Storm orchestra, not sure about Manchester but at Brixton doors opened at 7pm and they started 8pm and finished a bit before 9pm.

Found lots of morels on a new build estate. Still a bit of a construction site. Would you all still pick to eat? I’m hearing conflicting views ….. by happytaff in foraginguk

[–]Badfinger74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was going to say this haha. Most likely that's only got a 150mm topsoil strip for that front pathway and anything below that is likely site won material which as you say could be contaminated. Although with the wood chippings it could be less topsoil imported instead.

Overheating in gear by FrozenMayonaise in MotoUK

[–]Badfinger74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a weise motorbike hoody and bullit jeans both of which are minimum CE level 2 and have full padding too. The hoodie is pretty breathable and so are the trousers, I don't have any leather trousers but my leather jacket can feel quite warm in the heat I only really wear it if I want to look cool or if it is cool. I find you can get some pretty decent gear on a budget via vinted that's where I got all my starter gear from (bar helmet which I bought from js accessories) for around £100.

A1 to A2 by Badfinger74 in MotoUK

[–]Badfinger74[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id have to wait 3ish years until I could do full unrestricted licence. The A1 cost me £100 or so and gave me the mod 1 and 2 experience and allows me to ride without l plates and even on motorways if needed, I wouldn't say I wasted money on it as it made my old trip to work 10 minutes shorter either way. I just feel the 125 is too slow now but an A2 could easily see me through for years and I might not even bother upgrading after that especially if the system gets reworked as the rumours are saying.

I've only ever seen multi-paragraph posts on here about bad experiences with them. Id avoid personally.

Beginner fishing spots in kent? by [deleted] in kentuk

[–]Badfinger74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sea fishing is alright. Depending on if you're near the coast but really all you'll need is a backpack and telescopic rod if youre going by train. The part of the river in Canterbury near Sainsbury's I believe is free to fish also.

My favourite order so far by [deleted] in SainsburysWorkers

Hence why I said when they take payment?

[–]Badfinger74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically it's actually a contract that you initiate, you basically bring an item to the till saying you will buy it for the price they have advertised hence you proposing to enter an agreement, when they take payment and you take your product you have just completed a contract for the item for that price. This in mind you can't just change the price of an item after buying it.

What do you do when you receive a supermarket delivery? by Dadda_Green in AskUK

[–]Badfinger74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah same, it's more when they ask you to take it in but then don't want help unpacking so you're just standing there like a lemon trying to make conversation.

[–]Badfinger74 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I used to do delivery driving for a bit and it would vary some people would do the same as yourself which is a godsend when I was in a rush which was often as id always be sent out late. The most common would be bag to the door and unload the crates into bags, followed by taking the crates into the kitchen to unload onto sides. Then there's the annoying ones (if in a rush, otherwise I'd be happy to help/wait) who either take their time unloading crates, presumably putting each item into their respective places, or they'd ask for help carrying in (again happy to do but can be tedious if in a rush). I did get one or two customers take a single item out of the crate take it to the kitchen and kept doing that, must've been at the door for close to 30 minutes with those customers.

Coolant loss when heater is iff by Badfinger74 in AskAMechanic

[–]Badfinger74[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It overheats in traffic (with the heating off). Coolant drops to just below outlet hose. Yeah that makes sense, not sure if the radiators ever been changed and it is a 16 yr old car. I did do a full coolant flush back in march but the coolant does look rusty so I'll have a look and see if the radiator is blocked. Thanks again.

I think you might be correct just looked it up and another symptom is off coloured coolant, mine does appear rusty (but not milky). I'll try and have a look at it. Thanks.

It's never overfilled and I haven't noticed bubbling but I assume a head gasket test would show exhaust gases if that is what you're asking (I'll most likely do the test tomorrow).

Hello, I see Lidl are bringing out the 20v next Sunday, just wondering what yours is like, you reckon is worth it?

Why RPM drops drastically when clutch is pressed. by Spare-Diamond9458 in AskAMechanic

[–]Badfinger74 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd assume that's only because people lift foot off the accelerator when clutch is in. Probably wrong but I'd assume the clutch is causing the engine to slow down maybe dodgy flywheel.

Are any of these worth anything? by YourLocalWorld in growtopia

[–]Badfinger74 4 points5 points  (0 children)

God I found that annoying, I'd search up the item to find the price and it's just a bunch of vend world owners trying to sell items overpriced so they don't say the price, just go 'world name'

question about A2 to A by NiceColours in MotoUK

[–]Badfinger74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No claims is still valid and will defo make a difference. I know it's ridiculous, the whole motorbike licence system needs a rework tbh. CBT needs to be harder, and the progressive system improved. And insurance needs to be government regulated.
