UKLoc8tor asked:
Terry Pratchett and Loc8tor devices are 2 of my favourite local geniuses from the UK. Loc8tor creates locating devices that can track tags up to 183 metres / 600 ft through doors and walls…and well Sir Terry Pratchett writes rockin books. It was heartwarming to watch Terry Pratchett talk candidly and eloquently about his affliction… I love his books. He appeared with a Loc8tor (and joked about buying a 2nd Loc8tor to find his Loc8tor)…It was good to know the product really helps.
