Yeah I get that. However I weigh everything up these days re doing it myself vs getting someone else to do it. Although I kind of knew it was the battery and that the alternator was ok, the AA guy confirmed this with his fancier software. Old battery taken away, new battery fitted and tested...

:) tbh I could have gone and bought myself a replacement and fitted it, but as the years roll by I seem to be less and less inclined to do these things compared to when I were a lad. I was a bit peeved as the price range of suggested batteries from them was £160 fitted to £250. He didn't have...

Had the AA out to replace my car battery. £215 all in.

Based on the topic question, the answer would surely have to be 'no' or 'how the feck should we know?' It could be pure chance the village is predominantly white. If it could be proved the local estate agents and/or residents weren't selling property to any non white people, that's a different...

I'm far from being a royalist, so my personal preference would be to see them disbanded entirely. I've not given the alternative much thought, however a parliamentary republic approach might be my preference. If the monarchy is to remain, my personal preference would be to see their land and...

Ha Ha HAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Well I took myself to Asda yesterday. Did my shopping, scanning as I went. Got to the scan & go checkout and immediately beside it, four or five people were queuing at the traditional checkout. I paid and left, meanwhile the queue hadn't moved one bit. I know what suits me better ;)

You've completely missed my point.

Here's an analogy for you. Bob is a tyre fitter. He's been one for 30 years. When he first started in the game, he would complete the entire process by himself. Drive car into service bay, remove the wheel, remove the defective tyre, take a new tyre off the shelf, fit the new tyre to the...

If Reform get in with a decent majority, I suspect those who voted them in will gradually think 'oh feck ...' on a number of fronts.

Nah.

Eh? I use scan & go. So even for a larger shop, it's as straightforward as going to the kiosk (all items already scanned by me), paying and I'm out of there. Probably takes a couple of minutes if that. Rarely do I need to queue for a free kiosk. Meanwhile the queues of folk at the...
