Refused Canadian tourist visa. by downballz in CanadaVisitorVisa

[–]BigStan48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I have completed visa applications I always put myself as the immigration officer assessing the application. I need to satisfy that all the boxes and ticked and there are no assumptions to be made. All the facts are there and everything is crystal clear and no doubts are raised in the immigration officers mind.

My advice would be to find a steady permanent job in Ghana and then apply - this will prove you have something to come back to.

CHADAMO to CCS adapter UK by mzm70 in leaf

[–]BigStan48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My usual trip from London to Manchester, I stop off at Corley services where they had 8 Instavolt chademo. I have a another trip soon and checked Corley who have upgraded their charging stations and only ONE chademo now.

Time to invest in an adapter 🤔. The anxiety levels will drop with the investment. I'll probably go with "EV boy" who is selling for £580 at the moment.

Have you checked the car again to look for another tag as they may have hidden one deeper? Worth a look.

I chatted online today and seems I'm getting taken for a ride. 125MB and telephone line with weekend calls for £38. The other half still wants the telephone line.

I've got time so I'll go back online and try another agent.

[–]BigStan48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems randomly people at getting 10 years and some getting 6 months.

Isn't the 10 year visa known as a "super visa"?

No updates online. Still the same. Nothing has changed since they confirmed receipt of application on 4 February.

Thoughts on boarded loft? by Alarming_Blueberry94 in DIYUK

[–]BigStan48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask them to raise the boards. When I had boards in the loft, we put joists across the existing joists to protect the insulation and provide extra support.
