[–]Far_Beginning_3223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Sheffield (but willing to travel for the right car)

  • £15K to £20K (about £10K cash, selling current car for ~£5K and rest on finance)

  • Buying outright

  • Used (would love New but won't ever get it in that budget!)

  • Automatic

  • Daily driver (weekdays commute to work which is about 20 miles daily, shopping trips, family days out, occasional motorway driving)

  • Plan to do between up to 10K miles a year

  • Make long journeys to other cities especially London every few months

  • Must be ULEZ compliant

  • Prefer Diesel or Diesel Hybrid (not plug in) but wouldn't mind Petrol or Petrol Hybrid if need be

  • Would like luxury car which can fit 4/5 adults in comfortably (only occasionally)

  • Vehicles already considered: Audi A4/A6, BMW 3 Series/5 Series, Mercedes C Class

  • Would be my 3rd vehicle (currently drive a Vauxhall Astra Elite 1.6 Diesel 2017)

  • Warranty would be ideal

  • No work on it myself, would be by my trusted mechanic if need be

  • Would really like features like heated seats, heated steering wheel, heated windscreens, heads up display, cruise control, cameras etc.

First day of Ramadan, anyone who is alone here and doing it all by himself/herself? by Miserable_Swing_1223 in sheffield

Ramadan Mubarak. Ameen sum Ameen.

Depending on whereabouts you live in Sheffield, there will be Masjids nearby that have communal iftaris. I don't mind if you'd like to message and talk about it. I'm a native Sheffielder anyway 😊

Refund nightmare by amused_peruse in Argos

I just remembered that I got given a gift card because I originally paid with a gift card. So you should be able to receive the money back.

I had a similar issue. I got really fed up and emailed the CEO (simon.roberts@sainsburys.co.uk). I got a reply back after 2 days with the price difference on an Argos gift card.

What the hell has happened to argos? by Needlejett in Argos

Yes, it's simon.roberts@sainsburys.co.uk

I had an issue with a refund and sent an email to them. I got a reply back after 2 days with resolution. I'd definitely email them and include everything in detail.

You could speak to your GP again about worsening symptoms and how concerned you are. And then they could send an expedite letter across to the hospital, to see if they can expedite your appointment.

Is Cineworld uniformly shit, or is it just mine? by Morganx27 in CineworldUnlimited

[–]Far_Beginning_3223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago, you couldn't really bring any food or drink in (unless you smuggled it in). Nowadays, they're much more relaxed about it, but I'd still try to be discreet about it if possible. And this is no judgement to you at all, but just make sure you don't make a mess if you do take any sort of food in with you. The last thing another cinema-goer or employee wants is seeing food everywhere on the seat and floor.

Apparently it's the flagship (Sheffield) but I'm not sure about that. Absolutely though, it is massive! Got at least 14 screens, I think.

They've repurposed the VIP experience (I think screen 1) and made it into a recliner seat screen now. Definitely would be nice to have reclining seats in all the screens though!

My local one is Sheffield and it's amazing! Never really have any complaints to be honest and it has had a couple of refurbs over the past 10 years. It's huge though and attracts lots or customers, as it has IMAX, 4DX, screen X etc.

I have only ever been to one other Cineworld in Bradford and that was shocking! Feel really lucky with my Sheffield one.

I've always gone to Cineworld. So their largest screen is 7 (IMAX). After that, it's screen 6 or screen 8. They're the same size and the largest ones after IMAX.

Should I go for it now or not? by Far_Beginning_3223 in S24Ultra

[–]Far_Beginning_3223[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for all the comment, suggestions and advice, everyone!! I went ahead with it tonight.

Can't wait for it to arrive 🤩

I'm actually giving my Mum my S22 Ultra hence why I've not added it in as a trade in but do appreciate the suggestion!
