Tyre pressure is extremely important for the safe running of your car, 

yet is one of the most overlooked points of car maintenance. 

Over inflated tyres are as bad as under inflated, leading to uneven wear 

and increased risk of a blowout. 

Your vehicle manual will advise of you the recommended pressure for 

normal road use, and in many cars this information can also can be found 

on a label in the driver door archway. 

Failure to maintain the necessary standard of tyre pressure could 

result in a Fixed Penalty Notice, but more importantly, you could be 

putting yours and others lives at risk.

Grace & Tom were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. Tom 

was asked what he had learned from all those wonderful years of marriage. 

He replied, “I’ve learned that marriage is the best teacher of all. It teaches 

you loyalty, forbearance, meekness, self-restraint, forgiveness --and a great 

many other qualities you wouldn’t have needed if you’d stayed single.”

Travel Feature - 

Bird’s Eye View of London... 

By Mags Addison 

The views of the River Thames and it’s many bridges, were spread below us. 

And it was one of those occasions when you couldn’t stop taking photos and 

spying famous landmarks during the 360 deg panoramic journey. They say 

it’s the view you’ll never forget. 

So where was I? Actually, in a capsule on the Coca Cola London Eye, one of 

the few places in the capital where you can enjoy such a view. London is an 

amazing city for a short break any time of the year, with so much to do and 

see. So why not grab a bird’s eye view of the city while there. 

I travel to London regularly, mainly through business and training events, but 

rarely have time to indulge in something like this huge observation wheel 

which is an icon of modern London. You almost take it for granted on the river side, and the glimpses you 

have when coming into Waterloo on the train. It’s not till you actually stand under it, that you realise how 

big it is. Apparently the circumference would take 2,120 Cola Bottles laid around it! 

It’s just five minutes’ walk from Waterloo station – so ideally placed for people from the south. Straight 

off the train, and you’re practically there. Be warned though, the queues are horrendously long at peak 

times, so booking your time slot in advance before you arrive in London is essential. But in early February 

– although there were plenty of people milling about and queuing, getting on board was fairly straight 

forward. The really lengthy queues were inside – in the ticket section of the County Hall. 

With Easter and other holidays, and half terms coming up at this time of year, it’s popular not just with 

families and foreign tourists, but everyone. And for special occasions. There are many options with the 

London Eye ticket, so purchase the one that is right for you: Standard. Fast Track. Champagne Experience. 

Friends and Family Private Capsules, etc. 

One thing I found is that when booking online – or on site, is it pays to consider what else you plan to 

do while in the City. And plan ahead. Because upgrading your ticket to include other attractions saves 

money. And it makes sense to book everything together as one combined ticket, rather than paying for 

each attraction individually. These saver tickets cover: Madam Tussauds. The London Dungeon. Shrek’s 

Adventure. Sea Life Aquarium. 

It is worth the money – and as I looked down on the Thames 

on this pale wintery, sunny morning all the famous landmarks 

were displayed below me. Whichever direction you looked, 

everything was familiar. Big Ben, and the Houses of 

Parliament. Buckingham Palace – skirted by Green Park. 

The Post Office Tower, and below us on the embankment, the 

famous Savoy Hotel. This side of the river, the South Bank and 

the Festival Hall – and St Paul’s in the distance. And souring 

above all, one of the newer additions to London’s landmarks, 

The Shard – who’s observation deck on the 72nd floor, has 

been the highest viewing point in London since 2013. 

Beach holidays, City breaks, Honeymoons, Weddings abroad, Adventure holidays, Ski, 

Cruise, Tailormade trips, Flight only, Car hire, Airport hotels and parking and much more...

Derek J.Rolls 

Independent Estate Agents & Valuers 

ASK THE AGENT... 

Q: How do I go about choosing an agent to sell my home? 

Choosing who to entrust with selling what is almost certainly our single most valuable 

asset ought to be one of the most considered decisions any of us ever take. Yet bizarrely, 

many people choose their estate agent with a good deal less serious thought than if they 

were deciding where to buy their groceries. Indeed, two of the commonest reasons for 

choosing one agent over another are that: 

1: They valued your home the highest, or 2: Yhey were the cheapest. 

Hardly scientific, is it? No wonder so many people don’t have a good word to say about 

estate agents! 

There is no one “correct” way to choose an agent. There are those who insist that your 

best bet is to choose a small, local independent firm. And there is some merit in this 

argument. After all, everything else being equal, you might reasonably expect a small 

local firm to really know the area in question, and perhaps also be able to offer a more 

personal service than their larger competitors. But that is not always the case. The plain 

fact is that there are both good and bad local independent agents - and by the same 

token, there are good and bad among the larger, so- called “corporate” agents too. 

