Do they have any idea what has caused this? Hopefully they'll be able to investigate and find that it's just a temporary problem (fingers crossed). Try and stay positive...

Tbh it's been over m the cards for a while. I have kidney disease and I've been seeing consultants for years about my declining kidney function but nobody knows what is causing it.
 
More car dealer hilariousness..

Offered on a car just over a week ago, £1000 under list. Got politely told to do one and the price is set in stone....

Just seen they've dropped the list price by £1000.

Is the entire used car industry dense? Why not just take the sale instead of the high chance of it sitting on a forecourt rotting whilst belligerently not lowering the price....and then lowering it anyway...?

There are certain cars that clearly aren't shifting at the prices they are asking, as you can see how long they've been for sale and the price reductions etc through certain reg check websites. Surely if a car hasn't sold in 6+ months, it's priced too high..!

Must be a hangover from when they had it too good/COVID/the chip shortage etc. The market seems very odd now, and almost like they don't want to sell the cars they have.

Make a new offer £500 below their new list price.

Quite tempted.

I can only assume many places paid too much for their stock, or that they live in the hope of another black swan type event that pushes demand for used cars up massively again....

..no doubt completely ruling out the possibility of a black swan event that causes prices and demand to plummet...

Well, TIL how watch straps work I guess. Was cleaning my fabric strap and drying it, I fiddled with the little bolt that attaches the end piece. The other end promptly pinged off under the cooker.

Cue me crawling around with a magnet for 10 minutes as I'm on holiday from Monday and need my watch!

 
It's remarkable how much a difference scrubbing your blood toxins makes. I had my first dialysis yesterday and while have a line (effectively a catheter that goes directly into a large vein) inserted in wasn't particularly pleasant it was well worth it in the end.

Worst thing now is having to put up with hospital cuisine.
 
So in Indonesia health and safety isn't that important.
