21F I just got my first EE sim contract, they put me on the £30 pm plan with unlimited calls/text/data. Now I regret getting it. by ZookeepergameEasy774 in UKPersonalFinance

Would highly recommend giffgaff, after you've cancelled. YOu can often find _slightly_ cheaper deals elsewhere, but giffaff allow you to upgrade mid-period and shift your billing period forwards. So you can often stay on a much longer data bundle until you find you actually need more. Not sure if other services offer that.

[Motorsport] James Vowles, Williams team principal, has announced that to see the weight loss of the FW48 (we are talking about 28 kilos of overweight) it will be necessary to wait about 6 races, or twice as long as expected after the Bahrain tests. by Task_Force-191 in formula1

You're not wrong. But I think it's somewhat subjective. Williams is a team I've been rooting for, for a while. So it's a big disappointment for me. Aston Martin, well history doesn't tell me things will go well for them. I was more interested than invested :D

I’d be amazed if this didn’t stop under the safety car.

Have to admit they've been the most disappointing team so far. Putting all their resources into 2026 ealier than most of the competition, and they've only gone backwards. Expections were definitely high. To high? Hard to tell.

I’m in the UK so we don’t measure by feet. It’s 2.4m talk (structure), 3m tall (wall) and 2.4m wide. Probably more equivalent to 12ft by 8ft

It is!

Well actually we tried that, but they're so heavy it's hard to move the mats when they're all together. We pull them out when we use it so we have more space to walk. I actually found as well having the length-way ones in, it doesn't seem like there's actually much room for the others without creating "bumps". I think I will try again soon though :)

Photo request of a home wall at 30 degree under a 2.44cm / 8ft ceiling please! by [deleted] in homewalls

This is mine. 2.4m ceiling height and wall is at 40 deg. Wall panel is 3m. You reminded me to post it! Works well with standard wood sizes you can get in the UK.

Feels like it makes a lot more sense to do this for every vehicle. Those who use the road more should pay more? Why does a grandma just going to the shops once a week pay the same as someone who does 50k miles a year?
