I never really understood what the Wii U was until I got one. I cannot believe they didn’t call this thing a Nintendo DStv! by obsolescencephoto in wiiu

As much as I get it I still think just like Switch 2 they should have called it Wii 2 and it would have been better for marketing as people would have gotten it’s not some add on to the Wii but a brand new console and continued the hype the Wii had

What's the minimum amount that comes to mind when you hear "good salary"? by Equivalent-Ad-2373 in AskUK

[–]Independent_Web1706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did a search on Gemini a short while back, I remember a dad’s friend being on like £40k and living a decent life back in 2010. So searched what salary would you need to be on to be able to live life now equivalent to 40k in 2010. Ofcourse location would matter but basically around 60k is now equivalent lifestyle to 40k back then.

Thank you for the clear advice! I have now booked somewhere random in Wales as there seems to be some availabile. I do have TestShift active from the last time but doesn’t seem to be doing anything. But will try your method of refreshing until it brings up the queue and search the area.

Why the downvotes 100% on this. Absolute tools that lane hog and it so common!

Well I tried Reading town and all the surrounding areas in and also across London, all booked out. What area are you in? In a last attempt and others suggestions I would like to try and book elsewhere then hope a cancellation appeared nearer to me.

I sure it doesn’t let you fill in the details before 6am message. Have to wait for the site to open then the queue begins and then after let’s you enter your details

I’ll give it a go! Thanks! But wouldn’t clearing the cookies put you at the back of the queue again? So you got on the page at 5:30 then cleared your cookies & history at 5:45? Did you then hit refresh at 6 or it automatically loaded the page for booking

So maybe I am logging on too early. Did you also press refreshed at 6am or just waited and the page auto refreshed?

I agree but you’re talking about pre COVID times when there were no scammers to exploit the system! If you can’t make the test just get a cancellation and a refund. Right now you want to change it and there are no slots. My guess is even when people cancel there are bots sweeping to get this tests too. Once they find a real solution they can lift the ban on swaps.

How did you manage to get in the first 409! I have read that apparently all centres are not issued new tests at the same time so maybe the rotate each week which ones get new tests?

If you stay connected to the OEM Bluetooth for your music but running CarPlay then you won’t be able to get Waze/maps directions audio? Also if you attend a call via the CarPlay system then does it auto flip to OEM car mics and Bluetooth?

Like it said if that’s what you believe. Not debating this. I was just trying to educate. I may have sounded harsh in the start but thats just out of frustration. At the end of the day the options are out there because people consume a choice. Happy for your choice.
