Another Interesting Post

The tree was about 25 yrs old, which is old to be made into a fence post. There's a shadow on the ground which looks like one cast by the legally required notice warning of an electric fence, so the track is prolly a footpath or RUPP.

Sorry, I haven't got time to talk about the watch.

That's an interesting comment. There is a public footpath near me where the owner has put an electric fence running along the top of the wooden fence. It couldn't possibly have any use other than to keep intruders out, but I have to watch my kids as it would be so easy for them to touch it. Needless to say there is no warning notice.

Are you sure it is required?

Think you're using too many bath salts, but well done for keeping the lense clean

Very definitely required. Here's the link:
shocking news

What is emphasised at training sessions is that you mustn't

put more than one fencer into a fencing circuit (that would give shocks at a rate more than the permitted one)


attach a fencer to a barbed wire fence (dange rof getting caught up and repeated shocks)


Trading Standards (I think) is the local govt office which deals with this.

Operational Risk Consultancy has an element of forensic work in it, mainly finding out where expensive systems and buildings have gone wrong. It gets to you a bit, cos every time I see a set of tyre marks on the motorway I try to work out what happened.

I do get out a lot, but only having studied the NASA web site for meteor showers and predicted landing zones.

If counting rings on trees and using that watch is how you tell the time good job you stick to lakes and don't worry about tide times /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

There isn't one. Didn't you realise?

Thought I recognised the signs . Once you've been in a position where you have to pay close attention to the most innocuos detail it's hard to stop doing it . Still tend to do it but not as much as a few years ago

Been trying to break the habit for 4 decades. There's hope for me, you say ? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hope , but no certainties /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I was watching an old re run of The Avengers earlier and realised I was still doing it /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif bit sad when you notice an actor helping himself to a whisky , and you notice how much he pours , then replaces the stopper , then he has more in the glass than he poured in the first place /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ah, the old Increasing Whisky trick. Never seems to work for me /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Easy mistake to make.
