    Petrol- octane too low

    Thsnks Tony, Have not watched the video but I recall a recent fill of Esso super unleaded and my car (Audi S3) ran like an absolute dog with much lower than expected mpg. It was very strange as a previous fill at a different station was perfectly fine. A top up with Optimax fixed matters I...

    Teddy Pardo - is Customs Duty and VAT payable?

    When I bought my power supply from Teddy I did not pay any customs duty. I recall reading that there was some form of agreement between UK and Israel meaning customs duty would not apply. This could of course be a false memory, so cannot be trusted. I guess a bit of research on the internet...

    My wife got the BWOTD as soon as she saw what letters it started with. I was struggling despite it being only 5 letters. I can assist if you require…..

    Squardle

    Yes, I liked the five and a half rating, a fun touch. A fun way to spend an hour of my day waiting for the car to be serviced

    Glastonbury 2023

    With refercne to Rick Astley, if you search for The Luddites there should be a treasure trove of material on youtube and the like. My mate plays guitar with him at these gigs which started in the humble East Molesey cricket club many years ago. Definitely fits in the good bloke category, in my...

    Series “The Playlist” on Netflix - anyone watched it?

    We watched it. Enjoyed it. I believe you don’t have to watch it in any particular order as each episode is self contained It did leave me feeling very torn over music streaming.

    Any pitfalls to pay pal ?

    I have only sold something of value once. In this instance I seem to remember I created an invoice from PayPal for the goods. PayPal took a fee from me, which was shared with the buyer. At the time this gave me confidence that I had a level of security from PayPal if the buyer was rogue I would...

    Unite Union discount scheme

    Quite rightly you are looking at a break / exit point if you are not getting the opportunities to make the contract worthwhile. Could you ask for a break point at say two months?

    Network Availability (C120) Virgin Media...

    That is not good news and very frustrating for you In the past when I have some strange connectivity issues the support forum has been brilliant. Managing to book engineer visits and the likes in very quick time https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/CommunityHubForums I...

    Scottish Politics II

    My (perhaps slightly disingenuous and tongue in cheek) view was that her plan was simply to get the vote over the line and then hand over the reins to someone else ….. then when she does the book tour of whatever comes next she can blame someone else for the resulting mess, pretty much like the...

    Coax cable for Virgin Media V6 box - quality vs length?

    My understanding is that Virgin get very upset if you do your own wiring with your own cable. They normally insist that they undertake this sort of change. I have had a lot of very good support from the virgin community forum who helped identify issues and then get engineers to visit the...

    Just a thought and not something I have tried, but could he make use of an e-sim?
