👍 I've never suggested getting rid of LED

But it was obvious that the new tech was going to be used in old tech - it's amazing that new regs and testing did not allow for this. The problems should have been forseen. I really wish I had your optimism that we can always rely on the decision makers.

It's all very simple David, if rather boring. If somebody can blindly identify the differences they describe / feel / imagine, then who could argue with them? - certainly not me. Why do people dismiss the idea of blind testing, (as they always seem to) - if only to prove that they're not fooling...

I certainly used to have such expectations. But do you think that industry bodies / civil servants advised the Government on the LED headlights that have been allowed to be fitted to the latest cars? If so, how did they get it so wrong? Those same experts have been subsequently researching the...

Thank goodness for civil servants then - they must've been responsible for all of the recent u-turns on poorly (non) thought through policies 😉

I know the sort of things you mean 🤨 But whenever the announcer says "some viewers may find the following upsetting / disturbing"....I never do. Yet there is no warning before showing 2 males snogging -it's regarded as normal. I know that, by today's standards, I am old fashioned, but it makes...

Any 2-4mm squared pure copper cable should be good enough for @good_enough 😉

My mate moved from here in Essex to Watchet 20+ years ago. He retained his accent (so locals regard him as a gangster). But his son, even though born in Essex, definitely sounds like a cider drinker with some of his words.

In today's world yes. Any word, no matter how common and innocent it may once have been - if it offends one of the many people queueing up to be offended, then yes, it could be regarded as racist. (If today, my old Mum went out in the street and called her black cat in, by its name, she would...

And a Somerset accent would tell us it was you 😉

Plug-in solar panels sound like a good idea. But it's just another thing the UK government has not fully thought through. See this video from the people that have to think about things: View: https://youtu.be/uzCAUk0RYZc?si=2nXhSPu7FYltzrUg&t=50

But, be honest, would you bet money on there being any noticeable sound difference? ...if you couldn't SEE which one you were listening to.

Don't worry, they wouldn't get the joke - and there aren't any female readers. (There was someone called Daisy, but that turned out to be a bloke).

It's the scammers that are really thriving. The stories you hear about very persuasive scallywags, taking thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands off people. Don't be complacent is the advice, it can happen to anyone....never say never. (Actually, I say never quite a bit). All I can say for...

That's the sort of thing PM was good for - but the facility was discontinued for members - something to do with risk of breaching online safety act regulations. There were complaints and justifications at the time....bottom line - no PM facility. (Shame, as I've got stuff people might want too 😐).
