Any road or driving tips that one might encounter taking a driving test in Enfield later this week? I booked it in May as it was the soonest available date, but bad cold prevented me from doing a recce and practice runs this week.
For unexpected reasons, my job hinges on me passing this test, so any advice would be appreciated.

When they pull you up at the side of the road and say "move on when you're ready" take a deep breath or 3 and be ready, chill for a bit then move on when you're actually ready. Plus, mirrors, mirrors, mirrors.

A good one is every time the examiner says anything make an effort to check your rear view mirror so that he or she sees you do it. They'll be looking at you when they say something so they'll see you doing your best observing. Do this in addition to all your mirror, signal, manoeuvre stuff.
One thing I did on my test was staying in gear with my foot on the clutch when I was at a junction. There was a stream of traffic and I had nowhere to go. The adrenalin was surging and my left foot started to shake with the clutch depressed. My examiner said to come out of gear and relax my leg as she could see I was struggling. It worked and I passed. -

Don't go the wrong way down a one way street. That didn't do me any favours on my first test.

drive like a learner, don't be overly confident, obviously check all mirrors so they see you doing it. Any time you set off check all the mirrors including if get you to do an emergency stop. Remember a manouver isn't done until you stop so if you screw up the parking slightly you can reverse and realign, you'll just get a minor rather than a major.

Don't crash into any Lambos.

Always pair your mirrors, if you look in one you look in them all. They love that.

Put some smooth jazz on the car stereo to set the mood

Share it with the other, then save as from the other account?

Share it with the other
should have said, not an option, employer account and personal

You're going to have to download it/save it to your computer I'd guess. Then upload it to your other account. Some formatting might not follow but it's probably better than copy pasting the whole thing

I think about this far more often than I should. I can't even look at a one way sign normally anymore.

Share a new sheet from personal to employer.
Open old sheet logged in as employer.
Copy each tab to 'Existing spreadsheet', in that dialogue pick from 'Shared with me' sheets.
Exfiltrate.

Bit late, but no. They are amazing. If the grandparents don't have one yet, get one.
We bought these ones:
UCMDA 10.1 Inch WiFi Digital Photo Frame, Built-In 32GB Smart Cloud Digital Picture Frames with 1280x800 IPS Touch Screen, Auto-Rotate
https://amzn.eu/d/2EYdRN0My MiL didn't use it for ages, possibly because of electricity, possibly because MiL. But after pestering (and possibly my parents influence) she uses it. My folks used it from the get go and even take it on holiday because they love their grandchildren.

Is there a forum-approved drop-bar brake lever and compatible rim-brake caliber that'll look good on an 80s Orbea frame with downtube shifting? Silver, preferably?

I have two arriving tmrw...

Tektro RL lever + a caliper that matches the rest of the groupset.

Haha "groupset" implies there is any consistency in the parts on this bike! I'm only fussed by the brakes as the current ones do naff-all and I carry my daughter on the bike and so would ideally like to be able to stop inside 10 meters!.

Any modern brakes will do the job then. I think silver 5600 are quite a solid choice as they are silver and not too angular, and a silver, silver rather than a darker silver.
That said maybe someone else will be able to comment on which modern calipers have the best clearance. Just in case that's the limiting factor in having you 25mm tyres.

Been stuck in my head all morning since seeing your post.
If your printer has Ethernet (cheap ones don't), also plug it into the switch.
If it doesn't, try plugging it via USB into the router. Your router may have some config which e.g. adds a proper print queue.
Failing that, via USB into the desktop. Other machines should be able to see the printer and may even be able to wake the desktop. May need some fiddling with BIOS/USB settings.
There is probably a cheap USB-Ethernet adaptor for this too.
