    The 2024 Formula One Season

    tones this will be about Americans not getting what Americans want. Think if Concorde had been Boeing a way of making it operate [ assuming it would have been safe as it would have been built before the merger with Douglas] would have been found. The Yanks wouldn't have been bothered if a Polish...

    Housing market

    Temporary housing in containers would become like post 2nd world war prefabs which were supposed to last a few years but many are still in use. When Peterborough council wanted to demolish a street of them there was such an outcry from the residents that they were refurbished and are still in...

    Chromebook for occasional laptop user

    It would be good enough but why change the operating system if your M-I-L is happy with it? Obviously there would be a Windows OS update but it would feel the same to her. I would ask her and do what she wants.

    ebay import warning

    Buying items from abroad on Ebay is easy if you use the Global Shipping Programme. The seller posts the item to the GSP office in their home country and the GSP takes over. The buyer registers with the GSP before bidding and pays for shipping from the GSP office to their home address plus any...

    Selling a good to a person living in Germany - could I get shafted?

    I would agree a price and then list it as Buy It Now on Ebay when they have discounted fees. He can then buy it through their Global Shipping Programme in which you post it to their base in Lichfield and the GSP takes care of any import duties to the EU and forwards it to him at his expense. If...

    Off-grid shed question...

    Talk to a fully qualified electrician. As the shed already has 230v AC any solar power may need to be tethered to the same earth whether the light fittings it is supplying are double insulated or not.

    There are 2 or 3 options depending on your travel peferences. Best is to download the Journey Planner from TfL at tfl.gov.uk and plan it for yourself as there are quite a few variables.

    War declared, Israel v Palestine...

    The American Gov't probably supported Israel so strongly to gain votes to get the money for Ukraine through Congress. Part of the money goes to Israel but most to Ukraine. Not that the US establishment doesn't instinctively support Israel. I don't really understand what Hamas expected to gain...

    Japan

    I would avoid flights that use Russian air space. In the unlikely event that the flight has a technical issue over Russia and has to divert I won't risk the possiblity of being mis treated by the Russians on arrival. 3 hours in an aircraft is worth every second to avoid this risk.

    smart water meters

    I had standard water meters fitted by Thames Water and if the bullshit... I mean process I was put through had been scripted and sent to the producers of Star Trek as the plot for an episode they would have thrown it out as being too unbelievable. To describe Thames Water as incompetent would be...

    War declared, Israel v Palestine...

    Our fight is to support Ukraine. Israel has made it's own problems with the ultra right wing government. The US won't get this and if not managed properly our grand childern could be learning Russian, Chinese and Cyrillics. Worrying times which seem to be controlled by the club of dictators .

    Black Tie Wedding

    ', I generally view it as a pointless antiquated ceremony bases on pointless antiquated religious beliefs.' A friend of mine thought the same and has lived with the love of his life for decades. As they are now both in their seventies they took financial advice to plan for when one of them...
