The Government appears to just send the details to spec savers and they contact you to make an appointment seemingly within a short period of time from getting the letter.

Specsavers then send the results to the DVLA who decide on your licence.

I am not aware of there being any choice in the matter.

I think people with eye defects will already be under the ongoing care of Opticians who would be perfectly capable of doing the requisite testing.

Many would also be regularly seen by medical specialists who are probably more than capable of testing and deciding on vision for driving.

There is a visual field requirement for drivers as well as the number plate & visual acuity requirement.

It is all clearly shown on the government’s website here:-

Tim Hunkin has his own website with new Secret Life of Components stuff here: Tim Hunkin

He is also remastering and putting the original programmes on you tube these work normally on my iPad.

Such as this one and others: YouTube Hunkin (same as Michaels).

I loved those programmes and also have his book called “Almost Everything There is to Know” which is full of fascinating things.

Never wear pendants when operating machinery.

Should have said this in my earlier post.

Homebase stores are open and they stock it. So do B&Q.

Well the ones I’ve been in anyway.

Michael.

My comment was certainly not intended to put down your link this morning because I thoroughly enjoy looking at your online discoveries,

Generally I enjoy reading about the amazing advances in technology.

I was just rather amused that the media and NHS appeared to have caught up with this after so much time.

hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Hardly brand new stuff.

I remember when the wife used to watch Richard & Judy that Richard swallowed one and featured the results on their show.

I think somebody put themselves on YouTube doing it a few years ago as well.

You could try these people for carbon brushes.

Brushes

Never actually used them but been in my favourites page for ages.

If it were me I would put it on eBay or somewhere like that and specify selling for for spares or repair only.

Any other way will probably cost you lots of time and money without a guaranteed outcome financially or operationally.

The imeche have lots of interesting stuff in their library/archives. Imeche

This for instance. Newcomen

Not sure if this might help you.

Wow!
Can I drive that please mister.😀

As my granny used to say ‘people who live in glass houses should not throw stones’.

I just finished reading this thread when an email from Argos arrived headed “control your home from your phone”. Funny coincidence or big brother at work!

Why does she want to fry air?

Changing light bulbs! I thought that was a servants job.😉

Should’ve got some decent Welsh steam coal.
