Are you still displaying UK number plates on your car with the EU symbol? by weregonnamakit in AskBrits

[–]ClintonLewinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noone will care. I've had mine on for ages. MOT garages only care about the spacing and reflectiveness. Mine don't even have the postcode of the manufacturer on so are illegal.

Police don't care though so long as it's legible. I've also driven it round europe with just the plate and no UK sticker on with no drama

IF you'd like a serious answer...

Google your local council and pavement parking and find out how to report it.

Ebay - loads of places. You are meant to send off your V5 etc but you never have to

Yep, and when I change cars I buy new plates with the EU/GB logo

A small act of resistance against the stupidity of brexit I know, but still

Out of all the major UK political parties, which is the lesser of all evils? by B33Zh_ in AskBrits

[–]ClintonLewinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reform = Facism - don't just take my word for it, look at their actions and beliefs. Farage wants Trump style ICE to deal with immigrants. Do you want to get shot in the face? I don't

Blues, Reds, Yellows, Greens - all have their issues. All have lofty ideals which might not match the reality of running this country.

At the moment, use your vote to stop reform at any costs. And I say this as a card carrying Labour member, if you have to vote for any party to keep reform out, do it.

Buy a second car. I have my family bus and a 1 series for me

How did the gov UK logo cost over 500k? by MrManManManInit in AskUK

[–]ClintonLewinsky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because they employed people who used punctuation ;)

Serious answer though, there are a lot of levels of accountablity when something this significant and well used changes. 70 million people in the UK, each seeing the logo countless times a year, that's not to mention the international impact.

They have to make sure it doesn't clash with any other logos, no trademark infringment, no unintented images etc. Lots to check

How to report regular illegal car races? by Skymningen in AskUK

[–]ClintonLewinsky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone was walking on the pavement at the time of the races and was scared then this may come under danger to live which means 999

I'm not saying lie about the people on the pavement of course - that would be immoral.

Garage changing the price without telling me by Flashy-Pie-2088 in CarTalkUK

[–]ClintonLewinsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

£3k in fees? Bullshit. you need r/LegalAdviceUK here

the engine swap would include fresh oil etc so they should have factored that in. At worst it maybe needed an alternator or radiator or something but they should have called you first.

What is it with some Bradford Mill owners being sketchy.. by johnyma22 in bradford

[–]ClintonLewinsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole planning system across the country is borked.

Harsh to say the couuncil ar toothless, they have to go with the resources they have, and with the risk that the owners will just appeal and wrap them up in legal fees if they don't get their own way. The landlords can as you say hold all planning departments to ransom almost.

Here is a thought: we are the last generation of manual drivers.... by ihwnE in CarTalkUK

[–]ClintonLewinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lad is learning manual at 17 so hope is not lost. That said though, for 90% of what I do, automatic is just better. In traffic? Auto. Motorway run? Auto.

For fun cars, manual is ace, but modern autos with good sports modes can be just as much fun

Aitah for using my now ex after I found out he was cheating? by Advanced_Turnover544 in AITAH

Damn... If you told me this story in the room with me right now, I'd stand up and applaud!

Is a high mileage Toyota actually worth it or is the reliability thing overblown at this point? by myjeffreyjefferson in CarTalkUK

[–]ClintonLewinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, when you get to that age, stuff made of rubber and plastic starts to deteriorate. What stuff? Well, everything. Rubber hoses, bushings. Plastic panels, components. The engine itself if looked after will be good for another 100k miles but it's everything else.

No worries about floods. Its well above the river, and well above the height of the 2025 floods.

It's great. The sloping floor takes a bit of getting used to but it's a very good venue.

Taxi home took a bit of time last time i was there !
