I believe you have to wear it.

Assume that's not so easy with a phone/attachment

Ouch, that's 200 quid ! - and I'd plug it into my PC

I'll look to see if Polar do anything similar

I've been told I should have a Fitbit as a Christmas present.
Seems to be the "Hoover" of that market place
Need to find out more. Maybe apps can do the lot - if I buy a phone

Wasn't Fitbit a magazine from the 70's ? 

The beauty of being a manual worker. Get all the necessary excercise without having to track anything or wear any gadgets.

I used to cycle to work when I worked at Ford Woolwich Plant and lived in Dartford.

Only a young,an at the time so kept no track of British summer time or anything like that.

Used to get to work in cycle gear all sweaty cause it's a fair distance, walk into empty office put bags down go to works shower room have a shower and walk back into the office changed for office work about 10 minutes before everyone else started rolling in.

Until that morning I didn't change my clock and first thought "they've all come in early to catch me out!" The paranoia of youth!

Looking back you get away with blue murder when you're young. They sent me to Dagenham for a spell. Day one arrived at Ford ferry south of Thames just in time to wave it off. Stood there with my bicycle watching last ferry cart last load of Ford workers to Dagenham. No mobile in them days. Find a public phone box, ring new boss, get a stuffing and threats of a size 11 up my jacksie (Ford was a very tough all male environment). Was about lunch time when I finally found my way round the long way.

Next day? Only missed the ferry a second time!

How I kept that job I'll never know.

Now as a mature competent human being, I always cut the young slack in these situations, and often tell them that story. It works better to be human and have understanding of e human lifecycle, than threatening a kick with a size 11 for every misdemeanour.

In those days at Woolwich, just two women on the whole plant of 500 or so, and they were the only two female office staff. These days the way they were treat would be grounds for huge compensation. I'm not a women's libber, hate most feminists as they have gone too far the oth r way and are generally men haters. But the way women were treated in the workplace at that time was shocking!

on the other hand when a little later as a despatch rider one Christmas I delivered to an all female staffed factory and I feared for my life. I was near enough raped, but not quite. The boot was on the other foot. I know another guy that in that situation was stripped and actually masturbated very roughly!
