Re: Euromillions immediate purchase

Maybe better to buy the houses for family, but keep them in some tax efficient vehicle so they don’t own them but live there mortgage-free and only have to pay bills? This is what we need to do for my mother-in-law. We want to make sure she's well housed without actually giving her a house (less sh...

Re: Euromillions immediate purchase

I think what money really 'buys' you is more free time and the removal of stresses. Like others with kids, we couldn't just move anywhere, but we'd immediately go and get my wife and I new cars, throw in the job, then start to hire people to free up our time. So a chef, a gardener, a housekeeper, e...

Can anyone think of another channel that's squandered it's viewers loyalty this badly,? I barely remember Binky being a thing nowadays.

Re: Car insurance

My wife's renewal is up and she's gone from @550 to @950, again another year of no-claims etc etc. Two things pushing hers up, (apart from the norm of accident repair garages and credit hire companies both ripping off insurance companies, thus increasing their costs generally) - she has more years ...

Re: Is car insurance racist?

I said it before - my wife's insurance is more just because she's an immigrant. Change her to 'British' and the premiums drop. There's even a specialist insurer for immigrants (Marshmellow?) who claim to offer better rates for them. It's a con.

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

It's hilarious. You can just hear him in your head saying 'it's ridiculous' in that nasally asinine voice that all cam-equiped cyclists seem to have. Same attitude about being above the law too. I hope he challenges and loses big in court - that'll teach the little prick to think the rules don't app...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Had the pleasure(?) of driving up to Bury to see a customer last Thursday. 245 ish miles each way. Managed 47mpg at a steady cruise of 70mpg. Left home with a full tank and 490 miles later it was still showing 142 miles left on the display. Decent for a 2ltr turbot.
