(16 Dec 2017, 3:28 pm)northern156 Pathetic driving witnessed today.
Following a 57-reg Seat Altea along the A695 west from Prudhoe to Hexham doing 40mph the whole way. They got into the 30mph zone at Hexham yet still continued doing 40mph...!

Just outside Tesco at Hexham around 15 mins ago a BMW M3 had it's offside indicator on; y9 anyone else with a brain this would say they're going into Tesco. They even used lane 2 in the roundabout yet carried straight on, with a Ford Mondeo almost ploughing straight into the side!

How these people get licenses is beyond me. If I had my way, everyone should have to take a refresher test every 2-5 years.

That roundabout has caught me out once before, although I’m not familiar with Hexham to be honest. Can you go straight on in the right hand lane there or is it Tesco only?

It's Tesco only. If you went straight on you'd be going the wrong way up a one-way road (Hallstile Bank). The left-hand land is intended for traffic to turn right into Haugh Lane. However, if you're not familiar to Hexham, I can see why it may catch some people out.

Lost the USB lead for my phone which also acts as my charger for my phone whilst I was out yesterday. As it turned out, finding a replacement lead/charger in Middlesbrough was not as easy as I hoped, I failed! as such I'm currently phone-less. My phone has a weird port and it seems like it will only take a specialist charger, to make matters worse, I have forgotten the exact model of phone which i own, all I know is it is a Sony Xperia but unsure which, so I am unsure on the exact one I need, hoped to see if Maplin knew but sadly social anxiety messed with that plan Angry

Most Sony Xperia phones have a Micro USB port (my Z5 compact does) and cables can be found in places like Poundland, Wilko or Boyes which is where I got my last cable from.

Mine isn't, if it was there would be no problem as I have loads of them leads knocking around. Think it's a Type C cable but it's proved difficult finding one in person (especially as I am useless with this sort of thing), Poundland can naff off with their one billion different iPhone cables which all do the same thing, yeah I can't get a lead but it's nice to know iPhone users can pick which colour they want their lead in Dodgy

I accidentally ordered some from Amazon a few weeks ago. Thankfully they were a free extra with some magnetic cables I'd bought for bigun.

I'd offer them to you but, like everything else, they're still in a random box somewhere.

Eventually managed to acquire the lead I required in Wilko at the Arnison Centre today, although it isn't the best fit, so I can only charge it laid flat. I didn't really enjoy my ride on 6319 but it's USB ports came in handy Big Grin

I actually walked to the Arnison centre, today. 25 minutes door to door at a cautious pace (only slipped once!)

Wilko came in handy at the weekend when we needed an ADSL cable for the second hand modem that openreach gave us after plusnet proved useless.

I bought a floor mop in wilko, today. Much engrained grot to be tackled, still.

I had similar issues, I went to York today to catch the Enviro200 MMC demonstrator on trial at Reliance, think I left it a bit too late as I didn't see at any point in the day, probably due to go back to ADL.

Wasn't the best day to be honest, started off with a 15-20 minute delay to my train to Darlington thanks to scumbags stealing either copper or cables on the Bishop Line between Bishop Auckland and Shildon, just pleased we were allowed into Darlington Rail Station before the CrossCountry service I was intending on catching, meaning I had to do the fastest ticket collection ever. The rest of the day didn't really have many other issues but I wished that I used my time a bit better.

Probably decided to wait until now to crop up as I won't be on a bus until at least the 27th or it's because I was in Sunderland last night for the first time in ages, weren't fun walking through the city centre shivering and clattering my teeth like those novelty wind up teeth.

At least the headache has eased off now, wasn't fun trying to sleep last night, bad enough trying to sleep without a headache feeling like you are on a boat on the rough seas.
