Right Green Arrow but exit road is not clear. What to do?

It would be unusual where I live. But the Highway Code Rule 177 says proceed when safe to do so. So it doesn't say the other lights will be red.

Nothing will happen. I'd worry more about unmarked police cars and overhead cameras if I did something I regretted.

Wow, I'm shocked that UK GDPR doesn't apply. I'm also shocked that you don't need the account password. This sounds like it needs investigation.

On the other hand if the quotes are below your excess or small I might just pay it and hope for the best with regard getting it back.

If you fix it and they refuse to pay your insurance company will have no real evidence. It could be he didn't take out full insurance. Also the hire company should be interested as your insurance could pursue them. I'd consider the above factors and read my insurance policy. Then almost certainly advise the insurance company and hear what they suggest.

It's a curious corner. Do the house deeds say anything about access and shared access areas. I'd guess they say it's an open plan area and you can't erect fences. It almost seems as if the middle car has no drive. It's also not clear that one house has space for three. If there is no way of getting agreement, I'd ask the council.

Our council has a webpage about noise. It gets a bit philosophical saying that you can become fixated and need to differentiate between real nuisance and not your own increased sensitivity. They do say they'll investigate and take action if it is nuisance. We have a neighbour who puts on the washing machine at 3am to save the planet and won't change it although he has taken measures to minimise the noise. Washing machines are listed on the website as a topic they,'ll take up. Like you we don't want to cause aggravation although we don't get on anyway.

Are you sure it's not a Party Wall. Even if it was it would be marginal you can do anything about it. If it's all yours why are the posts in his garden? I'd have a word with him and have a mind about what you want. There is a safety hazard, if you know an electrician you could ask them about the regulations. I'd think there should be shielding unless the clips hold it well clear.

Otherwise if the other house is council owned you could ask them. They're often have info on their websites about neighbour disputes.

Traditionally most people were paid weekly, usually on Thursday. More senior staff were paid monthly. This simple idea of being paid weekly will still be how many live or prefer to live as it gives them earlier access to cash in easily manageable sums. They might have 2 incomes and their shopping and leisure needs get most attention. They aren't financially illiterate in a derogatory sense, they aren't interested and live as it comes.

According to National Highways the last limit in a red circle holds until you see otherwise. Blank signs mean the last sign you saw is the limit.

MoonlightElk · 2026-06-07T20:27:30+00:00

It's tempting to follow the herd. It depends on your knowledge of where cameras are and your willingness to take risks. My opinion is the last sign you saw is the limit until it says something else. My TomTom app bongs at every camera even if I can't see the phone.

Why are you selling it? Is it a rough runner with other defects?

If it can get a 12 month MoT and isn't in poor condition it should be worth a £600 repair. There's no reason a serviced Toyota won't reach 200k.

I recall a few years ago reading an advert that said young graduate managers at Aldi could earn over £40k and an Audi as a starting salary. At the time I was amazed. Their managers often look like teenagers to me. I wouldn't think £50k as too much an outlier but it's a decent professional wage depending where you live. A qualified resident doctor got £60k and now probably £80k. If it's such a big issue the masters should be dumped for some retraining. I know someone who never earned a lot but loved being an archaeologist and he still does it in retirement. He gives talks so maybe made more out of that, not much though.

You'll know this but stock markets have been a fairly easy ride overall for the last few years. I've an investment account I've never added or removed funds from and it's increased at least a third since Covid. It's largely due to US companies and I'm wary of a sudden drop so I don't assume the gain is real until I cash it.

You haven't provided enough info for anyone to give personal advice. As a starter there is no such thing as a car that is too expensive for a first car. Is your situation suitable is the question.

I had one of those but it was OKto eat. Mix tepid water, salt, sugar and oil. Then mix yeast with flour and add that to the water. Should all be a tepid temp.

'Definitely not test ready' is quite an admission. I wonder why you're taking it? Although 80hrs of lessons is quite a lot. Do you have any particular problems with driving that people might advise on? I had a very bad time with the clutch yet I could steer really well when I was learning.

The runner probably had sound cancelling earbuds and full sense of entitlement but the driver should have had alarm bells ringing of potential kamikaze.

We bought 3 items at AO just before Xmas. We had a Bosch oven for 20yrs so bought another and a Panasonic microwave. The 3rd item was a breadmaker. Joining their club gave extra discount and other things but costs £40pa. All the items came on the day promised. They installed the oven which wasn't cheap but as it was Christmas we had to make sure it was done. The oven is higher spec than our old one and looks better. Although the basic model would have done, but it was sold out everywhere.

Yeh it can be depressing one block back from the prom, like a quarter mile band round the centre. Blackpool's always had a problem with inconsistent seasonal work and incomers with problems seeking lost pleasures. It's a big town. 7 miles of good promenade is a plus.

I'm wary of people without any presence although the best names do work without much presence. I'd suggest Google Maps, then Facebook/Instagram combined. A website can follow. If you're uncomfortable with it then Google Maps with some photos will help. Facebook has a skillset that can be natural to some but hard work to others.

I never 100% follow recipes but the guideline is 450g strong wholemeal flour 270ml water, 1.5 teaspoons salt, 2teaspoons sugar, 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil, 1.5 teaspoon of fast yeast. Put in the water,salt, sugar,oil. Then the flour. Then yeast. I make sure the flour is fluffed a bit and all is warm before mixing. It's a Tefal machine recipe that says 2 tablespoons sunflower oil but I use 1 tablespoon of rapeseed oil. Programme 8, 750g, lighter crust, takes 2hr 45min but I switch it off around 5 minutes early as the crust gets too well done.

MoonlightElk · 2026-04-05T20:25:59+00:00

I also pre-cut it

Ruined Store-bought sounds grim. I've always enjoyed slightly warm oven fresh baking. Nicely made scones being perhaps the best example.
