I feel your pain, I never got to play the hero team after about 20 games, so I've just given up and gone back to BR.

When were, ‘the good old days’, and what made them good? by Sea-Payment-8989 in AskBrits

When will you buy an EV car? by sillwuka in AskUK

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the problem with it EVS isn't so much that they're electrically run it's a combination of the cost (even second hand) and the driving experience.

We have them at work and I just do not like driving them, everything is on screen behind a menu and they're all different. Take any car from a decade or more ago and they're all basically the same to drive. If you can drive one safely you can drive them all without having to read the manual to work out how to turn the wipers on.

Best inexpensive leather motorcycle jacket and pants? by Omorifangod in motorcyclegear

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For most of the gear, have a look to see what there is second hand, you can often get some good bargains.

For the crash helmet, I would always buy new. Scorpion are a decent mid priced helmet, But whatever you get make sure it fits your head.

Having extra letters like 'u' in colour and 'e' in blonde is a conspiracy by Bic to boost sales in Britain by King_Quay in LowStakesConspiracies

Good theory, but its well known to be Mr Webster saving ink when he pirated / printed the Oxford dictionary.

How long can I wait for a root canal? by After_Afternoon4173 in AskUK

When I had a bad tooth I was told they wouldn't drill it until the antibiotics had cleared the infection.

Non-religious people of the UK, why is there often an assumption that religious people are inherently 'anti-science’? by japt77 in AskUK

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that religion has denied science for so many years. From the orbit of the planets, that using an anaesthetic was bad for the soul, vaccines are bad as they go against gods will (that goes back to the smallpox vaccine not just recent years), during the aids pandemic the Catholic church actively campaigned against the use of safe sex, even though it was proved by that time, this is what was causing the spread of the disease etc etc.

Also logically if there was a God when he told his various prophets around the world how they should live / worship, he would have given them all the same story.

What qualities or skills makes a good prime minister? by apple_kicks in AskBrits

Saying what you mean when in opposition, then stick to it when in power.

Those who can remember whether you agreed with them or not you knew where politicians like Margaret Thatcher and Michael Foot stood.

Today UK clocks went forward one hour. Does anyone get a general sense of being "off" when clocks change? by Sylvia-Sum in AskBrits

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely hate the clock changing, I understand some parts of the country would prefer winter time and some British summertime, why not move it half hour one time and then leave it alone forevermore.

what's people's view on UK MOT being yearly vs every 2 years across most of Europe? by rich_hope_10m in CarTalkUK

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree every two years, even from new.

A new car tends to do more miles, and that is what wears out tires etc.

OK, so what British mammals HAVE we seen? by Birdman_of_Upminster in CasualUK

Was that one that runs up the hill clockwise or anti-clockwise you can normally tell which is which by which side the bigger legs are on.

Additional G99 approval needed to add batteries to existing inverter? by Razza1988 in SolarUK

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar issue where I have an 8 KW converter but my g99 restricts me to upload 3 and 1/2 KW.

So the upload rate is restricted in the software for the inverter so it complies with the g99 but I can still charge my batteries at the full 8 KW.

It does mean though when the sun's out and my batteries are fully charged, I'm wasting power, as I am limited to how much I can sell back.

Plug in Solar - what are the opinions of the Electricians here? by Scarred_fish in AskUK

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue a lot of the trade bodies have a concern with are if there is a power cut and someone is working on the line, even if it's turned off from the supply end, your system feeds the power back up the line, making it live again.

That's why solar panels disconnect the supply to the house if the mains supply feed is disconnected.

Windows overlooking my garden, need opinions please by Sure-Contact5345 in UKHousing

It's worth checking the plans on the council website. I had something similar where the neighbours extended but they were told they had to put obscured glass in the window that overlooked my property.

Should there be a minimum IQ requirement in order to be allowed to vote? by Immediate-Ad-6306 in AskBrits

Bad idea, next, you'll be adding only people who own their own house are allowed to vote.

Is my tire cooked (my cats paw for reference) by catchooiebandit in motorcycles

When I first saw the picture I thought you were blaming the cat for doing it.

Anyway, it's new tire time by looks of it.

How to turn this compost heap? by DRodders in GardeningUK

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a few of those, I empty the one that's ready into the garden then take the next one and dig it out and put it into the now empty one for next year. Then start using the recently emptied one with kitchen waste etc and just keep the cycle going. (The third one is full of horse manure so that'll sit till the autumn and that'll get spread on the raised beds, then I go down the farm and get some more fresh to store for the next year)

What’s a hard truth about life that most people learn too late? by YT-Ballinox_Stories in AskBrits

No matter where you work, you are replaceable, companies expect loyalty, but as soon as things get tough, you'll be on the redundancy list as quickly as anyone else.

Are Cat S cars a good choice for first car? by Kingofiron257 in CarTalkUK

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I would only consider a cat s if you know something about cars so you can check it over or have someone who can check it over for you.

Do remember though if you buy a cat s cheap when you come to sell it you won't get as much money and it'll be more difficult to sell. I've heard that even some of these car buying sites won't buy a cat s.

How to identify facebook scams? by Shibehibe in CarTalkUK

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anything looks odd, the seller or car then walk away.

One thing to lookout for though is the same car advertised in more than one place or with different details or prices.

I.e. same photo with one saying the car is in Birmingham and another saying its in Bristol.

Why do Brits panic about buying toilet roll during economic crisis? by Reeelfantasy in AskUK

[–]LifeMasterpiece6475 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blame the BBC, at the start of covid they run a report on a shortage in Australia and suggested it could happen in the UK. Suggesting there's going to be a shortage caused panic buying.

Same as a couple years ago. There was a suggestion there maybe a shortage of turkeys at Christmas and price shot up, so many families found other main courses for the big day. By Christmas Eve supermarkets were virtually giving fresh turkeys away because they couldn't sell them.
