WOW!
Had a notification from the NHS Track and Trace app that I've been close to someone who tested positive.
One hour later I get another notification saying my contact has been checked and there's nothing to worry about.
I know there's a lot of criticism around of this but it certainly worked on this occasion!

Found this thread a while ago - I have lobbed a few comments at it but I thought I would introduce myself
I'm Mike
I have an ebike - and I don't care if it is cheating - I love it
Anway - I was in IT in a big company for 20 years - did very techy stuff but eventually got kicked out (sorry - my job got made redundant - which I reckon cost them a fortune!)
Then I accidentally became a teacher (long story) and taught IT in secondary schools for over 10 years
Then realised that I was living in the wrong place (i.e. 80 miles from my now wife)
sp I became an IT Technician in a variety of school - finally IT Tech in a local Primary school for 3-4 years
Then the Head Teacher left and the new one didn't thin she needed an IT Tech in the school - and planned to have me working as a full time teacher
She said that as I worked in the school I had to do what she said - it was already clear she didn't like me anyway
That evening I got home to find an annul letter from my old pension company - just a general overall summary - so the next day I rang them and got a quote of how much I would get if I retired early (58) - and did the same with my Teach Pension
Turned out that I would get £200 more per month of I retired that term than I was getting paid for working
Quickest resignation letter ever typed!!!
Anyway - got married a few months later and me and 'the wife' have been slobbing around happily ever since
except for me going out riding for a couple of hours whenever it ain't raining!!
Anyway - that's me
p.s. other sites have commented on my spelling and grammar - My spelling and grammar are fine - I was taught it at school
Typing - not so much
and I have a thing where if I see a misspelt word I can't see it - I can spell it fine - but I can't see what is wrong if I look at it
so apologies for any typing errors

Don't apologise for riding an Ebike or for your typing. Predictive text is not my friend. Just ask Mo

The state of my legs some days, I’m not sure my e-bike days are all that far off!
20 years ago, my physio said she was most impressed with my legs and even said they were 'beautiful'.Keeps me amused

I now always tell my mates that I've got medically certified beautiful legs.

Spent an hour watching Dr K and also Terry Miles on YouTube last night and we are back on for some more tonight, it was not my mind if music up until I saw these two, awesome. My mother was a pianist who played in the cinema at 14 played right up until 84 in her church, I was not allowed to touch the piano and was not shown how to play.
Yes and she had 40 years experience.
