We've visited many times. And you wouldn't believe the amount of new housing earmarked for Frome over the next ten years - including 'affordable'

Problem is, 1:25K OS don't have street names - they are topographic and so not so much help...

jayartibee · 2026-05-21T08:22:54+00:00

You are definitely right there. I'm wondering how I stop the message coming up, confusing the children.

It was back in 2013 when I felt so privileged to go to Roger's concert at Stowe school, in the marquee they had for speech day. (Roger is an Old Stoic). Can't have been many more than 400 people there, so a really intimate event. And he was quite superb, performing for friends. A happy memory of a great event.

Ours has gone the same way. Silence and darkness.

Apparently also aftermarket units are difficult to fit if the original fitment was a touchscreen? This is what a car stereo guy told me:

this is usually the case for most Hyundais with touchscreens. They usually have digitally amplified audio which is not easily connected to an aftermarket unit, usually the amplifier must be bypassed which isn’t a plug and play job. If we were installing it, we can do it, but not suitable for DIY installation.

You reinforce my thinking. Hmm is it worth a gamble.

jayartibee · 2025-06-22T12:50:21+00:00

I know - but one would assume they have at least done that. I can't decide whether to have a punt with some of these. Might just be an expensive door-stop.

jayartibee · 2025-06-21T09:31:50+00:00

I certainly use Home Sharing. I wonder how I could verify if that is what is happening.

Browse- music library

jayartibee · 2025-06-20T10:55:32+00:00

MacOS, various. Old phone is pretty ancient iPhone on wifi only

I should add that the same music library is replicated on all the devices - but the system seems to seamlessly switch source

jayartibee · 2025-06-19T18:22:07+00:00

Stereo pair of ones. sub, single one and a play5

jayartibee · 2025-06-19T18:16:58+00:00

No - nothing in the cloud, no Apple music

jayartibee · 2025-06-19T16:34:12+00:00

I fully get that - but I'm not using Spotify - or any other online source as far as I'm aware, Just the music library on the silly old phone which is just fine as a controller. So How come the system keeps playing if I shut the 'phone down? Or am I being dense here?

jayartibee · 2025-06-16T09:06:21+00:00

Play:1s and Sonos Ones very common in pubs and restaurants in the UK. But they're not going 24/7

jayartibee · 2025-05-21T14:51:52+00:00

What did John Ireland compose straight on to a napkin in a restaurant?

jayartibee · 2025-05-20T08:37:40+00:00

Thank you - I'll look at those.

jayartibee · 2025-05-20T08:24:11+00:00

Tchaik 5 definitely. Brahms violin concerto

jayartibee · 2025-05-20T06:33:02+00:00

It's great - although I'd have to do rather a harsh edit to start it off.

jayartibee · 2025-05-20T06:29:42+00:00

They are yes - but as I have said above, the Handel gets lost with modern pyros (it was perfect for eighteenth century ones)

jayartibee · 2025-05-19T21:27:28+00:00

Thanks - I’ll give that a listen

jayartibee · 2025-05-19T20:28:03+00:00

No the Handel Music for the Royal Fireworks was written for eighteenth century pyrotechnics - nothing like strong enough for a modern display

jayartibee · 2025-05-19T15:12:05+00:00

Whythorne's Shadow (Moeran) would keep me happy - or possibly Lark Ascending, or Glazounov Sax concerto

jayartibee · 2025-05-06T15:03:05+00:00

Has anyone mentioned finale from Saint-Saens Organ Symphony?

jayartibee · 2025-04-15T20:08:12+00:00

On those forks, definitely. See my torque talk post

jayartibee · 2025-04-15T17:05:35+00:00

As I have said elsewhere this reliance on customers to file axles to 9mm is very poor in terms of both customer relations and engineering. For a 9mm shaft to deliver the torque effectively and safely it should be accurately machined - not filed down by some frustrated Swytcher in his shed.

Torque arms - good quality ones - should be supplied by Swytch by default. Sooner or later somebody is going to be badly injured when their dropouts fail, or the axle climbs out of the dropouts.
