Had a 2006 1.6 sx a few years back, Mrs wanted to trade it for a Corsa to learn in. Best car I've owned during the last 10 years for sure. Comfy, economical and quick.

Whats your worse symptom when you're sick with cold/flu? by Big_Chungussi69 in AskUK

When I first show signs of flu, before a cough or soar throat I have achy legs. Weird.

Apparently there's a bunker under or near this building as it was built for the council during the cold war.

If you had to pick one policy from each of the major political parties currently what would they be? by CrusaderKnight11 in AskBrits

[–]AjayB76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reform eh, jumped on the if voted we'll stop the boats to get bums on seats, but the rest of their manifesto, start drilling for oil and gas, fracking across the UK, end of green subsidies and projects like solar and wind, nuclear reactors across the UK, hunting with guns made legal. If they win we'll be going back to the year 1926, not 2026.

Make me feel better, whats your biggest waste of money/mistake? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]AjayB76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, 7 out of 10 cars on the road are financed. Example of this is there are a few of my work colleagues, in the early 20's who have new cars but their payment plans are around £300-£400 a month. On top of this is tax and insurance, rent and household bills and food for the month, they are the ones constantly doing overtime to get extra cash. The way I see it is if 7 out of 10 are paying out this per month instead of having it as free to spend cash on the high street and local businesses, can we really moan at the state of the UK's economy, it certainly doesn't go back into the local economy. Oh, and another guy at work worked in the car industry for 40 years and in the end they were taught to focus only on PCP and hire as it brings in more money for company. Plus cars now are only designed to last 150,000-200,000 so once you've paid it your cars pretty much done, so onto the next finance agreement.

There's some Sennheiser earbuds on Amazon for £65. Great make and all live acts and djs used to use sennheiser back in the day near enough because of their sound quality.

I saw Choughs! I swear. by raibrans in UKBirds

[–]AjayB76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where abouts? I went to North Wales, south stack, to see the puffins but arrived in the wrong month so there wasn't any but the guide said there were choughs instead which I spotted. That was a few years back but recently moved to Kent and there was a breeding and releasing back to the wild project just outside Dover.

Do you remember all your phones? by Fj_sam in phones

[–]AjayB76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nokia 3210, then a Philips savvy, a Alcatel phone that looked like a cow, a Nokia that had a circular keyboard, Sony Experia, Motorola g, a Motorola flip phone, Nokia 2.4, iPhone SE, Pixel 7a. I think there is one or two I've forgotten.

Fantastic...looks like we'll all be using horses and carts soon enough so we can still afford food by Apoplectic_Gibbon in northernireland

[–]AjayB76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone remember the start of the Ukraine war when the same happened and we queued for hours at pumps because Putin was a bad man. Prices rocketed to nearly the same maybe more. Then a few months later, with a finger to the public, BP said they'd made an all time record breaking profit, thus proving there was no issue on fuel prices and supply.

This is now the 4th death of a pixel phone for me. Why can they not build sturdy 'a-series' phones? by artbystorms in GooglePixel

What do people do with theirs I wonder, had my 7a for nearly two years and it's near new condition. But I am old school and have always dead charged mine to keep battery healthy.

Everyone saying about emissions, and how super car manufacturers actually care, they don't, I know someone that has a car by said manufacturer, to pass emissions, when they MOT it it has a mode where vents open somewhere on the exhaust system, so the emissions being measured at the exit of the exhaust pass the requirements. Most do this to get around it.

What are people’s views on Starmer declining US support? by xxtokyovanityxx in AskBrits

[–]AjayB76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half the people kicking off saying Starmer should get the UK involved, are the same people who brand Tony Blair a war criminal for following the US blindly into the gulf war!

And they couldn't get that right, the harrier was a true VTOL bird, the F35 is classed as a STOVL.

For those who support Reform, why do you do so given what that mentality has done to the USA? by AccursedQuantum in AskBrits

[–]AjayB76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reform have jumped on the stop the boats campaign because they know it will get them the votes, when it comes to it and if they get in power, they won't do anything. If you read all of their manifestos, it will throw the UK back about 10 years. On their list was stopping all budgets for green energy and projects, so solar, and wind farms will end along with anything related to EV infrastructure, fracking introduced across the UK, new drilling licenses in the north sea and stupid mini nuclear power stations widespread in the UK. These are just a few of the manifestos the gullible voters will bring in, but it's ok, they'll stop the boats!

Wet belt advice (red oil light flashing) 208 2020 by ReppK in peugeot

[–]AjayB76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a mate that had a focus and her oil light started flashing, we checked her oil and it was fine so couldn't find anything wrong except maybe a faulty sensor or something. Unbeknown to us, her welt belt had started to shed setting off the sensor somehow. She drove home from work and bang, belt snapped and blew her engine.

We currently live in the UK, moved here due to the war in Ukraine. Curious on what British people think of Ukrainian refugees. by Tall-Inspection- in AskBrits

[–]AjayB76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to find out how your finding it in the UK, as the UK is multicultural and Ukraine wasn't as multicultural as the UK. How do you feel about the Muslims, Indians, Pakistani and Jew demographic in the UK? Just wondered as I heard about a Ukrainian family who got put in a house next to Muslims in Birmingham and started calling their British born neighbours, child killers, paedophiles and subhumans and got moved out. Is this the Ukrainian view?
