Even main dealers can't be trusted, in my case with both of my Prius. With my first one 2006 reg I had a service contract but noticed they had overfilled the oil way above the top mark of the dipstick. Rather than go back I used a suction tube to draw it up the dipstick tube. A year later I...

What are averaging for mpg, I just looked at a review for your car and it says 'Officially, you can travel for up to three miles on electric power alone, at speeds of up to 70mph' is that correct or is it yet another example of misleading reviews? I can drive for e.g along a particular section...

When I ordered my Prius I chose the 15" wheels, I'm not interested in how prettier the car looks on 17" low profile tyres. It makes a lot of difference to the mpg, could be as much as 10mpg and also mine (2016) is still registered as 70g/km and was London congestion charge exempt but not now...

The overall mpg on my Prius is 67.2 over 18,000 miles. short trips, particularly in winter account for lower mpg. I can drive 12 miles to Stratford and it will show around 85mpg, coming back it will be about 73, once again it's the lie of the land. How does your Nissan keep you warm in...

But that's the point I'm making, people are not printing them out, my son is prime example, everything is on his phone from when the children were born to now aged 9 & 10 but there are no photo's in his house. We go to Tesco and use their instant print service.

Have any of you gone all electric or are driving a hybrid? I've been driving a Prius for over 10 years, a 2nd hand Gen 2 and now a Gen 4 I had from new. It's a lot more powerful than the Gen 2 and also far more economical. A 1.8 engine boosted by an electric motor coupled to a seamless sun &...

It's just not the same thing though is it, nothing can replace a traditional family photo and something on a memory stick doesn't lend itself to instant viewing. You can post a photo of your new born child to your ageing aunty but will she be able to plug it in a USB slot when she doesn't own...

This is a lost generation, nearly everyone has a mobile phone and takes photo's of their children etc but do they ever print them out? almost certainly the answer for the majority is going to be no. The photo's are put on their facebook page or whatever but it's not the same. Children will...

Compared to the photo further up it gives the impression that this one is much earlier as the other is covered in Ivy ? which has only just started to grow in several places

I remember all the impressionists such as Mike Yarwood used to do Magnus Pyke, when describing something he used to wave his arms all over the place, the best one was when he was describing something that was enormous such as the universe and he would swing is arms out like a windmill :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------- I came to the opposite conclusion a few years back, The Epson was prone to jet clogging unless you used the printer more or less on a daily basis. The printer failed after a few months & I contacted Epson support who said...

I remember when ATV filmed bits of Crossroads at the basin, one of the houses was where one of the characters supposedly lived, I remember his character name was Wilf, the actor used to live in an apartment on Bristol street, I was working in the same block and he used to toddle around hoping...

Microsoft & Intel have a partnership currently but already forums are producing ways to bypass processors not listed as compatible. In fact this could do a lot of harm to Microsoft and their attempts to force people to upgrade perfectly good computers solely to get people to install Win 11

Good idea oldMohawk, I'll try that as well On second thoughts i guess I won't, now we discover that millions of users of older AMD & Intel processors won't work with Win11 either, I checked mine, which is a 5 year old Intel i5 type and it's not supported on Microsofts list,

Update to my above post, I do have TPM and secure boot enabled but seemingly windows can't tell. I guess I have a TMP.1 chip and not .2 as is required Now I know why the Win 11 checker has been removed by Microsoft as it's telling thousands of people their computer can't run Win 11

I think I'll resist installing it for a while, Win 10 runs fine after I uninstalled as much of the junk it allowed me to do so. Microsoft PC health check to see if your PC can run Win 11 has now had the link removed as it gave incorrect information. A device on the motherboard called a TPM .2...

There are several different claimants as to the ownership of that well known photo of Mary Smith, most give the date as 1927. Rather strange is that all other photo's taken by John Topham are of a much higher clarity which makes me wonder why

Another website shows the above photo of her found amongst a number of others. The photo's are all of outdoor workers posing for the camera and was amongst a set of recently discovered images from 1926/27 believed to have been taken by Photographer Donald McLeish 100 years ago

If that photo was taken in the 1930's then I would suspect that it was staged to order and not a genuine photo of a chance meeting by the photographer. An Irish website shows the same photo plus one from the front and one with her hat on. Cheap alarm clocks were available everywhere from the...

The poor quality of the image convinces me it's earlier than the 1930's. Cheap cameras were available to everyone at that time, I have photo's of my parents as children in the 1920's in remarkable clarity compared to this image.
