Without wanting to sound crass or upset you mate, they look very impressive! Looks like a carbon outer over possibly aluminium core? Have you been waiting long for them?
No ally, doesn't ned it and would make it far too bulky. My stump goes right to the end where the valve is. They are quite impressive! I've only been waiting since the announcement was made that the NHS would start funding them I guess, which was last Christmas. I would have liked them before then, but that just wasn't an option.

Are you going to have a lot of help adjusting to them? Sorry for the questions mate but i am a curious soul!!
I never mind questions good sir! I can’t adjust them myself, they are NHS property as far as I know. I’m only down the road from my rehabilitation and I have a good relationship with my prosthetist so I can usually get an appointment quite quickly if I need it.

Nice legs there Alex, well done chap I presume once they're tested out you'll be able to do a bit of the old left foot braking.....
Nah, I don’t like to see prosthetics used for driving, because you don’t have any proprioception you can’t actually tell if your foot is on the pedal correctly. Super dangerous! Some people do it and feel perfectly safe, but I personally wouldn’t.
