    GPS or Rangefinger .

    I never thought of this , tried one or two phone apps but the faff of getting it in and out of my pocket was getting to be a pain but I can probably live with it thinking on . A cheap laser would be a good option I think if I can settle on a good gps app , the best of both then . Thanks for all...

    GPS or Rangefinger .

    Gents a bit of advice from the learned masses is required . I have now retired and have come to be in possession of some AG vouchers so as a high handicapper I am wondering what you think would help me more ,a GPS watch or a rangefinder .I am torn between the Garmin S12 or the TECTECTEC KLYR...

    Recommend an SUV for a golfer

    Got a Volvo XC40 , despite its size have to take the driver out but a bag will just fit across the opening ,trolley behind . A bit disappointing size wise but other than that a great car .

    Parking places running out.

    But is a parking charge by its nature a charge to use the road ? Use of the road for parking is unavoidable for some so it just penalises those who do not have off road parking . I think the car owner is paying enough to be provided with better roads as it is , and off road parking ? I do not...

    Parking places running out.

    Great idea , while we are at it , why not charge cyclists for using public roads ? And we may as well charge pedestrians for using public footpaths while we are at it . The common word here is public , for us all to use as we see fit and not the preserve of the few who can pay . We are having...

    Quechua / Decathlon Walking Boots

    I bought a pair of Quechua walking boots last year a blue nylon type of sorts and i have to say they are marvelous for the money. Not sure about the waterproofing as not used them in any really heavy downpours but for day to day general use really good ,and very comfortable to wear .

    No claims discount protection in car insurance ??

    By coincidence the wife's has come in for renewal , up from £220 to £389:eek: a quick look around and plenty of quotes at around £220 so i guess she will be changing . I really get peeved when you ring to cancel the renewal and they instantly knock £150 off , still move even if they say they...

    Railways, Underground and Unions

    This attitude really makes me laugh , i take it you do not live in an area where there is only 1 significant industry ? For example Port Talbot with the steelworks ? If you did you would realize this is not always possible as there are frequently no other jobs around . Following your belief, if...
