The "Official" keys are probably stronger. The toilets all have proper locks inside and space to do what you need, but sadly able bodied people are buying these keys when they are designed for people with disabilities because they are usually kept clean and have space for a parent and child or two.

I know this does not answer your question, but for your information I am a UK Blue Badge Holder and purchased my Radar key "Officially" only later to find that I could have bought it from Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=radar+key&sprefix=radar+key%2Caps%2C128&crid=3IIAXRJWDJP8P for half the price, no questions asked. It will be interesting to hear the answer to your question.

What does the panel think of this ?

The "official" height of a vehicle should be what the "Book" says unladen with the correct tyre pressures. Surely the question has to be how much does the height drop once you fill the boot with junk and load the wife/girlfriend, two kids, the dog and the mother In-law on board, I would have thought that this could be as much as 5cm / 2" on a large car .

Looking at the weather forecast for both Antwerp & Rouen I think Brittany Ferries made the correct decision not to do the Festive Cruises this year (2017) Hopefully next year !!

Are Brittany Ferries Insured for the losses and expenses due to 3rd Party Strikes or do they just take the "hit" themselves and it comes off the bottom line. ?

Just had another thought. Anyone know how much a car/SUV's height can drop when fully laden, I would guess at least an inch in old money.

I have purchased 2 of these from Amazon, 64 Gb of Internal Memory AND built-in SD Card Reader, plugs in computer and iP*d. Description from Amazon iPhone iPad memory stick USB 3.0 Flash Drive 64GB SD Card Reader with Extended Lightning Connector, RAVPower 2 in 1 External Storage Expansion for iOS iPod Mac Windows PC See https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M36GH3V/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It basically allows you to put up to 64Gb of Video, Images or Music onto this gadget without clogging up your iP*d and read and display photographs from the SD Card in your camera. It is brilliant. Highly recommended.

Hi Ken For anything photography related I use the Talk Photography Forum at https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/ and it is full of very helpful people. As for kit I only use Canon Kit but if you checkout the above someone may have used Samyang Lenses. We (Mrs W. H) and I upgraded our 5D3's to 5D4's during the summer but use 7D2's for wildlife. Remember that the 5D3 is a full frame camera. Good luck.

Hi Ken If you check eBay you will see what 2nd user Canon EOS 7D Mk 1's are selling for and have to ask yourself a question ? See https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR7.TRC1.A0.H0.Xeos+7d.TRS0&_nkw=eos+7d&_sacat=0 Good luck with the right decision.

I'm the wrong side of 67 and have been around long enough to know that Experts can't agree, The Men in suits are only after your money and the Politicians (All flavours) tell lies. I have just purchased a 5 month old Ford Edge Sport Auto which is powered by a twin turbo 2.0l diesel engine, the emissions are low, the MPG is reasonable and next years Road Fund Licence is low and it has an 18,000 mile service period. I think it is the older diesels (4 years +) and those doing "short" runs that are causing these worries.

You may be right, but, I cannot see the day when Agricultural Vehicles, Heavy Goods Vehicles & Light Goods Vehicles are being powered by petrol engines, to my mind the humble motor car/bike represents a very small source of pollution when you add aircraft and shipping into the above mix. Surely you sort the biggest polluters out first then move on to the next.

No problem. I don't think it is the wheelchair users themselves trying to get to the front, it the "Politically Correct", "Jobsworths" & "Do Gooders" that want them out the way together to make life easier for "THEM".

That could be you one day. Paul W. H (Blue Badge Holder)

Lets hope they can sort out the other issue of "Postage & Packing" charges or will these increase to cover the Credit Card "Loss".
