Looking for somewhere to go this summer? Have a look at our Summer What’s on Guide, for lovely places to go and things to do, be sure to mention us when you visit! If you are looking for free tickets then check out our competitions this month as lots of fab tickets are up for grabs, and you have to be in it to win it! Meals always seem to be part of a day out for me, so why not end the day with a visit to Koinonia, Dee Dee Thai or Mint Leaf for a wonderful end to a perfect day. Fun dog shows are a great day out for the whole family, take your treasured pet along and enter, usually they are for charity so a double win!!

By 2020, our customers in Newark will benefit from 15 miles of new sewer and water pipes, helping to protect more than 400 homes from sewer

OUT AND ABOUT
Tech tools for wherever you may roam Whether it’s a long walk or an epic adventure, technology can make travelling much easier. It’s amazing how much can be crammed into a small space: for example the Clippa Lady Mini Multi-Tool Hair Clip (£8) combines a bottle opener, scraper, ruler, small screwdriver 1 DQG D QDLO ÀOH LQ D simple pink hair clip. If you fancy something that’s more practical than pretty, the evergreen Leatherman multi-tool and its many imitators crams an astonishing number of tools into something barely larger than a pair RI SOLHUV DQG ZKLOH \RX FDQ¡W JHQHUDOO\ à \ ZLWK them in your carry-on luggage – many multi-tools have various cutting bits that make them potential weapons – they’re very useful things to pack, or to have on a hike or in a caravan. It pays to shop around, though: the top Leatherman models can be ruinously expensive but they’re often heavily discounted, so for example the £149.95 Wave is currently available from several retailers for nearer £100. Much cheaper options are available too. Wearable technology is becoming a big deal in the great outdoors too. Apple’s Series 3 Apple Watch has built-in GPS and is available with its own 4G data connection, albeit only on EE, which enables you to track your route and get directions without having to take your phone out or even bring it with you. And there are now tons of focused GPS watches for sports and for hiking, such as TomTom’s Adventurer GPS watch (£199) RU LI \RX¡UH IHHOLQJ UHDOO\ à XVK *DUPLQ¡V )HQL[ 5 Multisports (£439). Where Apple’s device is a smartwatch that can do GPS, rival devices were designed with GPS as their main priority and 6
are often better bets for serious sports people. TomTom and Garmin are the big names in this market but there are plenty of cheaper options IURP OHVV HVWDEOLVKHG ÀUPV WRR If you’ll be travelling for a while and think your phone battery won’t last, there are several options for topping up its charge. Some phones enable you to swap the batteries (although the most expensive phones, such as iPhones and WKH ODWHVW $QGURLG à DJVKLSV GRQ¡W EXW PRVW ELJ name devices can accept power 3 pack cases that combine a protective case and extra battery in one item. That means much more life between charges, but it does add quite a lot of bulk and weight. Expect to pay around £60 for an established brand such as Mophie’s Juice Pack for the iPhone, and steer clear of noname products on eBay – dodgy EDWWHULHV FDQ JR RQ ÀUH ZLWK KRUULÀF FRQVHTXHQFHV VR LW¡V ZLVH to stick to recognised brands from reputable sellers. Another option is a portable charger. Solar ones aren’t much cop in the UK except on the sunniest days, but pre-charged devices such as Aukey’s excellent Power Bank can be used to charge tablets, phones, handheld games consoles and other small items such as Kindles. Again, they’re often discounted and £20 is the sweet spot for a decent one. You can expect to get more than four full charges for a smartphone or one and a half for a big tablet. 1. multi-tool hair clip 2. Leatherman Wave multitool 3. Mophie Juice Pack battery case 4.

