I think the issue with memory foam mattresses is that only the top is memory foam, under that is standard foam and likely it gave way. Memory foam in my own experience is warm but has zero bounce and zero support, the only thing it does is rise back into shape once the weight is off. It needs...

Money, it's down to money (or lack of). If they had the money they would close the junction and fix it, a couple of weeks disruption is nothing compared to years of work on work off.

A member of the State Duma (their parliament) said a couple of days ago that if the war with Ukraine is not ended soon the country will tip over the edge and will not be able to recover.

Clearly you didn't read my first post, France and Germany do not have the same weather related issues with potholes.

That's only partly true, the weather dictates when work can be done. e.g. start fixing them too early and a late frost ruins all your work. Roads are significantly busier than they were 20-30 years ago but there's only so much money to fix the roads and so problems get exaggerated. I can't speak...

In the UK our road surfaces suffer a lot from the winter freeze/thaw cycle which is where most of the pot holes start. Go South and the cycle is not so harsh, even further South and it's gone completely. Head towards Scandinavia and the freeze lasts all winter so no real cycle to cause the pot...

I have driven 9 hours (Highlands to Peterborough) non stop before but it's not something I'd like to do often (or again). I much prefer the more sedate EV experience :)

Nice trip!, it's what we always say, driving EV needs a different mindset but it doesn't impact your journey times that much (for most people).

Yeah, you have to go through a couple of hoops, google is helpful and probably youtube as well. https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=huawei+health+app+on+android+install&sourceid=opera&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

The Huawei Health app is not nearly that bad. just persistent, you get a reminder every few days to sign up for this or that. Not intrusive, just there. The G6 has a host of health and fitness options on it, sleep monitoring, blood pressure and hearbeat etc, even an ECG if you should want it...

I've had the Huawei GT6 for 4 months, it's still spotless and scratchless. It does all you could want it to and more. The app is decent though it does spam you a wee bit and you'll have to download it from Huawei since google doesn't like them. /edit, I bought the Xiaomi S4 watch first and was...

Oh that's a shame, he was a really decent guy and a strong contributor on the forum. He'd not been around for a long time and I was wondering what had happened to him (

Beastie arrived a week or so back and I'm really enjoying riding it. I'm actually turning the electronic 'aid' down to get more exercise.

Just to add I've heard the same about Jackery stuff, overpriced and underspecced. Here's the updated version of the one I got, even cheaper. https://www.amazon.co.uk/EF-ECOFLOW-DELTA-Classic-Generator/dp/B0GMCHYHQR
