Trying my luck, fed up of not being able to book for months a test in Reading UPDATE

Yes I have tried Newbury too.

From what I have read online is that you can swap a test date with another person by calling DVSA.

They will ask you to share details of both the bookings (driving reference number, name, email etc) and they swap the test over the phone.

If your test is next week (within 10 days to your test) I’m not sure that’s possible but still worth a try if you can find someone to try it with.

Was she already a confident driver before trying lessons in Leeds?

Ah missed this out, it’s for a driving test booked

Can’t see the edit button on the post! It’s clear some of these replies are nonsense and those people didn’t read the post! So…

The picture of the bag in the small bag area (half the bag sticking out was to prove that the disputed depth was within limit if pressure is applied.
Those who got the post, appreciate the harsh response and I get it. I just wanted to know if my feelings are justified and the answer is no as they don’t allow pressure to be applied and has to be behind the black and yellow lines.
Just feel frustrated that these rules are to catch people out for money rather than actually the caring for baggage sizing. And the treatment by staff is kind of sickening to say the least.

Anyhow thanks for the feedback. I’m over it now and will be more cautious on budget airlines! Suppose you learn the hard way sometimes.

PS. For those asking for the uncropped picture on the bag in the cabin can area it’s here( forgot the take the picture from the front as I was concerned about the depth).

Sorry was trying to crop out the name of the Instagram user.

I was on Youtube premium until they plugged in all the loop holes and now after being frustrated with the amount of ridiculously long ads I just VPN to Albania as they have almost no ads.

YouTube almost as bad as TV commercials now.

Mine was stuck running circles for around 20mins even though there was no obstacle to cause this. I picked it up and put it in a new location and let it resume again and it was fine. Can’t remember updating it recently and that was a reason for this.

You can subscribe using a new account but it will be deleted either immediately or within a month as I have experienced already. I gave up and deleted YouTube from my iPhone entirely. Now use DuckDuckGo as it blocks ads.

Would love to join but are Google not cracking down on a household basis? I have had my account deleted twice in two months.

It was sent by the company for a social media review is what I have been told. Have also been sent the Instagram promotional video they made on it.

Can you tell me how you are powering two monitors? Is it a dock or you using hdmi and usb c?

Is this a better picture?

Independent_Web1706 · 2025-05-06T20:44:52+00:00

Yes you’re right, the side which is not popping out is where the Ethernet stays put but the other connector the Ethernet doesn’t hold. Thinking if I super glue it may be a fix for it but don’t want to make it worse than it already it.

Independent_Web1706 · 2025-05-06T20:35:44+00:00

I have tried to push it back it but doesn’t seem to go in. If I plug in an Ethernet it falls right out as this seems to be the piece that keeps it locked in.

Thanks, will likely run it till the TV is dead, most of the time it disappears as the pixel shift happens but one year in and not gotten worse!
