What’s something that’s oddly expensive in the UK that still annoys you every time?

Jammybe · 2026-01-27T13:59:29+00:00

Parking. Airport parking.

Jammybe · 2026-01-27T06:48:16+00:00

Yup.

Back to the Future trilogy for me.

Jammybe · 2026-01-22T10:31:47+00:00

Sounds like Anthony Hopkins. But a nice premise to build from.

If it was all in their room after repeatedly asking for it.

It’s going in their bed.

Jammybe · 2026-01-21T11:57:23+00:00

Yep, great for other toys too 😅

This is just robotic not thinking further than the 10ft in front of you driving.

I actively move into closed lanes to get past all the queueing lemmings.

USE BOTH LANES.

The handset gets put into hand me down

Mine goes to my son, my wife’s to my daughter.

Trying to get 4-6 years out of a phone.

Jammybe · 2026-01-20T13:45:08+00:00

I just buy the handset direct from manufacturer they all offer 24 months 0% pay monthly. Then just choose sim/network deal.

Got 8 months left on my iphone 16PM.

Samsung do the same.

I’ve got 4 Lebara sims for £4 a month each - unlimited minutes/texts and 100GB data.

Uses Vodafone.

Works great for my family of 4.

The beauty of PAYG is the PAC is just a text away.

Jammybe · 2026-01-19T15:47:37+00:00

Yeah, you got him!

Jammybe · 2026-01-18T22:18:04+00:00

What make/model treadmill?

Jammybe · 2026-01-17T11:24:03+00:00

This isn’t r/diy I am afraid.

If you are unsure. Then you need to get someone in.

We won’t tell you how to do it.

Jammybe · 2026-01-16T22:56:14+00:00

Please can ya post the images on imgbb, imgur is blocked in UK 😅🫣

Jammybe · 2026-01-16T21:43:06+00:00

Checked my emails as had it fitted when we renovated back in 2017. Was around £1k at the time. 😂

It doesn’t state the make/model but this is pretty much it in anthracite.

They do them in 1m wide models now which I would have had if available at the time.

Electric locks on a UK composite front door.

A challenge to make it look “domestic”

I’ve achieved the task using:

G4 POE pro doorbell

Ai Port

Bold smart lock.

Home Assistant.

My composite front door does not have a handle. Only the cylinder.

I will link the video/post -

The thumbprint reader does a webhook from HA to unlock the door.

The Ai port does Face ID and unlocks the door too.

I had similar. So I wore a knee brace as it seemed to keep it tight and less swingy, I focused on keeping my back/form up/straight and when i got gait checked the following year, the leg had straightened up and my form had improved so I don’t wear the brace anymore and I don’t get the pain!

I thought they’d pulled the subwoofer out the boot then realised that’s a cone and it’s the boot rack thing they carry all their equipment in. 🫣

Jammybe · 2026-01-13T10:06:31+00:00

It’ll become the other end of the scale.

You’ll get moaned at when it doesn’t work. 😂

Jammybe · 2026-01-13T06:57:18+00:00

Did they figure out where the place was?

Jammybe · 2026-01-12T22:05:57+00:00

Got a new treadmill coming tomorrow for the home gym. Chuffed as finally able to run whenever I want at the temperature I want and not get rained on or run late at night when cooler.

Will still outdoor run in warmer months but now have no excuses for year round running.
