Maybe because the speckly ones are liquorice?

WOF not given because of mis-matched tyres. What on Earth does that mean. It’s not as if we go out and buy a tyre and stick it on ourselves. Same tyres as last WOF and it was passed then. This is at VTNZ is there room to argue?

None whatsoever. That is actually a requirement. They must have just missed it last time. 

A garage might or might not let it go. Probably not with all the recent crackdowns. I think the reason for it is that mismatched tyres can throw the vehicle out of control during an emergency stop. Maybe wear is also affected. Buy a new tyre, keep the old one, use it to match when another one needs replacing.

Sounds like a plan. Will take it to the Beaurepairs who put it on in the first place and see what they have to say about their choices. Didn’t need this right now with family arriving while surgery happening. 

Why do leaves not break down over time? I cleaned out under our hedges and it looked like largely the last 3-5 years worth of leaves were still largely intact.

They dry out and then seem to not break down. Need to be in a gross damp place to break down. Probably the hedge was giving too much protection from rain etc.

They looked plenty wet actually. I wondered if it was a combination of factors that caused the breakdown? Wouldn't have been a lot of sunlight there recently.

Look at it as a feature, not a bug.  Bare soil under a hedge is vastly less useful for retaining moisture during the dry summer months than soil with a layer of leaves over it.

Bung: Some leaves compost easily, all you have to do is bag them and wait. Others just dry out and turn leathery. What is your hedge?

Why are recessed flush small daylight and movement sensors so hard to find? 

I have that functionality in my $11 Pbtech motion activated lights that are tiny.

Any electrical item that differs from the norm of a flushbox or fitting straight over a flat surface with a wire coming out of it is a very, very hard sell to the electrician industry as they need to pre-wire with a different retention method, meaning that there is a chance they have the fittings sitting around during the gibbing process where they get stolen with great regularity. 

Standard flushbox will take anything ontop of it, is a cheap commodity item with many suppliers of compatible things so can be bought ahead of time.
