Should I be worried about having a low resting heart rate or is it a good thing?

It's usually around 50-55 but can be as low as 45.

60 - 100 is in the normal range, so you aren't really much below that. If you feel dizzy or tired a lot go see a doc says the BHF, but 50-55 can just be what is normal for you. You're out in the garden a lot aren't you, so you could just be really fit and healthy.

It ties in with my stress levels which very rarely get above relaxed so it must suit me being out in the sticks 😂

Quite often its a sign of being really fit, like endurance athletes have low resting heart rates. Or, if it is just sporadically low (usually its 55 but sometimes you get a 45 bpm reading), it could also be a measurement error.

But as above, speak to a doc if you are worried!

I think it's just how I am as I've always been pretty active, walking etc.

When I check my watch app say for the last month every daily reading is around 50-55 range with one at 60.

What the fuck even is that?? 

Oh ok got it, they're under water.  Yeah I've always been a better swimmer under water than on the surface and loved diving 👍

Free divers are people who dive very deep with no air tanks. They can hold their breath for stupidly long periods of time, like over 10 minutes - good luck trying to drown a freediver in the bath (if you are that way inclined)

Try a tandem sky dive Deb, it's one of the best things I ever did, falling over a mile at 120mph or so with loads of noise and then once the chute opens, its absolute peace and quiet and a fantastic view of the ground, you're about a mile up when the chute is deployed, so you get a great view.

50-55 with the odd 60 sounds fine, but check the GP if worried - does yours use askmygp?

I used to work with a girl who was a qualified skydiver she was always trying to get me to have a go but I really can't do heights.

I was on an outdoor pursuits weekend down on Dartmoor years ago and our instructor organised for us to do the high ropes course. 

I was fine setting off but then had to be rescued half way round as I just freaked out on one section that clearly wasn't designed for someone less than 5ft tall.  Standing on a thin wire then having to lean forward to grab another wire that meant I was looking at the floor having to shimmy to the next section.

It took nearly half an hour to calm me down enough to climb down the escape ladder.

I then went with a few girls from work to the go ape one at the Trafford centre which was like a kids playground in comparison.  I got the harness on and joined the qué then freaked out again just before we went through the gate.  Just the thought of it was enough to get me hyperventilating and needing first aid.

No I don't think mine does have that option mate.

Brake light on my car keeps staying on at the moment, it turns on as soon as I start the engine. Only goes off when I press the brake peddle all the way down, could it be faulty wiring? Don't want to take to a garage if it's an easy fix, they'll end up charging £15 for a bulb change.

I'd change the brake light switch, sounds like that's faulty, sounds like its sticking. They're about a tenner and easy to replace. Either Google or youtube your make and model of car and you'll find out where its located and how to swap it out.

Is there anything you can do to charge a laptop with a three-pin power adaptor through a USB socket?

Flew with Virgin the other week and they advertise the 787-9 as having three-pin sockets in all seats, but they don't, and my laptop is a touch too old to be charged through a USB port. Battery life was thankfully good enough to last most of the flight, but I'm looking to take a much longer flight soon.

As far as I know, no you cant. USB's are only about 5v and wired differently

You can get portable UPS's that have a 3 pin plug to charge the laptop from, but they're aroumnd £100

I assume your laptop doesn't have USB-C ports? You would need that for charging.

Why when driving a car with automatic transmission do so many drivers still rest their hand on a gear stick that won't move until they park or reverse?  :o ::)

I think it's just habit, born from years of driving manuals. I got pretty good at keeping my hand off mine after about 3 years of ownership, been driving the wifes manual Astra for the past 5 weeks, back in mine and I get putting my hand on the gear lever.

HGV's, I've been driving automatics for 17 years, so I don't even go for a gearstick in that, I don't even think I could drive a manual splitter these days.

Mine does have sport and manual mode and around town it holds a gear longer than I want, so I use manual to shift up. Its a 6 speed and shifts into 6th at almost 70, so I put it in top as soon as I can, about 55mph or there abouts.

both hands should be on the wheel no?

i remember when i was on the taxis that an older driver once said to me - don't trust any driver that has both hands on the wheel

thing is - being a taxi driver you tend to lean on the door with your right arm and get quite a one-armed tan in the summer

for anyone that is driving with a manual gear box, try this - but only when going very slowly in a car park away from others

try braking with your left foot

you'll be quite surprised

Do Scousers pronounce "water" same like what I hear Londoners always pronounce it, "wa-er"?

I swear God there is no "T". Is it same?

Sorry, not from UK and I just want know, curious. Please.

Thank you.

Thanks for the explanation, Rob. Truly appreciate that.

But pardon me I was laughing at that your missus, "what's a ouse"? Hahahahahah!!!

Sorry, no offense. I think its funny.  ;D  ;D  "Ouse". Now I know. I have no bloody idea at all about that "drop H".

If your walls are solid then you "chase" the wall,basically cutting the wall so you can run wires/pipes in it & then plaster over them.

A question for Rob. There is a new Sainsburys warehouse in Speke. It's called the Liverpool Fulfillment Centre and has a sign "Liverpool LFC" above the door. (Had to do a double take, lol). Are these places normally called "fulfillment centres", or is this just a Red having a laugh?

A question for Rob. There is a new Sainsburys warehouse in Speke. It's called the Liverpool Fulfillment Centre and has a sign "Liverpool LFC" above the door. (Had to do a double take, lol). Are these places normally called "fulfillment centres", or is this just a Red having a laugh?

Depends on what the place is. If it's storing stock for delivery to the stores, it'd be an RDC (regional distribution centre) but if its for online orders its a fulfillment centre.

Haydock has a sign that says HAYDOCK RDC, so it's expect it to be LIVERPOOL FC. Whoever decided to build the place is a genius 🤣

It could well be its normal name then, don't think its big enough for a regional centre.

Its a red sign with white lettering too, made me laugh :D

Weirdly it says Liverpool LFC though, even though the L apparently means Liverpool anyway.

Sainsburys colours are white and orange, so that deffo sounds like a red had the sign made

Thanks for the explanation, Rob. Truly appreciate that.

But pardon me I was laughing at that your missus, "what's a ouse"? Hahahahahah!!!

Sorry, no offense. I think its funny.  ;D  ;D  "Ouse". Now I know. I have no bloody idea at all about that "drop H".

Thank you.

I said something to my son yesterday and he said "bloody hell Dad I've been alive 12 years and I can't understand what you say sometimes" 🤣

Hye all. With the full of respect, I just wanna ask...

Do Scousers pronounce "water" same like what I hear Londoners always pronounce it, "wa-er"?

I swear God there is no "T". Is it same?

Sorry, not from UK and I just want know, curious. Please.

Thank you.

Owh, and may I know too, this is which accent? The video.

This is quite fun - you might watch it all. I performed a search at YT, and this was the first result ('water' in Scouse at the 1m40 mark)! But then again, YT scans speech in videos these days for auto-generated closed captioning:
