Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
There’s no way that a supermarket (for example) is going to accept a situation where anyone can sign themselves off. For most service jobs not producing a sick note for any absence longer than three days is a disciplinary offence. The law is generally pro-employee. You think the change is going to ...

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
I assume that you’re being facetious? Employers won’t accept self certification for a longer term or recurring illness. I'm not being facetious but I don't think you're seeing it the way I do. If a sick note is not obtainable, there is no way to certify sickness except self-cert. So employers are g...

Re: Petrol Honda mowers
Dinny, that field area doesn't really have much in the way of fiddly bits - I simply drive round the edge as close to the fence/ditch as I can (should have got a wider deck...) and then keep going round until I get to the centre. No real attempt at stripes; I just want to keep it short. The rear gar...

Re: Test drive report
I'm still keen on Nimbus Grey - it's quite similar to the Quartz Silver of my old S2 Elise which is a nice link. Would probably order Atlantis Blue if going for a brand new one to my spec.

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
It fits your point? I doubt your employment contract has anything in it about time off for pets. It was simply a decent thing to do. Nothing to do with Sunak's announcement or sick notes or rights. Ultimately Sunak's announcement benefits anyone with mental health issues now. They won't need to go t...

Re: Petrol Honda mowers
It is awesumes, but my use case has changed and it really doesn't fit it.

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
This plan is not well thought through. As ever. If doctors no longer issue sick notes, that will not change HR law. So employees will basically be entitled to self-certify their sickness instead of getting a sick note. That sounds like a recipe for employment-related claims ahoy; a field day for the...

Re: Randomness
And I just got this in a mailshot from Papa Johns. Surely this was meant to be an April Fool's prank ??? Screenshot 2024-04-19 111928.jpg You must surely be right - maybe they did it as an April Fool in a previous year and there was such a demand they have released it for real? My wife likes Jellyc...

Re: Petrol Honda mowers
I forgot to revisit this thread when my new mower arrived. Only looked at it again because I have to do a lot of mowing to do this weekend - the forecast is dry for once. I now have four mowers (and a strimmer) and I will use most of them tomorrow: new ride-on Al-ko T22 105.4; it is much less effort...

Re: Test drive report
I think you're right Scott - any of the colours (yellow, blue and red) really work with the black pack. Nimbus works with or without.
Would be nice to see the new colours in the flesh, despite most of them being different shades of blue and silver.

Re: Test drive report
That is quite useful - the diamond cut alloys look much better in the flesh than photos, and the wheels are the same on all of them just finished differently so easy to paint silver or some shade of grey if I fancied; but on the Nimbus Grey car I'm not sure they work. I was also a bit concerned that...

Re: Test drive report
Perhaps the metallic red. Have a look at both the reds in the metal if you get the chance! :) In the GRP? :lol: I'm pretty sure it's only Magma Red which was used on the 2023 cars which I'd be choosing from - looks nice in photos but I haven't seen it in the flesh. Is it a bit more marmite than I w...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Forgot to mention - I saw a red S3 Esprit (non-Turbo as far as I could tell in my mirrors) driving round the Stourbridge ring road on Wednesday evening. Nice to see it being driven.

Re: Test drive report
Apparently the V6 auto isn’t bad at all, Ian. At first I considered it - I completely missed the fact that there was a clutch pedal as I first started it 😂 Getting lazy, clearly. But I found if you leave it in 4th you can treat it pretty much like an auto except as you come to a stop and the gear ch...

Re: Test drive report
Pleased Lotus are still the enthusiasts choice if you want something really special. Shame that still means they don't sell quite like they should :mrgreen: Any other colours you'd consider Jobbo? There were not many colour choices initially - I’d go for the dark grey but I’m not so keen on the ver...

Re: Test drive report
No, really not interested in that version. It feels like the basis for a future hybrid version while the V6 makes a nice noise and has a lovely supercharger whine/howl when you clog it.

I think we have a winner, despite the Emira forums doing their very best to make me think it's a clown car which everything falls off
