Nice review Mik. What made you decide to pick this one out of the other brands out of interest? https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/house-garden/vacuum-cleaners/best-robot-vacuum-cleaners-b2349451.html We'd kinda narrowed it down to the Roomba J7+ or this one. The former seems to have str...

Following the impressively middle-aged excitement expressed by a relative recently around the convenience offered by their new robot hoover, we picked up a TP-link (Tapo) RV30 Plus a week or so back. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/TP-Link-Headline-Image.jpeg We wanted one...

I'd happily volunteer for this!

Biggest issue for insurers has been the cost to replace fences, roof tiles, kitchens, bathrooms etc. Prices for materials haven't really come down since Covid and so the cost of a claim is much higher for an insurer. I was told by Uinsure that they've increased rates by 25% this year, Paymentshield ...

Both Tesla (now 2 years old and 36k miles) and I3 (5 years old and 80k miles) have always been charged to 100% but mostly from home (I3 always from home). No noticeable loss in battery life in either. Have been averaging about 15k miles per year each and electric costs have been about £100 per month...

I can't see why you cannot just replace with a plug and play new PVR box. What output do the cameras have - are they IP connections? My other question would be what resolution are the cameras? If they are less than 4k then it may be worth swapping them but again you should be able to replace the ca...

Is it totally dead or just the hard drives? I don't know, but replacing the box looks pretty cheap. Seen this for £70... https://www.amazon.co.uk/ANNKE-Recorder-Security-Pictures-Smartphone/dp/B00JL7FYOA/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1SQCP9UXKINOD&keywords=cctv+recorder+with+hard+drive&qid=170662155...

We've had our Irlab CCTV installed about 7 years ago and the digital recorder box has stopped working. Original installer hasn't returned our calls so had a different company round that was recommended by a neighbour. Wife said the technician recommended replacing the whole system at £1700 which see...

Saw these recommended by AM on watch finder - https://underd0g.com/products/01mcbr

Love a good micro brand and underd0g seem to offer something genuinely different (in a good way).

I see it's about £46k more than a base 520i. That would make sense if you're getting a proper M car with trick suspension, a special engine etc. But when it's really only extra acceleration you're getting (okay air suspension but as Jobbo points out, will be interesting to see the real difference) a...

Indeed it is. We currently live opposite a village pub and HSBC were fine with that, and the last two people who put offers in also had a mortgage approved, but obviously I don't know who the bank was. I hope it will be ok, and that the surveyors incorporate some common sense.. Who would you say is...

Didn't see it's close to a pub. We had some trouble helping a client buying a cottage near a pub (HSBC's surveyors rejected it even though it shows on there criteria as okay). For example Nationwide show - Considered - If any of the commercial activities are likely to cause a nuisance by virtue of n...

Nice! It's fairly close to us; we're in Arlesey at the minute. But as WFH is more of a thing, being near a train station/A1 etc isn't as important as it once was. Our next neighbour used to commute to London every day which seemed a bit nuts to me from Bolnhurst. Blunham is probably better if you s...

Cheers guys. Hopefully Jobbo can give his thoughts. Good point re. The fireboarding. I'll find out.

That's it! I see it was BMW that used it on a X6

Saw a Purosangue yesterday.. the trim around the wheel arches is pretty ugly. Thankfully, this popped up on insta today 😍 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C14ruxNxXGI/?igsh=bGdkZmt5cm5nNHox That does look lovely. Is that the special black paint that Rolls Royce use?

So ended up with the most boring and obvious choice of all, a black bay 58 on a bracelet. Very chuffed with it. At 39mm it's the right size for me, not too flashy and feels robust so I don't worry about wearing it a lot. Nice choice. Very good VFM! I ended up trying on even more different watches b...
