I think they are probably firmer yes but also the taste is just different now. Used to love them but really don't care for them now. First world problems eh.

Branston definitely changed for the worse in recent times. I find Aldi's perfectly adequate.

I couldn't say for all JLR products but for Range Rover and Range Rover Sport since the introduction of those models built on the latest architecture, from January 2022 there has been a theft rate of 0.08% and 0.1% respectively so I think there is certainly still a hangover in the media and...

I think it's going to be a very personal thing. For me I have a decent company pension contribution so I also intend to fund my ISA as well as I can. I really don't like the thought of all my eggs in the pension basket with moving goalposts. Currently put 6% + 10% from company in pension via...

Have a look at CS50p. I'm currently (slowly) going through it as and when I feel like it just for fun/knowledge. I previously completed the original CS50x which has a bit of python in it, but the 'p' flavour of the course is purely focussed on python.

Yes, like I say I understand if they want some sort of proof. Although the agent has made no mention towards the home survey report where most of the problems are. I guess they know the wall is almost falling over! :p It is probably there or thereabouts for price. The reduction would only be a...

Hello fellow forum goers. We are in the process of buying our first house and have had a home survey carried out, as well as a separate asbestos report, mainly just so I know if we need to be more careful about the artex on some of the ceilings. Turns out yes there is some asbestos there...

Renewal through at 73% increase. For a Volvo V40 D2!

It may well have been patched out ages ago but all I did was piling money into the required stocks and selling pre/post the Lester assassination missions. Basically you can end up pretty much maxed out around 2 billion or whatever it is. Certainly didn't wait till the end of the game. Not...

I think cheese board of it all now.

There will always be varying circumstances for different people, but I think there's an element of 'going out and getting it' that some people lack. As it happens I am from an area very near Sandwell. I used to work in a supermarket, but I went and got a Mechanical Engineering degree, went and...

Mine is over 50k and whilst now in a decently paid job the interest generated every month easily surpasses my contribution. Honestly I'm probably just going to leave it and live with it as a 'graduate tax'. If I'm ever out of work or retire early and 'earn' under the threshold then I won't be...

We are off to Tenerife the end of next week. We will be on an all-inclusive basis, so need for further spending should be quite low, but I was considering taking a smallish sum of cash like 100 Euros. However, doing this the old fashioned way and buying Euro's before going obviously doesn't...

Went to see Coldplay at Wembley last year and just drove back, about 2.5 hours. Couldn't be bothered with the price of nearby hotels or faffing on public transport to get somewhere further away. Although did take a while to get off the car park as expected. Needed a stop for coffee but made it...

Bit of a spontaneous decision to book a short break in Northumberland, end of October. Well appointed cottage within the national park and within the gold standard dark sky area for some star gazing. General area looks lovely.

I made some very early placeholder hotel reservations a couple of months ago (free cancellation) and glad I did as the average price per night over the entire trip really wouldn't be bad at all, and a quick cursory glance suggests things may be more expensive now. I understand various hotels...

I was looking back in April when they would have first been released for that time next year and I think they are worse currently. Will keep an eye on them going forwards but can't see any major improvement coming.

This rail pass increase is rather annoying considering we would like to go at the end of march next year. It might still work out about break even given the plan to go from Tokyo to Hiroshima and all the way back up, plus the odd other JR route on non bullet trains...but still. Flight prices...