Similarly, it is often argued that you should always choose an agent who belongs to one 

of the recognised professional bodies, such as the National Association of Estate Agents, 

which operates a strict code of conduct and generally exists to champion the highest 

professional standards. However, human nature being what it is, having the letters 

“MNAEA” or “FNAEA” after an agent’s name is no absolute guarantee of quality, 

any more than the absence of those letters automatically means that an agent is no good 

at his job. 

Personal recommendation is often cited as the best way to choose an agent. 

Nevertheless ... the fact is, we’re all different, and what works well for one person may 

not work so well for another. 

Of course, in an ideal world I would say that choosing an estate agent should involve all 

of the above. Ultimately however, it really comes down to trust and rapport. 

Basically, if you have a good feeling about the trustworthiness and professionalism of an 

agent, then go with it!

“The car won’t start,” said a wife to her husband. “I think there’s water 

in the carburettor.” “How do you know?” said the husband scornfully. 

“You don’t even know what the carburettor is.” “I’m telling you,” repeated 

the wife, “I’m sure there’s water in the carburettor.” “We’ll see,” mocked 

the husband. “Let me check it out. Where’s the car?” “In the river!”

“Salary Theorem” states that “Engineers and Scientists can never 

earn as much as Business Executives and Sales People.” 

This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation 

based on the following two postulates: 

1. Knowledge is Power. 2. Time is Money. 

As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time 

Since: Knowledge = Power and Time = Money 

It follows that: Knowledge = Work/Money. 

Therefore for Money, we get: Money = Work / Knowledge. 

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, 

regardless of the amount of work done. 

Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.

Is Windows a Virus ? 

No, Windows is not a virus. Here’s what viruses do: 

1.They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that. 

2.Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system 

as they do so - true, Windows does that. 

3.Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - 

hmm, Windows does that too. 

4.Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with 

valuable programs and systems. - Yes.. Windows does that as well. 

5.Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too 

slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. - 

Again, Windows does that, too. 

Until now then it seems Windows is a virus but there are 

fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, 

are running effectively on most systems, their program code is fast, 

compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as 

they mature. So Windows is not a virus. It’s a bug!

There is no beating the taste of truly fresh 

fruit and veg especially, when it’s yours! 

Gardening Tips for March 

Preparation is the watchword for March. There are a number of things to get ready and sow in the 

vegetable patch. 

You should prepare the ground for sowing outdoors. You might want to cover it with back fabric to 

warm it up, if you have cloches you can use them too if you feel the weather is still too cold. About a 

week prior to sowing, give the site a liberal sprinkling of a general fertiliser such as Growmore. 

If you have one, now is the time to clean up your seed bed. Break up any large clods, de-stone and 

remove any weed growth, then rake over. 

Climbing Bean trenches should be dug and backfilled with organic matter and newspaper to aid moisture 

retention in the growing season. 

If you are planning to grow Asparagus for the first time, do it now and follow the suppliers planting 

advice to ensure success. Here at North Bournemouth Allotments my wife and I planted 1 year old 

Asparagus 2 years ago and are now looking forward to our first crop. So you have to be patient. 

Sowing Outdoors: Carrots, Parsnips, Cauliflowers, Salad crops, Beetroot, Summer Cabbage, Leeks & 

Spinach. 

Sowing Indoors: Celery, Celeriac, Tomatoes. 

Planting Outdoors: First Early Potatoes. Garlic, Onion Sets & Bare rooted 

Fruit Trees. Summer flowering bulbs such as Gladioli and Dahlia Tubers. 

Gooseberries must be pruned by this month. Cut main stems by 1/3, low and 

crossing branches, opening up the centre of the plant for light and access to 

the fruit later on. 

Do not forget the slugs, snails and Hedgehogs are more active now, so treat 

any plants at risk with care. 

Gardening Tips for April 

Now it is April, Easter is upon us and everyone is expecting the warmer weather to arrive. Be warned, 

one warm day is not the start of summer and frost is not unknown at this time of year. 

Last month we concentrated upon the vegetable plot. Now it is the time to focus on our flower garden. 

How to maximise all those glorious colours and bring them into the house where possible. 

Whether it is foliage or flowers, there are hundreds of flowers you can set from seed in April. 

It is probably best to sow your seeds indoors in modules or trays as per the seed supplier’s instructions. 

Whilst these are germinating you should prepare the ground you intend to plant them. 

Consider the colour and height combinations for your borders. I have found a great wall chart you can 

study in your planting preparations. Which plants are Perennial, Annual, Biennial, Hardy, Half Hardy. 

Flowers that are great for arrangements, cutting fresh and others that are just right for drying. 

hub.suttons.co.uk/featured/cut-flower-wall-chart-and-growing-guide 

If you are planning a new bed it is best to take a bit of time and 

effort in the preparation. You would be disappointed later on to 

have a weed infested border, so dig them out by hand now. At this 

point cover the ground with some black plastic. In doing this any 

remaining weeds will seek out the light and after a short time you 

can peel back the plastic to uncover the white roots. You should 

clear them thoroughly. Flowers do not require much fertilizer but a 

dressing of Blood, Fish & Bone together with a little Growmore will 

get your new plants going.

