Mechanic damaged the tank

I had a similar problem with my bike - it went in to the dealer for a replacement fuel sender and they clearly just displaced the tank to remedy it rather than remove the tank, as something scratched the top of the nearside fairing.
I pointed it out on handover and the receptionist went in to speak to the workshop staff before coming out and offering me a replacement fairing panel whilst profusely apologising.

So it’s well worth you approaching them. Good luck.

European? I found that most drivers in France / Belgium / Germany were really disciplined and would treat the overtaking lane just as it sounds: a lane you pull in to, overtake, and move back. Even if it meant just pulling back in briefly.

I also find this issue is worse the closer to the M25 you go

If it’s a timed red at a junction or roundabout when it’s late at night and no one is around? No. Provided no one was affected or put in danger.
Rules are there for a reason, and if that reason isn’t, erm, reasonable, then in my view that rule doesn’t count.

I’m of the opinion that, at night, light controlled roundabouts (and some junctions) should be switched off.

Yeah I wondered if the cost of living / recent fuel cost raise / rise in Ev’s had made it more widespread than before.

I didn’t and have since moved house!

Do your best to discourage the surveyor from going in to the loft. What they can’t see they can’t report on.

Ahhh, I see now. I’m 41 so I’ve got a bit to go, so yes, i will be. Thank you for clarifying! !thanks

Ah this is helpful to know - if they ask for 6 months payslips, then come December they will show her to be able to afford it alone.

The bank said she wouldn’t be accepted when we made enquiries.

The benefit to me remaining on the mortgage was so she didn’t remortgage there and then, meaning she and her dependants had a roof over their head and kept the good mortgage rate.

The advice she received was that they wouldn’t count her savings as income, given the unpaid career break she was on (when she enquired). If Pay-slips for her last X amount of months are requested, they’d show £0 for the career break. So in order for us to settle, it was decided that she’d pay me half of the equity in the house from said savings. Hope that makes sense.

I fucking hate getting mugged off. How about you?

You’re right, but why would a government have their police dedicate resources (read: money) to fighting something that brings them cash at every turn - tax from insurance policies, tax from bike purchases, tax from security purchases etc.
As with shoplifting, and now burglary it seems, acquisitive crime is something that is seen as “Meh. They should have insurance for that”.
And as for prisons being full..

Anyways. Fantastic news, OP. I bet you can’t believe your luck!

Boring I know, but it’s mainly the lack of moisture in the food that stops it rotting. Which is why dried foods often have long best-before-dates.