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES
LEO
March 21st - April 20th
24th - August 23rd
Things are changing on the home front on the 13th, due to a Solar Eclipse. You won't be fond of many of these transformations. It may be necessary to relocate for work. A group collaboration will come to a rapid conclusion on the 27th. That's when a Lunar Eclipse makes you free to pursue a solo project. You're ready for success on your own terms.
On the 13th, the Solar Eclipse will bring an embarrassing secret to light. A jealous colleague will try making trouble for you. If you've been caught posting a tasteless remark or bending the rules, issue an immediate and sincere apology. The Lunar Eclipse on the 27th brings an end to a partnership that has run its course. Going solo will be scary but stimulating.
TAURUS
VIRGO
April 21st - May 21st
August 24th - Sept 23rd
The Solar Eclipse on the 13th makes it difficult to operate as part of a team. Although you have good ideas, louder members of the group will discount your suggestions. On the 27th, the Lunar Eclipse marks a career high point. Being promoted to another department will be a huge feather in your cap. Get ready for your close up.
You'll feel like a duck out of water on the 13th. That's when a Solar Eclipse will put you in a group that utterly confounds you. Not only will you disagree with virtually all their beliefs, but you'll also find their attitudes offensive. On the 27th, a Lunar Eclipse will bring an end to a health regime or work assignment. It will feel strange leaving this familiar routine behind.
SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st A powerful physical attraction will create financial strain on the 13th. The Solar Eclipse will make you restless. Resist the temptation to buy someone's affection. It's also important to stay true to your moral code. The Lunar Eclipse on the 27th will cause someone to render their final decision. Once you get the news, you'll be able to move forward with a plan of action.
CAPRICORN December 22nd - Jan 20th On the 13th, a Solar Eclipse will prompt you to pay more attention to a close relationship. Expecting your best friend, romantic partner or someone you work with to follow orders will create deep resentment. Be more attentive. Stop insisting on taking the lead. A source of income will come to an end on the 27th, due to a Lunar Eclipse.
GEMINI
LIBRA
AQUARIUS
May 22nd - June 21st
September 24th - Oct 23rd
January 21st - Feb 19th
Your financial security will be undermined on the 13th, due to a jarring Solar Eclipse. It may be necessary to pay a legal fee, make an alimony payment or buy out a business partner. You'll be a little alarmed by your resulting bank balance, but try to stay calm. The Lunar Eclipse on the 27th may find you returning from an extended trip.
A professional offer on the 13th is not as rosy as it appears. The Solar Eclipse will force you to choose between having a rewarding public and professional life. If you take this job, you'll have little opportunity to spend time with friends and family. The Lunar Eclipse on the 27th marks a turning point in a romantic relationship or creative project.
A health regime will get off to a rocky start, due to a stressful Solar Eclipse on the 13th. A new medication could make you feel queasy. An exercise programme could result in a sprain or strain. The Lunar Eclipse on the 27th puts you in the spotlight. Breaking off a relationship will put you in line for a much better arrangement.
CANCER

PISCES
June 22nd - July 23rd

Feb 20th - March 20th
Getting a personal project off the ground will be difficult on the 13th. That's when a Solar Eclipse puts strain on your personal life. Your best friend, romantic partner or even a professional contact does not want to change the status quo. You're eager to explore new territory. On the 27th, the Lunar Eclipse concludes a financial struggle.
The Solar Eclipse on the 13th will make you feel like you're out of your depth. If you're asked to do work that is beyond the scope of your knowledge, ask for help. Admitting your ignorance and deferring to those with more experience will earn people's respect. On the 27th, a Lunar Eclipse brings unexpected closure to a family problem. You'll breathe a sigh of relief.
News of an engagement, marriage or pregnancy will come as a shock on the 13th. That's when a Solar Eclipse turns your world upside down. Your whole life is going to change. This change will make you resentful. In some ways, you'll feel like you've lost your best friend. The Lunar Eclipse on the 27th brings an end to a period of deception.

Testimonial The contract manager called me five minutes after I called their office and a representative was with me within the hour and left me with a quote for full removal. This was carried out one week later. Two operatives arrived on time, dismantled and removed my garage and they left with no mess and cleaned up really well. The two operatives were very professional and polite and were a credit to the company

How to Save Money on Your Summer Holiday This Year feeding a family. If you’re travelling with a ‘no frills’ airline, taking hand luggage only can also reduce your costs.
The cost of travelling abroad has increased over the last year or so, mainly due to a fall in the value of sterling, but there are still ways you can save money on your summer holiday. You may secure a better exchange rate by visiting nonEuro countries such as Croatia or Poland, but what else can you do to reduce your costs without taking away the joy of a well-earned break?