Project Indigo 

One boy’s adventure through time and space! 

Hi, I’m Tom, a local Doctor Who blogger & I write about my adventures online at 

anadventurethroughtimeandspace.com 

Project Indigo is my special blog where I travel the world (mainly the UK!) visiting places 

associated with Doctor Who. 

This month we are visiting Dyrham Park in 

Gloucestershire, filming location for The Night Terrors 

which was an Eleventh Doctor episode in 2011. In this 

episode the Doctor, Amy and Rory visit a little boy in 

London who is so scared of his wardrobe that his fear 

is transmitted throughout the universe. This mission to 

help the child leads them to become trapped in a Dolls 

House where they must fight peg-dolls that would scare 

anyone silly! 

Dyrham Park is a National Trust property near Bath. 

This country house was built in the late 17th Century for a politician named William 

Blathwayt who received the land through marriage to Mary Wynter. He is very well known 

in America as he was a key figure in the administration of the American Colonies and he 

also served as Secretary of War under James II and William III. 

This house was chosen as the filming location as it looks like it would make a perfect Dolls 

House. I visited at Christmas time when the weather was grey but dry. First I explored 

the grounds which are famous for being home to a herd of fallow deer. The name Dyrham 

comes the Anglo-Saxon word ‘dirham’ which means ‘enclosure for deer’. The deer park 

covers 270 acres! 

The gardens are in the middle of a project to recreate the look of the 17th Century. I found 

a gate which took me to the Lost Terraces which are still undergoing work to restore them. 

I walked in the footsteps of William Blathwayt which have just been uncovered and looked 

down upon St Peter’s Church where he got married. It felt very tranquil in the terraces. 

Afterwards I went into the house which was very 

imposing. I recognised the wooden panelled walls 

but in the episode all the furniture had been 

removed for filming and replaced by dolls-house 

furniture, including a wooden frying pan. I could 

see lots of worldwide treasures from a time of 

exploration including Dutch items such as blue and 

white Delftware Pottery and a still-life by Cornelis 

De Heem. There was also a famous Trompe L’oeil 

by Samuel Van Hoogstraten, a picture which 

messes with your mind. On the way out I was 

offered some hot chocolate made using a 17th 

Century recipe. It was very, very spicy! 

Thank you for reading and if you would like to read about other Doctor Who locations I 

have visited please check out my blog. Goodbye!

“Comfortable Feet” 

41 

It’s important that our feet are comfortable whether 

we are working or going for a leisurely walk. Insoles 

are an excellent way to achieve comfortable feet. 

Insoles are beneficial for a few simple reasons: 

1. They provide cushioning and support 

2. They are an efficient way of relieving foot pain 

3. Improved performance during athletic activities 

Here is a quick guide explaining these points in more detail. 

Our insoles are individually molded to your feet so they provide the support and cushioning 

needs for your feet. With this support, your feet will fatigue less easily, meaning you can enjoy 

your activities throughout the day. 

There are three primary foot types which affects our bodies way of absorbing impact: 

overpronation, excessive supination and neutral. Overpronation occurs when the foot rolls 

inwardly excessively and excessive supination is the opposite when the foot rolls to the outside. 

Neutral is when weight is distributed evenly across the foot. Whatever your foot type though, 

our insoles can properly support your arches into the neutral position in order to maintain a 

balanced state and a healthy foot function. 

Another common problem which insoles can help is plantar 

fasciitis. Common symptoms of this condition is pain in the heel 

and is most often felt during the first few steps of the day and 

after rest. Our insoles can help reduce the strain on the plantar 

fascia muscle, allowing the muscle to time it needs to heal. 

Bunions can also be helped with insoles by repositioning the 

foot to reduce pressure on the bunion area. This is achieved by 

supporting the transverse arch which runs across the middle 

of the foot from the outside to the inside. This arch provides 

flexibility and support for the foot. 

Finally, your sporting activities can be improved by using insoles. Sports injuries can occur 

due to the repetitive and sudden movements in the feet. The most common injuries occur in 

the ligaments and are related to the overuse and structural misalignment of the foot. 

This can be prevented by ensuring your feet are kept in the neutral position while still 

delivering dynamic flex for the arches. This support also improves energy transfer and reduces 

wasted motion.

An elderly couple had been experiencing declining memories, so they 

decided to take a power memory class where one is taught to remember 

things by association. A few days after the class, the old man was outside 

“Oh, ummmm, let’s see,” the old man pondered. “You know that flower, you 

know, the one that smells really nice but has those prickly thorns, what’s 

that flower’s name?” “A rose?” asked the neighbour. “Yes, that’s it,” replied 

the old man. He then turned toward his house and shouted, “Hey, Rose, 

what’s the name of the Instructor we took the memory class from?”
