Thanks for the input – I’ve had my share of mid life crises cars over the years from the insane to the boring. 

Always fancied one, so Will give it a go ! 

Hamas terrorist shared sick photos of Israeli grandma’s body on her Facebook after butchering her…

militants or terrorists?

and yet BBC refuses to call them terrorists or even report on this story !

Woman at pro-Palestine rally in Brighton calls Hamas attacks on Israel ‘beautiful and inspiring’ – she should be arrested !

keep your left wing ideology’s coming – keyboard warriors !

I’m Jewish though not religious.

We have lots of family/friends  in Israel,  today I watched the funeral of the British 20 year old solider who was murdered yesterday by terrorists not fighters or militants TERRORISTS.    I know his parents, watching their faces today was beyond heart-breaking.

The girl that was murdered by terrorists and put on show naked then spat and kicked /250 party goers murdered  that’s an act of terrorism, how can anyone support that – there will be hundreds of awful stories coming out in the days  the days ahead.

You can talk to the cows come home how wrong you think Israel is – however they are not terrorists in anyway they don’t parade dead bodies  or parade naked teenage girls who have probably been raped.

No war ever ends happily for any side, that’s the nature of war.

Thanks all for recommendations 😊

Yosemite looks like it will be cancelled as it’s too snowy, head down the coast !!!!

Joshua tree is a bit far ! (We’ll also be in Palm Springs which is nearby)

Police officer was very clear they wouldn’t be following it up. This is the metropolitan police who are beyond screwed up.

She’s probably not fond of you either !
However perhaps your friends like your company hence why you’ve been asked.

Stop being a look at me on a forum moaning about f. Uck all type of person.

Stealth add

Car details ???

How have you got this far in life not knowing how to sell a car !
Word of mouth
EBay
Auto trader
Facebook market place

Etc

As you’re concerned about the ethics perhaps you should worry about the environmental impact as well and holiday in 🇬🇧.

I’m afraid the minute you step out of the UK for a holiday all ethics are lost though you can always post on here to make yourself feel better.

It’s okay I don’t have any ethics either this year as will be long haul to California in March for a holiday x4.

Oh and your oil burner of a VW will cheer up the sparrows no end.

There is a bonus to stopping and paying with the quick tap and go…
…forces drivers to slow down which gives the eyes and concentration a quick break from motorway driving.
As most of you on here are driving gurus with oodles of knowledge regarding bad driving, tyres and anything car related you certainly couldn’t disagree that having a quick minute or two break as terrible.

Disagree with using the tag, you’re on holiday what’s the rush !

You’re overthinking it – it’s so quick tap your card and you’re off.

I have no issue paying for the extra work

But they’ve asked you to pay the difference in fitting costs?

And you’re not happy about this?

I’m not unhappy

I’m asking what the extra cost will be roughly.

Thanks 😊

Definitely going for tiles 100%

Just to put this into clarity

You’re going to spend minimum of £35 on a lobster and throw it back in the sea ?
The real question you should be asking yourself is
Why do you feel the need to do this ? Give the money to a homeless person or be frivolous. Saving the lobster isn’t going to save you !

* it’ll only be replaced by another lobster!

Send a small amount off for testing, look online. Won’t cost much

The small amount that you describe won’t cause any damage.

Well a topic that no one can answer!

That’s a first on here !

Toyota Estima

Colleague has one it’s lovely to be in.

For shits n giggles…

… I can just imagine your sons face when you tell him “yeah son been on my geek bike forum asking a bunch of other geeks what you can do on your trip”

I’m sure that’ll go down well with him and his friend !

Mr dad who wants to relive his earlier years let your son discover for himself. He knows how to work the internet, if it’s feasible why not try and incorporate a holiday and meet up with him for a few weeks?

* he’s a lucky lad to be able to go travelling many fond memories from my world tour back in the 90s

** I’m pretty sure any advice on here is pretty top notch.

Krytrons daughter has nothing to do with MM.

If you’re interpreting that way that’s your look out.

Well done. We can all learn a lesson from you there

This is a forum it’s called banter, it used to be okay to banter now it’s not as people get to upset.

We don’t all have to agree on everything (though it helps on this forum otherwise you’re ousted)

Personally I couldn’t care what he says, though I’ve enjoyed playing the part of I’m a clarkson fan, I’m not.

Most journalists write utter tripe that’s the media money making way.

Kryton I apologise for winding you up…

This is what I don’t read the media/news use Facebook/twitter it’s full of hatred and crap !

As per others, if you know Megan Markle exclusively and have the facts to trancend the Media+Windsor vs The Sussex’ argument please enlighten us, but I’d suggest you’ve formed your own ill informed opinion.

On the same argument you made your opinion on Clarkson – do you know what he’s really thinking ? No.

I don’t have an opinion on the Royals couldn’t care either way, nor do I care for Clarkson.

Kryton please show us where Clarkson has been racist in his comment ?

To promote and support such mysojonistic violence and degradation is outrageous.

clearly you’re offended very easily

Is it? And when some – mixed race or otherwise – girl gets attacked, paraded naked and shat on because some nasty piece of work got the idea from Clarkson’s text, what would you say then?

How does your mind work ?!? where did you read this from or is it your own thought ? How have you got to this ?

The idiocy of that comment you made makes your insensitivity a bit more understandable so I wouldn’t worry too much.