Heckington Show 2018
Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th July The delightfully arrival of summer early in May has been a joy for most. We’ve got outside, lost a few pounds, found our summer wardrobes and allowed thoughts to turn early to Wimbledon, strawberries and cream, barbeques, days at the beach and for many, to thoughts of Heckington Show. For Lincolnshire folk, it’s a source of pride to have created a weekend show where visitors can connect with their rural roots, discover the sounds, sights and taste of an English summer and still chance upon joyful corners of the showground to try or perhaps buy something memorable. The formula is quite well understood – 2018’s show will be the 151st – but there’s also more than a little alchemy taking place to make Heckington so special and to attract growing visitor
numbers. At the heart of this are the people who make it happen – local people, most with a day job but all motivated to put on a great event because they want to. They bring with them their own skills and talents – as you might expect – but commonly they also draw on help from their partners, children and friends (and even their children’s friends) all of which is also freely given to make the weekend the success it has become. It may seem hard to believe but for many it’s not the ring, but the vast grounds that draw them to visit. They are embroidered with trade stands, displays, activities, action, food to eat or take home and enthusiasts sharing passions – many with strong Lincolnshire roots. There will be special activities marking the 100th anniversary of the end
of World War One which include a working replica Tank in our heritage zone. More peaceful pursuits are also available – look out for spinners and weavers, steam sawmilling, cookery demos, a traditional horticulture marquee to name a few. There are also animals; many, varied and mostly peaceful, ranging from Poultry and Rabbits to Ferrets, Owls, Dogs, Sheep, Cattle and those iconic Shire Horses. Join us this year on 28th and 29th July and bring friends and family of all ages. You can buy tickets on arrival or in advance and there’s still time to take part – look on our web site www.heckingtonshow.org.uk where you will find all the information and latest news for this year’s show.

Most are free and tickets can be booked using the app. If you can bear to brave the crowds, shopping malls often have free family activities on over the summer, including kids’ entertainers and competitions. Gone are the days when libraries were silent places reserved for studying. Now they regularly play host to all manner of family-friendly events, including treasure hunts and storytelling. Many events are free, while others incur a small charge. Sign up to your local library’s social media pages or newsletter WR EH WKH ÀUVW WR KHDU ZKDW¡V coming up. Cut-price shows Several of the larger cinema chains offer cut-price kids clubs. Vue and Odeon’s kids clubs, for example, are 18

How Safe is Your Suntan? greatly increased risk of skin cancer later in life.
Magazines may often describe people as looking ‘healthy and tanned’, but as the NHS baldly states, “There’s no safe or healthy way to get a tan.” THE PROBLEM WITH SUNTANS However light it is, however slowly you developed it, and whether you got it in your back garden, the Mediterranean or a sunbed, a tan proves your skin has received too much radiation. Around 5% of the UV (ultraviolet) radiation from sunlight is UVB, responsible for sunburn. The other 95% is UVA, responsible for tanning, aging and wrinkling the skin. UVA rays penetrate to the lower epidermis, stimulating melanin production. This brown pigment, which provides your tan, is the skin’s defence mechanism. Your skin has good reason to go into defence mode. While symptoms of skin damage can take 20 years to appear, prolonged UV exposure increases your risk of skin cancer, including its most serious form, malignant melanoma. People frequently exposed to UV rays before 25 years old or who suffered sunburn in childhood have a

THE PROBLEM WITH SUNBEDS Sunbeds, sunlamps and tanning booths emit the same harmful UV radiation as the sun, but many give out greater UV doses than the midday tropical sun. You’re also relying on manufacturers and operators to ensure you get a ‘safe’ dose. 7KH 6FLHQWLÀF &RPPLWWHH RQ &RQVXPHU 3URGXFWV VWDWHV the ultraviolet radiation from sunbeds shouldn’t exceed 11 standard erythema doses per hour.

Avoid the sun when it’s strongest (11am -3pm). Never DOORZ \RXUVHOI WR EXUQ &RYHU your skin, wear a hat and wear sunglasses with adequate UVA and UVB protection. UV can damage eyes too, causing conjunctivitis, irritation or even cataracts.
Your risk depends on your skin type, the frequency and length of your sunbed sessions and your age. In the UK, it’s illegal for under-18s to use sunbeds. A review by the International $JHQF\ IRU 5HVHDUFK RQ &DQFHU IRXQG WKDW ÀUVW H[SRVXUH WR sunbeds before 35 years old increases melanoma risk by 75%.
Use sunscreen that’s in date, with at least four-star UVA protection and an SPF of at least 15 (30 or higher if you’re fair-skinned or using it on children).
STAY SAFE The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends you shouldn’t use UV tanning equipment if you have: • fair, sensitive skin that burns easily or tans poorly • badly sun-damaged skin or a history of sunburn, particularly in childhood • many moles, or many freckles

