I’ve also had medical insurance for many years but it was only last year I realised it would cover prescription glasses and sunglasses every 2yrs up to £800 Doh!!
So as well as a new pair of photochromics, I’ve also got a pair of prescription varifocal Polaroid sunglasses - great for driving.

I can't say I do ole chap. I've Googled it, and the only info I'm finding is something used in reliability engineering.

Yes You are quite correct Paul. It is the typical distribution of faults over time with a new item of technology. Maybe Roger was having a senior moment?

Wrong context (and you can ignore Bob ). It's all to do with psychology and change management. When you start something new, there is an initial 'high' (which you're experiencing now)and corresponds to the top LH corner of the bath tub.
But then usually reality, angst, aggro ...whatever kicks in and morale takes a dip...sliding down the LH slope of the bathtub.
And you then bump along the bottom until it all starts to make sense, you ride up the RH curve of the bathtub and back to the top.
As an aside Change Management is all about minimising how deep that LH curve is and minimising how long the ride along the bottom takes to reach the start of the RH curve.

That looks like a VW having passed its emission tests

Good luck Paul and Illegitimi non carborundum.
