Yes, that's where I've been looking. Prices are crazy for next year.

Apologies if I dreamt this, but I recall people giving discount codes on here a while back for Brittany ferries. I'm trying to book for next year and unsurprisingly the costs are more than 30% higher than last time I looked for comparable crossings. Do any codes exist, and can anyone share if...

I had new fibre installed and an active line with BT within 48 hours of ordering last month, including running new fibre from the road across another property into my flat in a very rural area. Mind bogglingly quick. The Openreach engineer loaned me a router until the BT one arrived, but...

Oh dear god, please don't open up that can of worm again....

The router I have borrowed is a couple of generations old, so it works fine but isn't current. He offered it to me to get going straight away until my own arrives. Very nice of him regardless of the motives. I've today put in a compliment form to Openreach for both engineers.

I have to admit, I've been absolutely blown away by my experience with BT/Openreach. I've just moved into a very rural farm cottage. Broadband is available but due to the distance from the exchange I'd be getting below 2mbps. FTTP was available so I ordered that at 10pm on Monday night. I was...

It happened when you got old, and the kids they are appealing to are significantly younger than you, thus their language reflects this.

Sorry to hear that, but you're right. I've seen some poor driving from crews, and have on occasion rebuked myself following a bit of driving I realised was less than ideal on reflection. You are quite right about approaching cars at lights. If there is room for them to split to the sides I...

I drive ambulances and response cars daily on blue light runs. Officially we are told that if we are moving with the blue lights on we should also have the sirens on. If we have an accident and don't have the sirens going too we are in a heap of trouble. The reality is that we get as sick of...

I interfere with natural selection.

:D

A colleague was telling me last week she was told by the estate agent of a property she wanted to view, that she needed to make an offer before they would allow a viewing and that was becoming standard.

Have you considered talking to her about it?

I came here to post exactly this.

I would like to be able to run an RS6 Avant as my daily driver. I'd like a Caterham 7 CSR for weekend fun and a Bowler Wildcat for every now and then. Nothing hugely expensive in isolation, but out of my reach at present.

Test rode a BMW XR900 today. I've looked at them since they were launched with interest but never got round to trying one. My friend was test riding a 1250GS and bullied me into test riding alongside him! First impressions were poor. The seat was rock hard and paper thin. Thought it might ease...

If you can shift into reverse without pressing anything then you need that sorted before you lunch the autobox and cause an accident when it gets knocked when you're at speed.

I think there is more to this than just the clinical comparison of the two cars. There is the emotional aspect. Yes, it would be nice to keep it in the family, but the flip side to that is your dad may always see that as his car, long after it is sold to you. This can extend to getting...

No, they are a budget brand, but a brand in their own right. Not bad quality stuff. But not Dewalt, Makita etc quality.
