Quite a misleading comment when they also say
The average wind speed across the UK is ~5.6m/sec. at 10m above the ground

Why is it misleading?

How many average houses do you think would have an average wind speed of 5.6m/sec. =13 MPH below ridge height. ?

I've no idea, that's not what was said though.

Doesn't make a difference. The local one is a sub post office and for whatever reason not authorised to issue car licences. I have no idea why - bureaucratic nonsense because it's not difficult.
So the option is then to visit the main post office in the town, necessitating finding and paying for somewhere to park and then having to queue for 20mins. I detest all aspects of that, so if there is an on line option, that will be the next solution. The only other thing I use the Post Office to do is to send a few items by Special Delivery each month. That could be replaced by Interlink or someone like that.

They all said, in different ways, that they preferred to talk to wives as well because men often forgot or didn't take notice of what they said.

Worst thing they ever did introducing single queues. At least before you could see who was in which queue and make an informed decision on who was likely to be banking £20 in pennies
Single qs with incessent adverts for insurance savings schemes blaring away... bit like the "your call is important to us" nonsense. Bring back the engaged tone if companies cannot be bothered to answer the phone

Given the limited parking at our local hospitals, I would suggest it's more rationing by price.

The only cheques we write nowadays are for the kid's school meals tickets. We have to buy a book of tickets for each kid every couple of weeks.
The local council is firmly stuck in the 19th century. It's only recently that some of the bigger council-run leisure facilities have started accepting anything other than cash or cheque.
I see that many petrol stations now refuse to accept cheques.

Luckily my school accepts cold hard cash for this and you can pay up to a year in advance if you are so inclined.

If you don't like it ... :-)
2006 has been The Year of the Hospitals for us and we've used seven different hospital dedicated car parks during consultations, examinations, fittings, ay and long term surgery and visiting. They've all had different pay structures, some were long term, some short. None was run by the hospital and none of the hospitals benefitted from the charges. I was happy to pay far more than £4 for a five hour stay, in fact I'm happy to pay for hospital car parking whatever it is.It's a privilege to have a car, we pay for associated privileges. If we don't like it we can use public transport or mini-cabs, someone said it wouldn't be any more expensive :-)

Just rang them about the cost of pole and brackets - they are included in the cost, the leaflet says the weight excludes it. Must read more carefully!
However they did tell me that BS24 in Somerset has an average speed of
3=2E8m/s and it needs 4.5m/s, so no use here. I asked why B&W sell it round here and they suggested I ask them!- Vote on answer