Wow if we all lived by Krytons silly comment we’d never talk to anyone, they’d all be dead to us all !

as much as you disagree with my comment I disagree with yours…

So if someone says they dislike someone does that make them racist ? No didn’t think so !

They are cut off financially from the Royal Family right?

I’m sure the $100 Million didn’t sway them to sell the story to Netflix ! Not at all !!!

Shock horror someone in the media says something you don’t agree with, doesn’t make him racist !

That’s it for me, as a father to mixed race children and specifically one of them being a girl, he’s dead to me.

I’m sure he’s really bothered about your opinion! You’re overreacting if she’d been white you wouldn’t give it a 2nd thought.

People are allowed their own opinions,just because he dislikes Meghan money grabber doesn’t make him racist !

Arrrrrghhhhh

MiL has been phoning daily just to remind us how she’s panicking about everything from what she’ll eat to what time I’m collecting them etc

I’m neither happy nor sad this is happening, my wife on the other hand isn’t impressed in any way. It’s adding unnecessary stress to an already stressful life !

Can’t wait to spend 4 whole days with them !

And today my dad who’s 89 phones and asks if he can come with us as he decided he doesn’t want go with my brother and his family to the alps skiing(he’s as fit as a fidel/looks about 65 but completely bonkers) said noway matey ! You’re on your own or go to my sister! Lol he said he’d be happier at home and will get a self invite to his lady friends family !

4 whole days of insane 1950s communist views/ 4 whole days of Mil moaning.
Shame we don’t live in the Netherlands if we did I’d be buying a massive bag of coffee shop special brew and let the time float over me !

The only one potential thing that could really annoy me is if I don’t get a good phone signal !

Thanks for the opinions

There must be a VFM car that I’ve forgotten about £8000 max must be Auto and small to Medium size, Petrol and interesting!!?! If that’s possible. New as possible.
We have a qashqai main car.

Don’t want anything from the VW GROUP Dsg gearboxes aren’t reliable.

I’m coming from 300bhp

Inspire me !

Subaru Impreza 2012 2.0 auto ??? Any good ?

The day of the postie have been marked for years, nobody wants to admit it.

For eg
Postie
Works 40 hr week
Average pay £23000 ish
Plenty of exercise
You’re own boss when walking the streets
Along with a few other positives I’m sure.

Now compare that to the delivery person
Works between 8 to 10 hours a day
7 days a week
Extremely stressful driving all the time
No holiday pay if self employed
No perks if they become unwell
Far less pay than a postie

It’s plainly obvious that Royal Mail aren’t up to the job anymore, there are numerous delivery companies that are far better run the RM.
And completely obvious though again no one wants to see it is that who posts letters these days most companies are paperless billing.
That amazing invention of emails stopped hand written letters in its tracks.

I’d say being a postie right now is a pretty good place to be cos they won’t be around for much longer. For the odd letter you may send/receive guess who’ll be delivering it – not a postman but a delivery person !

That my friends is how it is, if you really want to help a postie get sending letters by the thousands.

Free market apparently

And your point is ?

Old news and repeated on here all the time.

Spent time on both Heatable and BOXT
Both are similar prices £2500.00

This included
Viesmann https://www.viessmann.co.uk/en/products/gas/vitodens-050-w.html

Or

Worcester Bosch greenstar 4000
https://www.screwfix.com/p/worcester-bosch-greenstar-4000-gas-combi-boiler/459pr

Also included is
Power flush
Flue
Filter

Both come with 10 year warranty

all fitting allowing for gas pipe replacement to boiler if needed
Not interested in being able to control from phone.

I can’t deal with tradesman trying it on and giving me BS. can’t imagine an independent would come near that price though I think the fitters for both BOXT and Heatable are self employed.

*have a few recommendations for independents and will give them a ring tomorrow.

What could possibly go wrong !

Thanks for all answers

Has anyone used BOXT or Heatable ?

Both the quotes from them seem okay.

Ask for the money back, which you won’t get btw.
If he’s clearly used the materials you supplied and is denying it, ask him to leave and find another plumber.
Don’t even bother with his crappy explanation He’s a thief and a liar not someone I’d want in my house.

He’s the reason honest tradesman get a bad reputation.

If you’re quibbling over a few hundred pounds for a charger installation perhaps you can’t afford the car…

Tightwad

Don’t take the dogs !

You wouldn’t take them to Vietnam…

Problem solved and you’ll be able to spend quality time together rather than fussing over 4 smelly dogs in a cramped shed !

Occasionally our dog gets left behind when we want a break !

Pretty sure he mentioned toughened glass.

Had a few quotes for repairing the original stain glass, would just like a change for now.
We have other stain glass in the house so not overly concerned about the front door.

You’re worried about 10 at most vehicles potentially leaking fluids into the ground ?
There are far worse culprits dumping environmental disasters into the ground.

You need to be more holistic perhaps the hoarding is because of a deeper issue that you don’t know about.

As said it’s their land… don’t like it move or be considerate to them as you know absolutely nothing about their personal lives.

Mr Nimbi ! Not in my back yard literally!

It really wasn’t hard to find the answer

British passport holders require a visa to enter India. Fortunately, UK passport holders can apply for the essential travel document online. The Indian eVisa process is fully electronic with no need to attend an embassy or consulate in person.

Reducing Beer Intake – Any Tips?
