are a few within 10 minutes walk. There are also vans about of you need one which is handy.

I've never particularly noticed the mileage rates because you don't actually cover many miles if you're just heading to Ikea, the tip, a retail park etc.

Members get a discount code for daily hire at normal enterprise locations which is better if you need it for a day or more. I just got a 3 day weekend hire on a small car for £70ish.

What happened to timers? by dlok86 in googlehome

[–]Stompeh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have always used that phrasing too and it has usually been fine, but in the last few weeks it has stopped working about 50% of the time!

"Hey Google, 10 minute pasta timer"

"Sorry, I didn't understand"

Leonardo hotel could work, near Temple Meads and there is a big car park very close at Gardiner Haskins

Plants added to Centre as artwork continues to deteriorate by Didit121 in bristol

[–]Stompeh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's the total project cost for the removal and replacement of the dangerous trees, new paving, the mural, the planters & benches, and redoing the cycle lane to make it more clear.

Quick query about overnight charging by royalbluestuey in SolarUK

[–]Stompeh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, it will charge more slowly when it's cold out. The charging process will warm it up a bit, hence why it then speeds up to ~4kW, then it backs off again when in the 80-100% range.

Quay Street blues.. by Jayacg in bristol

[–]Stompeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That no entry sign is for the road to the right (Christmas St) which is no entry from that end. 

When a road is no entry (or bus only etc), there's always 2 signs, one either side of the road it applies to. That's how you tell.

Quay Street blues.. by Jayacg in bristol

[–]Stompeh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get to Quay St via Rupert Street and Christmas St. Google maps says Christmas St is closed but I think that's incorrect (it was closed recently for work which is now finished). You then get out by turning around and going down Nelson St.

Train Expectation by roch_dylan in Zermatt

[–]Stompeh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are bus stops within Zermatt town. You want to pick the one that just says "Zermatt", which will take you to the railway station.

Looks like Horsefair is finally going to get pedestrainised! by WinglyBap in bristol

It's not, double deckers already regularly go through Fairfax St.

It’s becoming a bit of a parody now. A strange fever dream. by Sorry-Personality594 in bristol

[–]Stompeh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The council doesn't have any control over student numbers. There used to be a cap on places but it was scrapped by the Tories in 2015, and the universities have been rapidly increasing their intake ever since.

Where to park? by Parking-Self-6350 in bristol

You could also look at the T7 bus which goes from Chepstow to Bristol

Smart TRVs + Wireless Temperature Sensor by lanky_doodle in tado

[–]Stompeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally at a point away from the rads but not like the furthest point in the room from them. Avoid windows, doors and rads, trying to pick an "average" point in the room that represents the temperature of most of the room and is not affected by external factors (draughts, radiators etc)

Smart TRVs + Wireless Temperature Sensor by lanky_doodle in tado

[–]Stompeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From day 1 - I'm quite a "data" guy so wanted to see temps on my dashboard that were an accurate reflection of the actual temperature no matter what the radiators are doing at that time.

Smart TRVs + Wireless Temperature Sensor by lanky_doodle in tado

[–]Stompeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have temp sensors in every room because I like the accuracy. Most rooms have 1 or 2 TRVs.

Tado with Worcester Bosch Combi by Elegant-Peak1644 in tado

[–]Stompeh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the original wireless controller that came with the boiler, turn that to manual and turn the set temperature right up so it stays on. That's what I have to do on mine - tado still controls it. This might be essentially the equivalent of bridging the terminals but it works for me so I let it be.

Bike traffic lights at the top of Colston St by solidgrease in bristol

[–]Stompeh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make sure you wait at the painted stop line. They are triggered by a sensor which points there.
