In years past I've found that once you're through to an actual human the service has been fine. Just getting to that point though.

Rich B /sparky skilled people. Looking for some help. We're considering how to manage our idle time leccy use in our offices, as there is a lot of kit on desks that aren't in use outside of office hours (docking stations, monitors). Do you know of a product that will allow us to control each bank o...

Need to change something, call them up, get a loooong preamble about how easy it is to use their online services, and whatnot. Unfortunately that won't fix my problem. Then get to the "tell me why you're calling". I tell it. It mulls my response over, tells me they're very busy and hangs u...

Yes. Hopefully it'll end their dominance.

Interesting. That'll be a blow to their future strategy.

What a faff. GWS.

Is a leased car yours? Are you saying you're paying the leasing costs on three large commercial jets? If you do, I'll agree they can stay on the list. No, but I’d argue this is a what do you drive list, otherwise there’d be myriad lists of finance free, bought but owe the bank, added to mortgage, l...

Yes. There are a few bits and bobs that could be done, but it is a bare minimum effort to get it looking better for when we put it up for sale.

Work started today. Scaffold went up this morning, and early afternoon the builder showed up, starting to mark out what needs cutting out. https://gallery.ov9.co.uk/images/2024/04/24/20240424_172623.jpg He's started on the cutting. So far he's not found anything horrendous, fingers crossed that cont...

This sounds quite tasty!

Stop hanging around street corners, and go sit inside. That'll help.

Can you re-lay the (presumably concrete) floor 20mm lower with entry/exit ramps? He might find himself with a need to lower the floor further in the future though - better to simply install a jacking system to painlessly raise the room above this aperture. Futureproofing. :geek: The correct choice ...

Booked a builder last week to repair the render on the side of the house, he told me late June which is fine with us. He just called asking if they can start on Wednesday.

So, looks like it will get done rather more quickly.

The trailer looked good for Fallout... fingers crossed... I've seen 1.5 episodes and it's suprisingly good - few mates who've never played the games have said how much they enjoyed it too. Colour me suprised, from the trailers I expected it to be poor. Someone make a Mass Effect TV show! (although ...

Forgot to mention some of the cars we saw on the recent trip to France: Renault Vel Satis, Peugeot 607, part of The Cannon Run field (RRS SVR, M4 comp, A45 AMG, 488, McLaren something), and (unconnected with the run) a well used Lambo Gallardo. Faves were a pair of Citroen Traction Avants tooling ar...

What are the incentives for EVs? If it is like in Norway that's surprising. But, the area in scope (for now) it is easily avoided.

Yes. And there are exceptions for disabled badge holders and some others.
