Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?

If you’re after legal advice then you’ve left it too late, to be honest. Our GDPR specialist is booked up for months already. Be wary of any solicitor claiming to specialise in it who has any capacity to advise you currently.

Re: Been a shitty week

Sad to hear that Mark - I hadn't realised it was so sudden. I haven't lost either of my parents yet (nor even any of my numerous ex-stepmothers) but I don't want to see them getting old and incapable as my grandmother did last year. Not sure losing them this way is better. Hope you're OK.

Re: Commercial property for private use

Business rates. Occupier is responsible for these, and they apply even if you're not using the unit after a relatively short grace period. If you have a commercial lease you are generally responsible for full repair of the building - either by way of a service charge or directly responsible. And com...

Re: For Sells

That takes away the fee issue but does nothing to protect you from scamming buyers. No way I'd sell anything on eBay unless I'd be willing to write off the sale price.

Re: For Sells

That's not the only reason I wouldn't sell on eBay. Easiest is to sell to a dealer; it seems Watchfinder sell them as soon as they come into stock.

For Sells

It seems my Tudor Black Bay, being the first version with ETA movement and black bezel, is a bit of a rarity and prices are going up. And I don't actually wear it much at all; the lack of a date wheel means it's not a useful every day watch for me. With a wedding to pay for next month, I'm planning ...

Re: EOTR - Evo Magazine

Am I the only person who has yet to cancel? I quite enjoyed the 20 years of Evo stories in the last couple of issues, which at least means I'll see it out to the 20th anniversary issue around October.

Of course, we really ought to ban the re-use of this image - it's a lazy racist stereotype of Irish priests.

3) If I drive a C43 it'll simply confirm what I already know, that they're great to drive with a good engine etc etc. But I'd be wasting the salesman's time because it won't change the underlying issue that it'll likely wear down the inner edges of its front tyres in <10k miles, and the underlying ...

Re: What am I missing? £20k ish choice

I like the W205 estate and owners seem to like them too, but they don't come with a wide enough range of engines. A 6-cyl diesel is notable by its omission, for instance, and the only 6-cyl petrol is all AMG'd up and pricey with it. Thought about an Audi A7 with the 3.0TFSI engine? An example, below...

Not on the stag do - I’m not off to Vegas for a drive-thru wedding to a Priscilla Presley lookalike!

Been off-roading in a quarry in the Forest of Dean today. It’s where Autocar filmed the Merc pickup thing recently.
