    Amazon UK delivery problems?

    I am not saying Amazon UK delivery system was 100% bad. I have had no problems for my purchases from Amazon. It was so much shocking this time, and the last time for wife's buying PC experience from Amazon UK. Because I was used to the problem-free deliveries from Amazon UK, maybe it was more...

    Amazon UK delivery problems?

    NT was simpler and faster. It had some problems too like the blue screen death crash occasionally. But it wasn't made to push all the adverts and propagandas in the OS like WINDOWS 10 and 11. Another problem with WINDOWS10 & 11 is having to wait while frequent WINDOWS online update patching...

    Amazon UK delivery problems?

    Wife bought a new laptop from Amazon last year, which developed fault within a few month - it stopped charging the battery. She had to go through the support line for returning it for full refund. It took around 2 weeks to get the refund. She ordered the new PC - this time, not trusting...

    Amazon UK delivery problems?

    Had to get wife to call Amazon, but usual Robot answering machine. Really poor system for the user support when things go wrong. Real hassle to find the menu to contact, and get through to the real person to speak to in Amazon. The option they gave was either Replace or Refund in Full. We...

    Amazon UK delivery problems?

    My wife has ordered a new PC from Amazon. It was supposed to be delivered 2 days ago. But she says the tracking stopped at Leeds Amazon distribution centre, and nothing happened for 2 days. They just show on the App menu, "Maybe the package is lost." and there is no option for Refund, or...

    A mystery of the damp cold room in the house

    The shower room has a vent fan on the wall opening to the outside space. And the window in the shower room gets left open during the day. But still I can see the shower room is damp. The metal shelf for the toiletries bought about 3-4 year ago has gone much rusty all around in the shower room.

    A mystery of the damp cold room in the house

    Yeah, it sounds right. Will keep the door opened for some ventilation, and put on the heating for next few days, as the night temperature is dipping down to almost 0C this week. Will see how it goes. Many thanks for your info and advice. cheers.

    A mystery of the damp cold room in the house

    I monitored with a digital weather station the small room (about 3x 3 m) in downstairs, and it seems strangely keep having high humidity up to 75% and 13C constantly last few days. The electric heating has been switched off with the spring coming, and outside temperature here has been about 8...

    House shaking due to the construction work across the main road

    Good advice. Will be taking some photos of the house inside and out, and keep them for archive with dates and time stamps. There are no visible cracks anywhere in the house at the moment.

    House shaking due to the construction work across the main road

    Why then the things in the house shake? The vibration of the clocks and piles of books are noticeably visible, and it is more intense on the upstairs in the hall or rooms. The downstairs livingroom and kitchen, it is less noticeable.

    Hedge vandalism?

    We have a row of hedge about 6ft high running along between the garden and outside pedestrain path. We get this rubbish getting thrown onto or pushed into the hedges by the passers-by or walkers on the path. I keep checking it, and used to take them out putting the rubbish into the bin. But...

    House shaking due to the construction work across the main road

    This house has never had this problem before. We have stayed in the house for almost 15 years. But recently we have been noticing the house shaking quite a lot. Sometimes I can feel it when I am sitting on the chair doing some computing. But in other times when it is bad, I can see the pile...

    Mains Electricity Operated Chainsaw Parkside 2200W vs. Titan 2000W

    Any tool would be danger to safety if used with no care. Still think the most dagerous tools are motor cars.

    Keeping cats out of the garden?

    We don't like cats. We don't mind as long as they don't come into our garden and mess the grass. I just wish our neighbour would keep them in their own house, but they seem let them out first thing in the morning. The problem of messing was quite bad in our garden, but I planted barrier...

    Keeping cats out of the garden?

    No, we would never own cats, knowing what they will exactly do to the neighbours garden and grass. We would never feel right if neighbours houses and gardens are messed by our cats, and they will start hating us. No way. If we had cats, we will never let them out the house, or we will not have...

    Keeping cats out of the garden?

    They are the 2 cats from next door neighbours. Did set up a security camera in the garden, and the cats are in the videos messing and running away. When they mess on the soil, they tend to bury their mess. But when they do on the grass, they just leave them there and run away. Cats can't dig...

    Keeping cats out of the garden?

    I have never seen a fox in this area or in our garden for all my time living here in this area, and that is about 36 years.

    Mains Electricity Operated Chainsaw Parkside 2200W vs. Titan 2000W

    For Parkside 2200W Chainsaw, I was disppointed with this video for its performamce. It looks underpowered I thought. But no, it looks like the user error - no PPE to start, and the way he was cutting is NOT right, and maybe did let down the saw instead the saw letting down the user.

    Mains Electricity Operated Chainsaw Parkside 2200W vs. Titan 2000W

    I forgot I had the Titan SDS drill too. It was 2 year ago last time I used it. It is somewhere in the shed now forgotten until you mentioned it. I used it to put up a new fence in the space where the old fence was blown away by the January harricane. To dig out the fence post 2 ft deep...

    Mains Electricity Operated Chainsaw Parkside 2200W vs. Titan 2000W

    Sure. I agree with your points. And I went for Titan Chainsaw. It was a deal for £49.99 from £55 at the local SFX. I also had a £10 discount voucher, so it was total £39.99, for a brand new chainsaw what a bargain. It was all set up in 10 minutes in the garden, chain oil put in, and the...
