Middle daughter when visiting earlier, recounted a problem she encountered last night whilst ordering an item from a website she hadn’t used before. On entering her christian name, she was confronted with the message ‘please enter a valid name’. Reason? The fada over the a in her name, (á) couldn’t be recognised. Has anyone experienced anything similar e.g. a hyphenated name or an apostrophe in their name? I think it’s ludicrous.

Engineer. Took advantage of redundancy package. Never looked back. I relish repairing mechanical/electrical items others might throw out deeming them irreparable. Keeping fit by running most days with my better half and walking our border collie.

People who use gas for cooking/heating may be interested to learn of the Government’s plan to allow ‘lean gas’ to be added to the U.K. distribution network. It has recently been ratified by The Health & Safety Executive. The change will mean that the CV [calorific value], will be dramatically decreased. The plan is due to commence in 2025. Will it affect consumers? It depends on how much ‘lean gas’ will be added to the grid whether it will affect the combustion quality of the reduced CV gas as the Wobbe index will be greatly affected too. Suppliers should also take into account the reduced CV when calculating consumers’ bills, as the lower the CV the lower the price of gas per kW/hr when calculating bills. Watch this space! -

Sat and passed the last four of his written examinations over yesterday and today on his way to gain his CAA light aircraft pilot’s licence. He attended a workshop to do two days intensive training to speed up the lengthy training process. He has 20 hours of flying training under his belt two of which were solo. It only needs his pilot instructor at the flying school in North Weald to put his signature to his competency on the appropriate paperwork and he will be granted his CAA licence. -

Only found out last night that son in law became a bit of a hero last Thursday. Following a vehicle around Roneo Corner from Rom Valley Way, the said car hit the central reservation kerb, slid along the metal railings and flipped onto its near side. Son in law stopped behind said vehicle and switched his hazards on and got out of his van and approached the car. The driver was ok but shaken and still strapped in. Son in law clambered up on to side of vehicle and proceeded to pull badly damaged door upwards to open it. He managed to open it and help the driver out of his vehicle. An off duty police woman in a car in front took control of the situation and called police. Son in law was thanked for his help and away he went. I found this report. 👇👇👇👇 https://www.essexlive.news/news/essex-news/car-gets-stuck-sideways-a125-8236682 -
