  1. Must be a regional thing as I live in North Essex and my local Lidl do not have it....
  2. Anyone know a friendly lottery winner...?
  3. I have a number of Ni-Mh cells that I would like to check out more thoroughly. Sure, they seem to charge OK but you are correct in that they might collapse under load. What is the consensus on what the load should be and the best way to apply it? Has anyone designed a simple circuit that will apply a constant load while the voltage is checked? What can be used as the load - bulb, resistor..? What is your favourite method?
  4. If you download the Lidl app you are able to see the special offers leaflet a week in advance.
  5. Dick If you pm me your postal address and I can post you a copy. Rob
  6. Don't you mean half the country can't read, half can't write and other third can't add up.....!
  7. Geoff, I had that problem but I bought one of those gadgets that sends the Internet signal round the household ring main. You had a plug in device which could be moved from room to room or you purchased as many as you wanted. Even worked in the garage at the bottom of my drive!
  8. One of these.......? Bruafsir RC Nitro 1.2 V 1800Mah Rechargeable Glow Plug Igniter DC USB Charger for Nitro Engine 1/10 1/8 RC Car https://amzn.eu/d/bKgSasj
  9. This little gadget fits in your USB socket and tells you how much charge has gone in.... ARCELI USB Charger Doctor Current Voltage Charging Detector Battery Voltmeter Ammeter Multimeter USB Tester Mobile Power Panel Monitor Gauge DC LED Display https://amzn.eu/d/fkHik8T
  10. You're lucky Ron. I live at sea level on the NE Essex coast and DAB is intermittent at best and non existent at worst!!
  11. I have fond memories of the Bev. My uncle flew on them many times during the RAF Aden campaign. If we can save the last one then it is money well spent.... There is a Justgiving page if anyone would like to help... https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/dougie-kerr?utm_id=2&utm_term=r3QMbKwqw
  12. Surely, handing the Tx to A N Other while you retrieve the model could be a risk. It is clear when an IC model is not running but what would happen if you were retrieving an electric model and the throttle got accidentally moved by the Tx keeper? Keep control of the Tx until the model is disarmed.
  13. Just an aside but didn't we all have a test of a nationwide alert system on our mobiles a while ago? With recent storms causing problems nationwide it would have been a good opportunity to use it. They could have given information regionally in one broadcast. Or is it just for impending nuclear war...!!
