I have to say, Rain-x isn’t what it used to be.

I’ve been using a bottle of Rain-x that I bought back in my motor-racing days - a long time ago. It finally ran out last year and I bought a replacement from Helfrauds. It’s nowhere near as good as it used to be.

I previously used it on my door mirrors and also on the lenses o CCTV cameras. Rain no longer runs off treated surfac...

Have to fess, the Sprout is back in it's Carcoon, too dark, too small in a world of crap drivers in wannabe 4x4's

Yep I agree David. Everything's so 'smart' these days, except us, for making it 'smart'.

"They tend to go for longer special operations." 🤣🤣. So true Guy.

Maybe Rayner's not so dumb. Might as well stock up on the vino so as not to notice the predicament we'll be in. Lol.

So get prepping. Streeting says it's hitting the fan in a 1000 days.

And Bill Gate's l...

NHS test at any optician, free.

Then 6 quid, select specs. 🙂

French fridge hack, this was earlier in the month https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_French_supermarket_refrigerator_hack .

Talking of strong winds and heavy rain does anyone know of a good product for getting traffic film off windscreens? Anything better than RainX?
And,
Given the eternal poor functioning of Spridgety windscreen wipers generally available, any good solutions for wiper blades that actually sit on the glass and work?

I think the highest risk scenario relates to logistics of keeping the half dozen supermarket chains operating that we all rely on for virtually all our food. Within a couple of days, aided by the public panic buying, much of what is needed wouldn't be on the shelves. It only takes a hack on the software that tells the few very centralised depots what products to load onto which of thousands of wag...

Paul, you can use the old resistive flasher with LED lights by simply putting a ballast resister to ground in the system. This allows the circuit to draw enough current to activate the resistive flasher unit. You can even use a variable resister so that you can control, at least to some extent, the flash rate. You do lose the benefit of less current draw for the system but you gain the advantage...

They're ten quid for a reason...

There is an advert on Youtube for wonder glasses for about £10 which claims you never need to be ripped off by opticians again. Check the posts and a few subscribers have tested them and they are useless plastic rip offs.I have just spent £100 at an independent optician, each of my eyes needs a different prescription and my new glasses are superb. Go to uour local optician - you know it makes se...