Life Begins Meditation: marvellous medicine or new age fad?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always say I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slept since 1993,â&#x20AC;? declared 67-yearold actor Sherrie Hewson on the reality TV programme, 100 Years Younger in 21 Days, which aired earlier this year. Sherrie was taking part in an experiment conducted for ITV television by Professor Ian Philp, an expert who advises the World Health Organisation on age-related health matters. When her sleep patterns were DQDO\VHG WKH GDWD FRQĂ&#x20AC;UPHG that she woke at regular intervals throughout the night. Although Sherrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in the TV show involved weeks of healthy eating and exercise, her sleep pattern changed very little during the course of the experiment. She was only able WR HQMR\ KHU Ă&#x20AC;UVW JRRG QLJKW¡V VOHHS DIWHU KHU Ă&#x20AC;UVW VXFFHVVIXO attempt at meditation. Sherrie isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone. Twenty two per cent of Britons experience interrupted sleep, often caused by anxiety or depression. In the short term this can negatively affect mood and memory and in the long term it can lead to more serious health problems. )LJKW RU Ă LJKW So, can meditation help older 32
people to beat stress? Meditation encourages people to take charge of their own emotions, and over time this has been shown to result in permanent changes to neural pathways in the brain. When the University of Pittsburgh in America carried out research into the effects of meditation, MRI scans revealed that the amygdala â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ÂśĂ&#x20AC;JKW RU Ă LJKW¡ FHQWUH OLQNHG WR fear and emotion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; appeared to shrink over time, while the prefrontal cortex (associated with concentration, awareness and decision-making) became thicker. Improving concentration Meditation aids concentration by encouraging you to turn off unwanted or distracting thoughts. In an observation exercise for meditators and non-meditators designed by Italian neuroscientist Giuseppe Pagnoni, the meditators VLJQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQWO\ RXWSHUIRUPHG in the test results. You can learn to control your thoughts during meditation by taking action when your mind starts to wander. The technique involves simply acknowledging the distraction and turning back to your main focus as soon as possible. Taming your emotions In a recent study published in the journal Consciousness and Cognition, meditators and non-
meditators were asked to think about an experience that made them angry. While meditators were almost unaffected when they focused on the experience, non-meditatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; found their breathing, heart rate and blood pressure increased. However, after just 20 minutes of meditation the non-meditators had a much calmer response to the same thoughts. Reducing stress, inducing sleep In the programme 100 Years Younger in 21 days, Professor Philp suggests that meditation can extend life expectancy by promoting better sleep. A 2015 study of forty nine middle-aged and older adults who had GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW\ VOHHSLQJ UHYHDOHG WKDW mindfulness meditation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which encourages subjects to beat stress by focusing on momentby-moment experiences, thoughts and emotions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was found to be particularly effective. Like many older adults, Sherrie Hewson believed that meditation wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for her, but once she understood its effects, she experienced something of a revelation. The practice of meditation wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suit everyone, but as medical science discovers more and PRUH SRWHQWLDO KHDOWK EHQHĂ&#x20AC;WV anyone who experiences stress, sleeplessness or negative emotions on a regular basis would be well advised to give it a try.

