true_rover Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Isn't it to do with some regulation that they have to be under a certain amount of calories? Still annoying. Mostly not, their input costs have gone up so they can either make the product smaller or charge the consumer more and the former cause fewer complaints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Italian alphabet didn't originally contain a y (or a j, k, w or x) and it's only modern loanwords from other languages that contain those letters (like jeans or lanyard or w****r).

Cerberus Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Aiden/Ayden is such a jakey name. It's a little know fact that everyone who is called Aiden works in a call centre. And not even a semi-respectable Tier 3 technical specialist call centre, they all work in an outbound sales call centres trying to punt shite like new kitchens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackdaybob Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Whilst looking at prospective house purchases, I couldn't help noticing that a good few owners had gone down the artificial lawn route. All I could think was it'll end up stinking of various animal's piss. We bought a house with a lawn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at school with a guy called Aidan who became an award-winning journalist with the Scotsman and has written a number of football-related books, including one about the 2016 Cup Final. (Okay, that last one is for sale for six quid in The Works, but it's still a proper book.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A far worse example of bad marking is at the Dalscone roundabout. Three lanes - turn left, straight on and turn right - turned into two, one for turn left and straight on another for turn right ... ok so far, apart from when they decided to mark the right turn lane with a straight ahead arrow This is a pet hate of mine. There was a line added to the design codes which said something like "avoid right turn arrows on roundabout approaches where there is a high number of foreign drivers and potential for confusion".

Seem to recall a lot about "deflection" and "flair" lengths though?! Deflection is a design requirement for safety. Basically can't have entry too straight as people can drive on too fast/not give way. Entry path radii cannot exceed 100m on standard and 70m on compact roundabouts. Flare length is basically an addition to the calculation about the length of additional lanes on approach.

I do a bit of design work, and I can often mark them like that. Why contradict the highway code though? Especially when most cars will go over or right. By doing that there they're more likely to have two lots of traffic queuing for the right hand lane whereas had they had left well alone and not made a complete arse of it the traffic would have flowed better. Don't know the location. Like I say whenever I design something it's a calculation based on what works best for traffic flows. Incidentally I don't think there is a rule that if there is 2 lanes, then the inside is for ahead and right lane for right. In the picture it's 2 lane exits, and just showing a diagram of typical movements. Certainly isn't in design terms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
