    Dodgy?

    "Could be arsed to go and see it" you mean? 🤣

    Oh No!

    Oh i've had those sort of notes before, but from a local scrapyard. At least they used their own business cards...

    Apparent forced entry and relay attack (no keyless entry) - Futile?

    If you were in Japan and not Netherlands i'd suspect those marks meant some of the erm, iffy Japanese videos i've watched were based on real living things 😁

    Maybe if you'd asked me twenty or so years ago when they lived there, but not now, other than saying if they could claim it, they did!

    I think there are many people who will only be happy when Chump is in rigueur mortice! (that's either stiff as a board or behind a locked cell door)

    Oh they were quite proud of the fact that they didn't work and claimed for everything!

    Thank you Fritze. Any Oil is better than no oil at all!

    Yes, but have you never gone onto a forum looking for an answer to a question and seen person A say one thing and person B say the complete opposite and then person C claim they are BOTH wrong then person D agree with C except that C is wrong as well and then the next sixtythree pages are full...

    Thank you Fritze. Any Oil is better than no oil at all!

    I tend to fill things up with what the manufacturer states should go in it. I figure they should know better than some bloke 'down the pub/end of our street/local garage/internet experts' etc

    But it isn't just £118 a week is it. That's just the start, something to get your foot through the door of claiming for everything else... Those neighbours of mine claimed for everything!

    Oh i get angry at many sorts of people. Sometimes it's the only thing that gets me up in the morning! Personally, i don't know ANYONE who was genuinely mis-sold PPI, but many who made a claim. I got fed up with letters asking me to forward my details if i couldn't remember them and they'd do the...

    I'd describe them as lazy scroungers! (PC description...) The old man wasn't right in the head either. We used to get a lot of learner drivers stopping to perform manoeuvres along our road. They would sometimes stop by the curb to see how close they could park? They would often stop alongside...

    I actually did know three people who preferred to sign on rather than work for a living. They lived on the corner of my road. The old man and his two late twenties daughters, they never worked a day in the five or six years they lived there. They claimed every benefit available.

    I don't know what either rate is. Haven't claimed the former for many years and i'm paid well above minimum wage. Just repeated what i read. edit Could it be including other benefits you can get if long term sick? They didn't mean being off work for a week or two...

    Fuel capacity in a 101 ambi

    Thanks. I'm still undecided... I've got an overdrive to fit. I'm hoping the fifth gear will take consumption down to around 28 mpg ;)

    And there in lies the problem. It's used for sickness benefits. I read yesterday, or the day before that there are nearly 3 million on the sick. Sick pay is too generous and over a year it's £3000 MORE than the minimum wage leading to people deciding to 'go on the sick' instead of work...

    Given the number of stop and seizure electric bike owners are getting, i think it's time to ban them not register them. I get the impression that the majority of them are all vastly overpowered than is legal. The number of youtubers showing you how to get your normal pushbike to do 60mph+ by...

    Tax + MOT exemption... I'm confused!

    Same here, left Lode Lane 1977, arrived Ashurch, sat around for five years. Went orf to transition into an amulance in 1982. My V5 thinks that was when it was born. Fortunately Gaydon knows better!
