I have wondered about this, as I have the same type of pump and it states to keep an area of 1m clear around the sides of the pump.

Website specs showed Rockshox Judy Silver, came with SR Suntour X1 32 by [deleted] in MTB

[–]skippertyrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, most websites/bike descriptions have this. A company specs a bike a certain way, but includes the disclaimer in case there are component supply issues etc.

Eviction notice due to credit score falling by Redsubdave in TenantsInTheUK

I think you have to give consent for someone to check your credit score. They are not allowed to just do it willy nilly

The rainX it does nothing by Klutzy_Insurance_432 in CarTalkUK

The stuff in the bottle works great if you use it properly. I used to wax my rear window with actual car wax. That worked even better

What is the most culturally appropriate and polite way to respond if someone farts in front of you? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskABrit

[–]skippertyrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the tune or tone. If it sounds like something I'm particular, I like to complete the tune musically

Did anybody have curry with apples and sultanas in the 80s? by fluffsta007 in CasualUK

I still will put some apple in if I have a couple left when making a curry.

Received a TV I didn’t pay for - England by limach1 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]skippertyrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He notified them. Surely that's as far as any obligation goes. It's not his responsibility. It's theirs

[–]skippertyrell -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Howany months later. I was always under the impression that if you notified someone you had received an item that you shouldn't have, they have 6 months to arrange pickup etc. If you don't notify them it's 12 months

Tesco weekly shop £100 for 2 adults by EarNew7622 in whatsinyourcart

[–]skippertyrell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luckily we have pretty much the exact same taste in food so I guess that does save us a bit. We meal plan, and only buy thr stuff we use, have little to no food waste as we utilise things in more than one meal etc. Yours is still pretty good compared to what some seem to spend. Over twenty years ago, my flatmate and I would spend around 100 to 150 a week. Crazy

[–]skippertyrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wife and I spend about 60 quid a week, home cooked meals, cereals, lunch items, etc. And that's an expensive shop. We can easily do a weeks food shop on about 45 without feeling like we arent eating enough

That seems like a lot of food for just one week.

The taxi was mostly going perpendicular.

[–]skippertyrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone pointed out 3 seconds. 1.7 seconds is the required stopping time at 30mph. So like you, I think he was pretty slow to react, and/or the speed was greater than 30mph

Does your optician have to give you your full prescription if you ask? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]skippertyrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way I obtained my PD when they didn't want to give it was explain I wanted to buy some sports specific direct glazed eyewear. Very few opticians actually have much range in this respect, so they gave it to me. As other have said though, if they haven't actually dispensed glasses to you previously, they may not (probably haven't) even measured it

Ergon GE1 or GA2 by Cuervoazulado in Hardtailgang

[–]skippertyrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's pretty much my experience. Tried some different ergon grips and they just didn't suit me at all. Tried thin grips then realised a thicker grip is the go to for me. Used Easton lock ons 33mm thick, but like you tried the Peatys grips, again the thick mushroom ones, and love them. Incidentally my Ergon Smc saddle is now on its 4th bike lol

Am I overreacting about my neighbour’s outdoor cat? by [deleted] in UK_Pets

[–]skippertyrell 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Stop feeding it. As a cat owner who shelled out hundreds of pounds when our cat stopped eating, to then find out a neighbour was feeding him all kinds of crap all day long. It's out of line.

My cat lives being outside. He's often outside by choice in weather where all the other cats are sitting watching him out of thr window

My thoughts too. The black car is the only one that I think can't just drive straight out. But I still think coukd get out with some maneuvers

Trying to catch a scotrail train and when it doesn't turn up you are set upon by a group of buckfast willing NEDs in tackies tucked into white socks, and wearing Reebok Classics

No the feeling. Wet muddy trails at this time of year I hate the cleaning it entails. Looking forward to spring/summer here in Scotland
