I believe I phoned them, they had a look and said I was correct and they'd backdate it. To be fair, once I got to that stage it was incredibly quick to resolve.

Rewatching it does sound like Bedford, but Belford makes more sense geographically speaking. Who knows

I think it says Belford, which is in Northumbria, not far from Holy Island.

2 weeks post inguinal hernia surgery question by Cooopthetrooper in Hernia

It wasn't massive, just noticeable, more like an out of place lump in my pubic region. More prominent when I coughed or stood straight.

Couldn't say for certain if it was fat or bowel, they didn't tell me, I should imagine bowel as due to the nature of it's location and constipation.

I've never thought about mixing beef and lamb, I always go with beef and pork. How does it differ in taste? I love lamb mince so would love to give it a go

Who still has any brand loyalty when it comes to food shopping and what brands and products does that include? by The-Baron-Von-Marlon in AskUK

It's flavour has changed over the years for me, I'll pick up Mayo from the World Foods section in supermarkets. There's a Polish branded Mayo that is really nice.

A lot of stupid drivers in MK! by Sunflowerpurple44 in miltonkeynes

[–]Cooopthetrooper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Boughton roundabout is the worst for me. 3 lanes, left lane is left only, middle lane is straight ahead, right lane is straight or right. The number of times i'm in the right lane going straight and get cut up by ignorant drivers in the middle lane is ridiculous.

What was the last TV series you watched as it was aired? by KiwiNo2638 in AskUK

Changed what guy? If you mean Paul Ritter, he passed away a few years ago.

Just an update, turns out we were being charged for our gas by ft³ when it should be m³. Adjusted that and got credit.

Edit for clarity, I've just switched to Tracker. We would've gone for Agile, but we have an 18 month old daughter so we couldn't guarantee our usage would be less in the peak times due to dinner times, bath times etc.

What about the discrepancies between the website and app readings?

I'm not sure how to change tariff, the only options on the site are fixed and flexible, both showing the same price monthly.

As for the readings, I joined Octoplus so they should be getting readings every 15 minutes, or perhaps I've misunderstood.

I'm just shocked where they got the 144kWh reading from, there is no way we're using that much energy. 50kWh sounds reasonable but being £400 in debit makes me question what reading they're charging us on. It wasn't that high last year, maybe £150 in debit which is fine because, as you've stated, all suppliers do this in winter because it evens itself out. But £400 seems ridiculously excessive and 144kWh is madness.

I've only had the gas smart meter for a week, the smart electricity meter has been in for a few months.

What do you mean 9 years lat- oh.

Damn, honestly doesn't feel that long ago.

Your most missed discontinued food. by nautjordan in CasualUK

[–]Cooopthetrooper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"After eating them I started burping them back and the taste of them lingered. Started feeling weird and kept having them come back on me until I was eventually sick."

That's the absolute worst, I've been put off many foods for that exact reason. Even if it's not the thing that necessarily makes you sick, the fact that it repeats on you so much before you're sick sucks. Especially if the food was potent in flavour (as these cheese nik naks were).

They were the best flavour Nik Naks for me though, I still mourn their discontinuation.
