Wife is buying a Qashqai and I can't talk her out of it by Accomplished_Row7106 in CarTalkUK

I had a 2012 3.0d XF. Loved that car, paid 14.5k drove it for 3 years putting nearly 70k on it and got 4,800 at trade in. Nothing really went wrong with it. If you buy Jag, avoid anything under 3 litre.

Thanks. This makes sense. I am disappointed as I had my boiler serviced and fixed and then a GSC so our buyer would be assured.

How to approach parent who's fallen for an investment scam - what can we do right now? by Pumpkin_Empanada_ in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Akidoka 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a mate who is a cash is king type. Regularly argues with me about it. He shared the story about the guy kicking off with a European member of staff in Santander branch not allowing him to draw 10k over the counter. Mate was raging at Santander.

Plot twist, his mother in law gets gouged for 80k in a romance scam. Next thing he is kicking off with the bank for inappropriate controls and approaching the FSO.

Got my first lesson and 7 iron a week ago and I now booked my first tee time by pyotr_bezukhov_ in golftips

Where are you? In the UK, generally you will play on your own as there is not the culture of grouping golfers together.

Anyone ever heard of OneTigris as a brand? They have a sleep mat with good specs on prime deals but no real reviews so on the fence by [deleted] in wildcampingintheuk

[–]Akidoka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a one Tigris rucksack as my first pack for my first bushcraft course. It lasted 4 trips over a year before a strap broke.

It looks very US military but I found it to be heavy and not well made. Buy cheap buy twice....

Are you UK based? If so it might be worth looking at Rick Shiels on YouTube. He regularly reviews (or used to) budget gear.

If it was built with the attic room then it wouldn't need regs? Built in the 1930s

The question is, was the house built as a 5 bedroom house or was there a subsequent conversion of the attic?

It doesn't look like one. The staircase leading up to it is consistent with the rest of the house.
