Are you mad?!!!

Been in touch with the company.Seems it's the usual crap translation from the chinese.When they talk about focus it actually means resolution.

As a total amateur & non-arborist I have to say,go for it feller.I've tried different techniques that I "learnt" from watching youtube.This involved spending quite a lot of dosh on various pieces of equipment that I now don't use, either because I couldn't get the hang of or were just too tiring. Browse the climbing category on greedbay for auction rather than buy now & you could pick up loads of bargains. My present system is a Camp climbing harness - £11,Marlow 11mm black abseil rope £41 for 60 metres. A Petzl Stop for £23,a DMM hitch climber pulley for £23 and a Petzl Croll Ascender for £18. The hardest part for me is getting the rope into the tree.I bought a fishing reel from china for £2.40 but found the line too thin & replaced it with a thicker one for £2.50.A catapult which I can't find the receipt for but no more than a fiver.(I'm a tight bastard!)I made my own weights from leather filled with sand & glue. The reel is attached to a stick that I push into the ground,I then shoot the weight over a suitable branch,attach it to the rope & pull it back.

The instruction leaflet says: 6. Focusing function: Focus: video and photographs standby mode ,press the "key" and "down key" in focus,maximum magnification of 4 times; Not sure whether they've missed out the up in that first "key" and means press the up key and down key to focus in & out or whether there's another key you have to hold & press with the down key at the same time. I didn't really have time to try it out properly but I want to make sure it works as it should because it's a chrimbo present for my daughter.

I take it then that you haven't tried the focus buttons.I was hoping you'd tell me how to do it!:001_huh:The instructions don't make sense.

Well that's not fair,you're just moving the goalposts now.

I don't wait for her to go out,I do it in front of her!

Quite a few years ago travellers installed themselves on our local park.After about a week those living closest got fed up with the noise of the generators etc.They knocked the doors of as many residents as they could (including ours) & eventually amassed a crowd of about thirty.We spent the night keeping them awake as much as we could.Obviously the police were called but nothing was done.The following morning they left.They haven't returned since.

When I were a lad we 'ad to walk twenty mile,never had chance to mek a fire.All we 'ad to cut wi' was a blunt knife,'n' as fer brekka never et till we got 'ome 'n' 'ad our tea.When I got 'ome I'd take a lump o' ice out me breeks & melt it by t'fire.When it thawed aht it went pharrrrrp,god did it stink 'n' all.

I remember doing one of them as an apprentice engineer.First & worst job though was to hand file a 1" cube to a 63/64" cube.

The nope rope.

Apart from the one that had sampled the fly agaric.

Give Autohome a ring.0800 371 280 "From as little as £5.60 a month per vehicle, Autohome Assistance can provide a full breakdown & recovery package through our very own dedicated 24 hour Control Centre offering comprehensive national coverage for both roadside assistance and recovery." I had my campervan covered by them for a number of years & they were very efficient.

I'm not 100% sure of this,I'll have to do some research but,I think that (if it is an advisory bay,sometimes called a courtesy bay) then it's non enforcable & anyone can use it.Blue badge holder or not.So your elderly residents could park there. Is it just a painted marking on the road or is there an accompanying sign on a pole/wall?Can you post a google street view link?

That's also correct.

This is probably an advisory bay or if requiring a residents permit too,a dedicated bay. So,as has been said,if reported that he's not using it the council could revert it back to ordinary parking. That's correct.

Maybe he is,but if there are other disabled people that can use it then why should it be removed? We also don't know the full facts about why he uses the non disabled bay.Okay,it might well be that he does it as a wind up.It may also be that his property is further from the disabled bay than an ordinary one.The op's question was whether he was committing an offence,no he isn't.

Not if there are other disabled people that use it.

Is it an 'ordinary' disabled bay or one created specifically for him as a disabled resident?If the latter then it could be decommissioned by his non-use. If in the scenario above,it's the former,then why should they remove it just because one person doesn't use it?

Short answer:no. Long answer:no.

It did.

These the ones?

Something like this do? Ah.Just noticed they both plug into the one set.No good then!

One way...

Same thing,surely?
