Took my brood to Gambados the other day and we queued up to try the newish climbing wall. We were second in the queue and watched as the Gambados chap attempted to tie the harness security knot on the child whose turn it was. It soon became obvious he couldn't tie it securely. He kept trying to tie it then changing his mind and pulling it apart and starting again. He continued to try for several moments, undoing and retrying and you could see he was reciting the instructions to himself as to how to do it but just getting it wrong each time.

I told my kids I wasn't happy that he knew what he was doing and we left the queue.

In fairness to him, he eventually decided to give up and didn't let the first child go on it and closed the wall.

If you go, be extremely cautious and watch to see how competent the staff are before letting your child near this.

  This reads like an article in Gardeners World where Percy Chucker is discussing how he grew his SUV so big just using diesel based fertiliser and regular waywrimg 🤣 But point well made, they are getting bigger which is partly down to safety features that older cars didn't have but also marketing as adverts seen to push SUVs into the public eye.
- Recommendation for Phil – FourPawsDoors – Cat Flap Fitter

  I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!! His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it. http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010

  Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geofenced speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
