The repartee and razor sharp wit of today's youth.
2 early teens, came cycling towards me, totally on the wrong side of the (local) road, swerving back and forth and laughing as they did so.
I had no optionbut to run them overbut to slow to a stop, leaning out the widow of the van, as they drew level, I asked,
where are the other 5?
WTF are you on about they said.
Well I said, here we have Dopey and twatty, I just wondered where the other Dwarves were.
Sharp as a razor, without missing a beat the bigger one of the two said ...
f*** off
Oh FFS!Who was the lucky widow of the van?
Will be sending the rain southwards over the next few days
You bastards. You just couldn't keep it for yourselves could you.I'll join you in that - let us share it with the South - we've seen enough
Not here it wasn't, about 15 mins ago
OK own up, who else has stood by their front door pressing the car remote and wondering why the front door didn't unlock ?
If that was a thing, would all the house lights flash when you lock the door?OK own up, who else has stood by their front door pressing the car remote and wondering why the front door didn't unlock ?
Not me, the only time the remote comes out of my pocket is when changing jeans.OK own up, who else has stood by their front door pressing the car remote and wondering why the front door didn't unlock ?

I think there is a lot of fibbing going on in this thread tbhJust you, weirdo.

You could always stick the remote where the sun don't shine.Those F(l)ord things are no good to me, I never wear jeans..
Hmm 2 votes, must be true thenCause you're a weirdo!
Yep that's just about all those proximity remote's are good forYou could always stick the remote where the sun don't shine.
They are brilliant. No fumbling around for keys, just pull on door handle and it unlocks. Touch the sensor on the handle and it locks again. Push button start too. Keys and push button remotes are outdated.Yep that's just about all those proximity remote's are good for
The problem that I have with that, you are standing near your car, say chatting to someone, ( possibly a diversion tactic) and some smart arse jumps in it, and starts it and drives off..No fumbling around for keys, just pull on door handle and it unlocks....Push button start too...
Fairly sure the remote has to be inside the car to be able to start it. The car certainly knows if I have got out whilst the engine is running and that's not just opening the door neither. I am aware of the recent thefts where thieves have extended the range whilst the remote is in someone's house, but even before I have unlocked my car other people have been unable to get in even though I am standing right next to the car.The problem that I have with that, you are standing near your car, say chatting to someone, ( possibly a diversion tactic) and some smart arse jumps in it, and starts it and drives off..
Now, will the car stop once out of range? ( serious question)
Strange that, my boss has this "technology" on his Discovery, (the proper one) he was in close proximity and I opened the door,but even before I have unlocked my car other people have been unable to get in even though I am standing right next to the car.
Ah yes I remember the days when a "crooklock" was mandatory on Fords.I always put a hefty security lock through the steering wheel
Pretty much the only way to stop or slow down thieves of any make of car now. Each time manufacturers improve the security of their cars, the thieves manage to get technology to by pass it. Short of an angle grinder, a steering lock or DISKLOK is the only deterrant. I read of a bloke this morning with a new Focus RS, he went to a music festival the other weekend, and put his disklok on the steering wheel. When he returned to the 2 days later , the drivers door was open and thieves had nicked his front seats. The disklok was still intact on the steering wheel.Ah yes I remember the days when a "crooklock" was mandatory on Fords.
Seems like a retro step to me

I noticed last week Tesco are selling smoke detectors certified as "Toast Proof"My toaster has started to overdo the toast and set off the smoke detector
Are they George Foreman grill proof too? We could do with some at work. My workmate was cooking some chicken breasts for lunch, the small amount of smoke set off the smoke detectors in our console room, the PC's shutdown automatically and he caused an evacuation of the entire site. Needless to say management weren't happy and confiscated his grill,I noticed last week Tesco are selling smoke detectors certified as "Toast Proof"
I bet they wouldn't have had that actually been George ForemanNeedless to say management weren't happy and confiscated his grill,