Gardening Essential Scent
by Pippa Greenwood Unusually low temperatures can also cause scent levels to drop. So bear this in mind when choosing where to put your perfumed plants.
No matter how good your garden may look, without scent it is missing a vital ingredient â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to VDFULĂ&#x20AC;FH FRORXU DQG WH[WXUH when using perfumed plants, as PDQ\ KHDYLO\ VFHQWHG Ă RZHUV are also really good-looking. Perfume plays a role in plant evolution and is often used to DWWUDFW DWWHQWLRQ WR WKH Ă RZHU and thus entice a suitable pollinator. The insect enjoys the Ă RZHU¡V QHFWDU DQG SROOLQDWHV LW in the process, increasing the chances of it producing a new generation. Many plants produce an alluring perfume during the evening or night-time, and at this time of day moths can be useful pollinators, especially during the summer months. So although a plant like the sweetly-perfumed nightscented stock may not have Ă DPER\DQW Ă RZHUV LW ZLOO EH successfully pollinated. Weather conditions can alter the level of perfume that reaches us, and in a wind-swept spot the perfume can literally be blown away. 38
Smaller or more subtly-scented plants, such as some of the polyanthus or the miniature iris, should be planted in raised areas or in pots â&#x20AC;&#x201C; otherwise their perfume can easily pass you by! A small pergola makes a great home for perfumed climbers, and what could be lovelier than to wander from one part of the garden to another via a tunnel of perfume? Perfumed roses VXFK DV WKH UHSHDW Ă RZHULQJ climbers â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ena Harknessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (red) or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;New Dawnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (pale, dusky pink) or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Zephirine Drouhinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; EULJKWHVW SLQN KDYH Ă H[LEOH stems and are ideal.

History

By Catherine Rose
Light Drawing - The Invention of Photography around eight hours to develop on a pewter plate coated with bitumen of Judea, which hardens when exposed to light.
Nowadays, cameras in smart phones are so advanced that most of us carry around the means to record our lives in our pocket. But how did photography come out of the darkroom? Before a way to permanently capture an image was invented, the forerunner to photography was the camera obscura, Latin for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dark roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Discovered in 1600 (or probably earlier), an upside down, back-to-front image of the outside world can be projected onto a wall in a darkened room through a pinhole aperture. During the Renaissance, it was found that the effect could be replicated using a box â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Ă&#x20AC;UVW ÂśSLQKROH FDPHUD¡ ² ZLWK PLUURUV XVHG WR UHĂ HFW WKH image so that it was the right way round. 7KH Ă&#x20AC;UVW SK\VLFDO SKRWRJUDSK using a camera obscura, was taken in 1825 by Frenchman Joseph NicĂŠphore NiĂŠpce. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;View from a Window at Le Grasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is very grainy and took 40
But it was in 1839 that photography was truly born with Louis Daguerreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invention of the daguerreotype process, which used a glass plate coated with light-reactive silver iodide. The image was developed by mercury YDSRXU DQG ODWHU Ă&#x20AC;[HG RQWR WKH plate with a hot salt solution. Photography â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Greek for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;drawing with lightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was unveiled to the world that same year and the daguerreotype EHFDPH WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW FRPPHUFLDOO\ viable process. At around the same time in England, Henry Fox Talbot was inventing the calotype process (Greek for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;beautiful pictureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;). Unlike the daguerreotype, which formed a single image on a glass plate, one calotype negative could be used to produce unlimited prints. Talbotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;silver halideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concept ZDV WKH IRXQGDWLRQ IRU ZHW Ă&#x20AC;OP technology that has endured to the present day. In 1851, the wet collodian process was introduced by Frederick Archer, using glass negatives printed onto albumen paper. This process could capture sharp images faster than before, with the advantage that one light-sensitised plate
FRXOG Ă&#x20AC;W XS WR HLJKW SULQWV It soon became the universal method for producing cartede-visites (photographic calling cards), tintypes (small inexpensive portraits printed onto thin sheets of black enamelled iron) and ambrotypes (like daguerreotypes in that they were printed onto glass). 1871 saw the beginning of modern photography with the dry plate, coated with silver salts suspended in gelatin rather than collodian solution. Sixty times more sensitive, it meant that handheld cameras could be used and, in 1888, George Eastman made the Ă&#x20AC;UVW FRPPHUFLDO FDPHUD ² WKH Kodak. In 1907 the Lumiere brothers invented an Autochrome colour process, which used panchromatic emulsion. Although not a commercial success, some of the images are stunning, such as the 1913 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Portraits of Christinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Mervyn Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Gorman (The Royal Photographic Society) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a series of colour photos RI D \RXQJ JLUO LGHQWLĂ&#x20AC;HG only recently as 16-year-old Christina Bevan. The invention of Kodachrome FRORXU Ă&#x20AC;OP LQ PHDQW WKDW colour photographs were truly on their way. However, black and white photographs, with an artistic and often edgy interpretation of their subject, have remained popular even in the new era of digital photography.

