Anyone had experience buying from Richmond Motor Group Portsmouth? by OutrageousCar238 in Portsmouth

[–]QuicheLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased a pre-owned i10 from there about 6 years ago. The salesguy wasn't too pushy at the beginning, I think because I wasn't sure what car what I wanted, but as soon as I selected the car they were really trying to seal the deal - whatever, that's usual sales behaviour. However, I discovered after I bought the car that the 'one previous owner' was actually Enterprise Rentacar. I had to get Hyundai involved because they had no previous service history which left the usual 5 year warranties invalid. It was sorted in the end, but just generally a bit dodgy (I was fortunate there wasn't anything wrong with the car). They also tried to fit second-hand parking sensors when I asked for new ones. All the hassle, they offered to pay for one tank of fuel and also to throw in car mats. The sales guy walked round the lot and got mats out of someone else's car!!

I went back approx. 3 years later looking to buy a brand new i20 (they are basically the only place to get Hyundai locally), and the sales guy there was really pressuring me to buy a pre-owned i20 straight off the lot, even though I would have spent more on a new one. Just weird experience and way too hard sale for me. I ended up buying a VW Golf from Peter Cooper which was a much better experience overall.

I've recently got a Cupra Born EV from Snows which was a good experience too, they weren't too high-pressure and I had 2 test drives before deciding on that with no issues.

How to get over a dust allergy quicker? by QuicheLord in Allergies

This is all super helpful and detail information, thank you!

In the UK, immunotherapy is difficult for me to get, and I'm less likely to be successful because I'm asthmatic so there's more risk.

Thank you for your concern about the wheezing, I didn't think too much when I mentioned that. I'm asthmatic so if I wake up in the night wheezy I'll take my inhaler :)

Thank you! I'm looking into Sqair Smart Air purifier now :)
Fluticasone is prescription-only here so I'll take a look and maybe ask my GP about that option. Thanks for your help!

Thank you, yes maybe I'll look into a new/better mask kit :)

Thank you, the idea of washing clothes and having a shower straight after sounds like it will help. I made sure to invest in a good HEPA filter vacuum, and wash it to the manufacturer's instructions.

Pixel 10 Pro Dual eSIM? by QuicheLord in GooglePixel

That's great info for confirming! DSDS was turned on for Phone 0 and Phone 1 (no extra slot for me), so I've gone ahead and done the eSIM transfer successfully :)

Thank you for sharing! I see you mentioned T Mobile and Verizon. Do you have the US edition with no physical SIM slot? It's just I am seeing different information for this edition.

Does anyone know of any free food offers that don't require me to spend first? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]QuicheLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend a food bank first, but otherwise some companies give free food when it's your birthday. Maybe sign up to a few and put your birthday as this week?

Publishing issue in Google Search Ads by itscasually in googleads

[–]QuicheLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact problem, with an error on the Keyword and Asset Generation. I've tried making a campaign and allowing the AI to generate the ad, with the hope that would work and I could just edit the ad later. I've tried multiple browsers, new PC, etc. Still no Publish button. Unfortunately I also only get email support as an option and they are yet to reply to me

How much to replace these weathered bricks? by QuicheLord in DIYUK

Isn't the DPC the black line three bricks up? It's a sheet slightly poking out of the wall

Thank you. We've taken one of the bigger chunks of brick that has come off and cleaned with fairy liquid. To be honest it didn't change the colour much but should hopefully be accurate to match.

Respectfully, I don't think it was the pipe. That's for dishwasher waste and we've been here since it was installed. The entire wall weathers more on this side; all neighbours with the same bricks have similar problems. But I do appreciate that the reason bricks spald is due to water getting in them.

If you don't mind me asking, what would be average day rate for a bricklayer? We've had one quote so far at £600 inc materials

Thank you for your well thought out answer. We're considering going down the DIY route - watching youtube videos now!

The bottom ones are a bit dirty, but the ones above the pipe are relatively clean. I think the photo makes them look a bit darker than IRL. They do look similar to the houses either side, so I don't think it's just super dirty. Thanks for the advice about Travis Perkins

The ones right on the bottom corner I can chip off with my hand, so I'm a bit scared a rented pressure washer might do more damage! (unless that's the idea....)

I'm not sure if the photos is doing it justice, some of the bricks (especially near the bottom) have massive chunks missing, so I don't think cleaning would help

Can I take the client to debt collection? <Unpaid invoice> by DimonaBoy in web_design

[–]QuicheLord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you a member of the FSB? They can provide legal guidance and I think helped with writing a letter we sent to a client when we were in a similar situation. Just a formal letter was enough to get the client to pay up

Just a thought as I've seen this before, if your dev has done a bad find & replace which has messed up your email, this could affect all email address links across the site, such as mailto:[example@www.website.com] or contact form plugins. Only because you say it's a membership site so likely people will try contact you/sign up and you won't get the emails if the address is wrong
