If your idea of patriotism is calling any member of the RNLI, an entirely voluntary organisation whose crews daily risk their lives to save others, a traitor, then you are beyond hope of redemption.

My brother in law has designed an app/game and is looking for testers to give feedback. It's a hurricane based simulation game, just requires installation, playing a short amount of time at whatever frequency works for you whether it be 15 mins daily or 24/7 for 14 days. DM me if interested 🙂

#mathstoday (Friday) I was on a speed awareness course, the instructor said a few surprising things: Car speedometers show 10% more than the speed you’re going. Speed cameras don’t activate until you’re going 10% above limit + 2 On motorway, I’m not classed as speeding until my speedometer shows 87?
