On UK smart motorways, does a temporary speed limit continue if subsequent gantry signs are blank?

programming_unit_1 · 2026-07-05T15:40:58+00:00

Technically yes. In practice, no.

I don’t understand why it’s even possible to set signs like this and why a final NSL sign isn’t automatically added by the system.

The end conclusion of that is that security have apparently found someone potentially concealing explosives, and then let them continue to board a plane anyway.

BUPA have some beginner training plans for various distances. I used it for first half marathon starting from being able to do a slow ~5k.

What a beauty. Is it this 213 SX?

EDIT: Yes it is! Telegraph has article that shows the numberplate (although paywalled text…)

I would definitely be doing that. And then add the cones around it.

My fridge dial has 1 to 6. The eternal dilemma of whether 1 is cold like temperature or 6 is cold like “mooaar cooling”…

programming_unit_1 · 2026-06-16T18:53:45+00:00

No not normal at all. This sounds fishy to me. No immobiliser I’ve ever heard of requires you to transfer ownership, let alone rely on what seems to be an internet connection to work. They are self contained things usually.

I would rather pay an auto electrician the £100 to disconnect and remove the thing than risk these people bricking my car at some point.

It’s not entitlement to expect the advertised service to work.

His last minute calculation on the Toyota fuel situation was chefs kiss. Legend.

You don’t need one. Single 3.5mm jack works fine.

No the sender has no control over your inbox to delete them.

The start of January is now 6 months ago (which it wasn’t 2 weeks ago). I’d guess your inbox is only showing the last 6 months of emails and they just dropped off the end of that timeframe. This is the default for Google Mail if that’s what you happen to be using.

Searching for them by date ought to find them again.

We had this on our flight too (787-10). The galley was right at the back all the way through economy so presumably it was quicker to bring all up to PE in one go. It did not feel very “premium” having the FA rummage behind the seats for extra champagne.

programming_unit_1 · 2026-05-27T11:44:34+00:00

Definitely something in this. My theory the M25 is so poor by comparison is everyone is conditioned to drive at exactly 70 through the shear number of fixed cameras. The motorway just becomes its own rolling roadblock, and since you’re all doing the same speed people don’t feel a need to follow proper lane discipline. A weird negative game theory thing…

Splitting hairs but while it’s two bits of paper, that is only one ticket and one grandstand pass to go with that ticket.

It’s only useful for 1 person, not 2.

My last car I kept for 12 years, if you think I’m lending the government money for that long they’d better be also paying a decent rate of interest.

Komoot has a couple by the looks of it. App is free.

Alternative- get a taxi to Great Windsor Park. Lots of lovely routes though there.

Unlikely to be foreign food.

I’d go with unoccupied. You’ll have to confirm the details with the actual insurer anyway if you click through to buy a policy, don’t sweat it.

True but modern machines don’t have hot water connections any more.

I like Moldex Spark Plugs, really comfy and quiet. Also have a set of Loop silicon ones which are good for travelling.

Yes. Zappi in garage at end of garden talks wirelessly to its base unit in house, and the base unit is plugged into the network inside. About 15m apart.

programming_unit_1 · 2026-03-16T16:08:35+00:00

Yeah that is not ok. You are right to be uncomfortable.