Still Not Sure if I’d Trust It
know I had good reason to change lanes and not ÀJKW PH WXUQLQJ WKH ZKHHO
Recently I rented a car equipped with a lanedeparture warning system (LDWS).
But I recall an incident that happened a few years ago when a lorry in front of me shed its load on the carriageway, which I avoided by a sharp turn of the wheel – but I didn’t have time to indicate!
There are three types of LDWS, each with varying degrees of alert and control. From a simple audible warning system, through to a system that advises the driver to take-action to correct the departure, to taking full control of the steering – and the car I’d rented had this latter system. On a dual-carriageway, the steering fought my action to move into an empty lane unless I put the appropriate indicator on. I assume the LDWS worked in concert with a Collision Avoidance System (CAS), checking the distance to the car in front and, should I close up to perform an overtake, provided I put the indicator on, it would
You would think that would be all well and good.
Shed loads don’t fall off vehicles and keep moving – they come to a stop very fast and I doubt a CAS would have time to react and free up the LDWS control from the steering, thus allowing me to turn the wheel to avoid the danger. Maybe it can? Maybe it can’t? On balance I’d prefer not trusting an LDWS, but simply keep my eyes peeled and see a hazard for myself, rather than putting my faith in some form of auto-pilot.

Should you buy an automatic car? Pros and cons explained by James Baggot
British motorists traditionally favoured manual gearboxes, but automatics are increasingly popular. Tom Wiltshire explains everything you need to know. Though early automatic gearboxes tended to dent performance, fuel economy and driving pleasure, times have moved on, and the modern automatic can sometimes be a better choice than the manual gearbox. Some performance automatics can actually beat the manuals off the line, while the cashconscious may enjoy lower CO2 emissions and higher fuel economy. A good automatic transmission also makes for a relaxing drive, giving your left leg a rest and letting the car do the work. Always test drive a car, however, as there are still awful automatic gearboxes out there. Automatics tend to be more expensive to buy, and much more expensive to repair if they go wrong. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our guide to the different types of automatic gearbox available today. Torque converter/traditional auto 7KRXJK QRZ PXFK UHĂ&#x20AC;QHG DQG improved, these automatics have been available since the V DQG XVH D Ă XLG Ă&#x20AC;OOHG coupling in place of a traditional clutch.

tend to offer very smooth shifts, making for a comfortable ride. They can be slow to pick up, though. However, modern units â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such DV WKH =) ÂśER[ Ă&#x20AC;WWHG WR GR]HQV of high performance cars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; offer no discernible penalty to performance or economy. Dual-clutch gearbox The dual-clutch gearbox uses a pair of robotised clutches working together to provide lightning-fast shifts, making them ideal for sports cars. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no real penalty in performance or economy, but at ORZ VSHHGV LQ VWRS VWDUW WUDIĂ&#x20AC;F dual-clutch boxes can be jerky and unpleasant. Early units can be unreliable and costly to repair. Manufacturers have different names for them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Volkswagen group use DSG, Porsche PDK, Renault EDC, Hyundai and Kia DCT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but fundamentally they all work the same way. CVT Standing for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;continuously variable transmissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, CVTs do not have standard ÂśJHDUV¡ ,QVWHDG DQ LQĂ&#x20AC;QLWHO\ changeable single ratio theoretically ensures correct gearing for maximum power or economy, depending on conditions. Around since the 1950s, the CVT â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;box can be incredibly economical when driven
carefully. However, they can provide a somewhat disconnected feel to the car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and attempts at rapid acceleration are usually met by spiralling engine revs and lots of noise. Their smoothness and variable nature makes them ideal in a hybrid car. Automated manual transmission Cheap, easy to install and lightweight, these gearboxes leave existing clutch and gearbox operations in place, but simply robotise the action. Automated manuals are often GHVSLVHG FDQ EH KRUULĂ&#x20AC;FDOO\ jerky, and dawdle under hard acceleration. In fact, automated manual transmissions have ruined a fair few cars, so are probably best avoided. Electric vehicle Electric cars donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t technically have a transmission, but are worth looking at if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering an automatic car. They act almost identically in most conditions, with two pedals and no gears to shift, but also have a totally smooth DQG VLOHQW SRZHUWUDLQ DQG ]HUR tailpipe emissions.

However, if your circumstances suit, you could be a convert to the electric lifestyle.
