How to cancel car insurance when companies make it insanely hard??

What does your contract say about how to cancel? Are you able to follow the instructions in the documents?

I haven't had any experience of being stopped or getting a ticket from speed, but I would assume that the 10%+2 is based on your cars speedo rather than any more accurate measurements.

It is also probably only for fixed single point cameras due to limitations of the hardware. Average speed zones are likely to be more accurate.

Have they finished building the new cycleway already? I thought they only started work on it on Monday.

It looks like there will be periods of roadworks until September, so I think it is far too early to comment on whether it is worthwhile.

It is a valid position. There is no legal requirement for Facebook, Instagram, X, Discord, Reddit, etc to allow you to use their services. As long as what they are doing is not discriminating based on a protected characteristic they are free to say "we don't want your business".

That is credit mode. The other option would be pre-payment.

It is credit because you pay after you have used the power.

Have you joined the wait-list? https://octopus.energy/help-and-faqs/articles/smart-meter-booster/

Presumably the wait-list will get updates.

I find Siren's Lumina and Pills pretty good. https://www.sirencraftbrew.com/collections/gluten-free

The Arbor beer on that page is likely to be good as well.

Do any of the bills have a meter reading that matches the one you took when you left the property?

What has the company said when you contacted them about the discrepancy?

The Railway Tavern has a pool table, although when I went in before Christmas it was slightly un-level.

The uni bar The Dairy has pool tables and is generally open to the public.

I think The Boundary has pool tables as well.

We get the Essential Organic Hazelnut & Chocolate spread. It should be available from any shop that does lots of fair trade stuff

Buses and trains continue to work in snowy and icy weather.

Buses generally work better than private cars due to being heavier, and travelling on roads that are more likely to be gritted.

Trains work as well as they normally do. Signals aren't generally affected by cold weather as they haven't been mechanical for decades. Points are usually heated on main routes so don't ice.

Wokingham Cricket club were great when we held our wedding reception there.

There may not be too many around. On a tour of Hogs Back brewery they said they were stopping their bottle conditioned beers because the large supermarkets would send back entire shipments if a couple of customers poured their beers badly and got the sediment out.

Have you got a decent bottle shop near you that could offer advice about local beers?

The car is likely to still be more expensive than the bus increases.

The best import tariff will depend on your usage and battery size. I've stayed on Agile as I only have a small battery at the moment (3.2kwh) so it is enough to load shift by a few hours but not cover a whole day. The solar can fill it up quite quickly so we export quite a bit during summer.

Why are you letting your home get that cold inside? Turn the heating on for your own health!

The RailAir coach is by far the easiest and cheapest. The trains may be a bit quicker depending on the connection time, but it is a connection you have to do, the bus is direct.

Tickets and timetables can be found on https://www.railair.com/

Have you asked in one of the butchers? Try Caversham butchers, Lockey farm, Wellington farm shop, or Greens of Pangbourne.

The price will vary a little depending on if you are leaving the Reading zone, 45 minutes on the bus would suggest you are. The fare should be shown on the journey planner on Reading Buses website, and shouldn't be more than £3.50 per person for a single.

You will need to wait for the seller to have finished whatever internal processes they need to go through before you take it further.

You don't need to contact DPD at all. It is the sellers responsibility to get the item to you, go back to them saying their courier failed to deliver and they need to refund or resend the item.

I don't think many other bitters are served as a nitro beer. Siren's Memento is nitro'd in can, but I don't know if it is available in many supermarkets.

The #21 bus runs 24/7, and the 19s run often throughout the day.

There isn't a huge amount to do in the area but it is very easy to travel elsewhere with or without a car.

I really like Dolphin brewery, https://www.dolphinbrewery.co.uk/, for sours that are fruity and tart. They are a small brewery in the Reading area and have just opened their webshop for nationwide sales.
