    Before The Munsters

    Having watched a couple of episodes I also noted one of the other cops became Grandpa in The Munsters , and the actor who played Bosley in Charlie’s Angels playing a bit part in a guest appearance. I must have been about four when it came out .

    Why do we have 240 volt electrics in our homes

    In theory , if the phases are perfectly balanced , which the usually are not , the sum current in neutral should be zero . Of course in single phase it provides the return path . I used to hate doing star/delta conversion .

    Left-foot braking

    My mistake ; happy to concede when I’m wrong , which does happen sometimes! I meant to say , in Europe the rule is to give way to traffic joining the roundabout - so still give way to traffic from your right . My bad . I’ve driven there many times but wrote it down wrong .

    No - it is now , but not for a car registered in 1964 My car also had white front indicators and red rear ones . Regulations and requirements changed down the years

    Left-foot braking

    I’ve driven both LHD and RHD vehicles both here and abroad ; I drove my LHD Ponton here and abroad for close to 20 years , and also in Holland/Germany , and have driven both LHD/RHD vehicles on the continent. Id say that driving on the other side of the road , roundabouts which go then’wrong...

    Left-foot braking

    No one would constantly apply the brakes whilst driving ; brake application would be no more than otherwise ; just made by the left foot .

    Left-foot braking

    Not trying to be funny or picky , but ‘ an auto RHD manual E220 ? Eh ? I accept you had zero problems. Same with me driving in numerous European LHD countries. I’d contend that LHD/RHD , on opposite sides of roads is a bigger adjustment than which foot you use to brake, yet we all manage ...

    Left-foot braking

    Truly , not about speed , or track driving ; entirely relevant to road driving , and breaking the IAM ( Institute if Advanced Motorists ) BGOL ( brake/gear overlap ) dogma ; which recent drives at Tulliallan have shown Police advanced instruction has also left behind .

    Left-foot braking

    Yes , and no . There is movement- true . But there is less confusion . Then , as I explained in earlier posts , there can be advantages in using both at once , or in smoothly transitioning from one to the other . I often use a little acceleration during the braking phase to bring in the part...

    Left-foot braking

    Before I’m out altogether, the basic objection seems to be that it’s unnatural ; contrary to learned experience ? Yet , how many of the naysayers have learned to drive in the UK , yet somehow manage to drive abroad in LHD vehicles , on ‘wrong side of the road’ ? When switching over , I find it...
