We have one route where two very different designed bridges are joined together and you would swear you can’t get a decker under but it will in the middle of the road, bit of an optical illusion. We also have a regular one that is 4 inches taller than a decker, for some reason trucks get stuck under it at least twice a year, I think they see us go under it and decide to ignore that they may be a few inches taller. TFL said they were going to put a double decker under this during the Olympics, I said will it fit? They assured me it would. My next question was could I watch them try please? They said I could ride on the test bus if I wanted, but I declined. No idea height of DD bus so it may have fitted. I do note that since the Olympics the bridge height sign is 6 inches lower than before. It used to say 4.6m/15' 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 So it would fit if you let the tyres down and filled it with ballast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a formula for bridge height signs that errs on the safe side, so it is probably half a foot higher then that. But then some twat resurfaces the road and doesn't tell the bridge people who look after the signs that there is more or less room of course. From Chapter 4 TSM 7.4.1. The imperial figure shown on signs to indicate the available headroom should be at least 3 inches less than the measured height to allow a safety margin. If the resulting figure is not a multiple of 3 inches, it should be rounded down to the nearest lower multiple of 3 inches. Example 1: measured height 15’-2”: Step 1 subtract 3” to create a safety margin 14’-11” Step 2 round down to nearest multiple of 3” Step 3 sign as 14’-9”. Example 2: measured height 14’-6”: Step 1 subtract 3” to create a safety margin 14’-3” Step 2 sign as 14’-3” (rounding down not required as already a multiple of 3”) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fallsalot Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Fucking pointless smart technology is whats gripping my shit at the moment. I was looking for a new jet washer this week and while doing some research i discovered you can get one that has a Bluetooth connectivity, why the fuck would anyone want that. all i want to do is it to point a hose at something and get it wet fast. My tumble dryer is the same i wonder if it will need therapy in the future because i cant be arsed to connect to it and i'll end up in court for neglect or some shit 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 There’s been a transportation crisis going on around Europe for weeks/months now, I talked to a couple of people in the industry today while trying to help a friend out. But how can you know of such a specific shortage a month in advance unless you’re just selling news out of scare mongering? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymwitch Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hubs is working with Kim. Shes on L plates and he's giving her advice on getting her test done and what bike to get.... so she's bought herself a Tracer... like my husbands not passed her test yet. Last night he gives her his bike to have a go on and she dropped it. Part of me (the evil bit) LAUGHING MY TINY TITS OFF. The other part....Furious !!! Only this weekend he told me shes a good driver (purposefully not using rider) but she's over confident.....still gives her his bike that was absolutely scratch free apart from a scratch on the top box that occurred when WE dropped it through the greenhouse but we wont mention that. Anyhoo its proper fecked now. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
