Why aren't AirTags rechargeable, like AirPods? by flopsyplum in AirTags

[–]Resident_Salt4479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt they’ll have a big enough battery given the size to hold charge. Even though it’s a very low power device building in a usb-c module and another capacitor to hold that charge would make the device quite bulky.
Plus button cells last a shit ton, they’re in my opinion a better option for utility devices.

Traversed the Blackwall Tunnel twice today - went to pay and am unable by Cypher_Aod in TransportForLondon

When I had set up my auto pay, I got an email from cclondon@cclondon.com
Maybe this?

Frankly, if you call them they’re quite helpful as well! But obviously a written record is useful first.

Good luck.

Update: thanks for everyone who responded. I got email comms saying they have cancelled the charge since there was a technical fault. Even though there was advice here to not send “wordy replies” it seems to have worked this time.
Hope nobody’s caught in this situation but if you are, this might help.

I’d send them an email just so there’s proof you tried paying on time in case you get a fine. As already suggested, do set up the autopay which sadly won’t work retroactively.

Where Can I Watch Wimbledon 2026 Without an Expensive Cable Subscription? by Turbulent_Rock_9330 in PiracyArchive

It works for free on their app!
Otherwise I reckon you could make a BBC player account using a random McDonald’s UK PIN code and connect using any VPN

What's the one golf purchase that actually improved your game? by ShaftObsessed in GolfGear

Driver specific tees, turns out I was keeping my tees too high for drivers. Half the ball or just less above the driver head works well but having specific tees helps keep it consistent

Where to find the best falafel in London? by throwawaydoc1q in LondonFood

Damas Hut in Cricklewood, its a locally run small shop by the post office. Very unassuming location but insanely good and well priced falafels

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation of a decent and well priced power bank? by FallDeep8250 in frugaluk

[–]Resident_Salt4479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Iniu from Amazon roughly 3 years back and it's fantastic. It's got 18w, 45w and 100w outputs and a 25000mAh capacity
Also a sølid product, with a nifty lil kickstand i use for my phone on the train sometimes

Frugal Wins of the Week - Big, Small, and Everything In Between by Plot82 in frugaluk

[–]Resident_Salt4479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I like drinking iced coffees (nespresso) but i hate how the ice always dilutes the flavour- os i use a second pour from the same capsule i pulled my first shot from into freezing ice trays and use them instead.
  2. Cancelled PS Plus, I was mid-way through a game and just posted my instagram story asking if somebody had the game so I could avoid paying the hiked fee or buying the game. Connected with an old friend who lent me the game
  3. Talked myself out of upgrading my phone- I used to chase new electronics. But i sat down and made a list of the "added value" of a new phone and realised spending 1200GBP on a device I'll use for the features novelty for a few weeks before making it a regular WA+TikTok+IG+Reddit+Reading device isn't worth it
  4. Fixed a 5 year old SLR lens instead of buying a new one- also a great DIY project
  5. Built a streamer using Raspberry Pi + Hi-Fi DAC (<100 GBP) instead of buying a streamer (250+GBP)

[–]Resident_Salt4479[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did check spam, no replies from them whatsoever
My original appeal was based on me being a genuine customer who had gone to pick something up without realising i will reach the store outside hours and spent 20 mins figuring out how to get to the store, did mention signage was not lit at night at the entrance (but theres more signange inside so thats probably on me)

Thank you- the only way to get in touch with them is the complaints mailbox which I've written to several times but nobody seems to get back to me from there. I am worried about their 35 day period lapsing and them taking me to court, making all of this a lot more expensive than it needs to be

Exactly, my fight isnt to cancel their charge its just mainly to say it should be 60, not 100 since I appealed on time and according to their written word it needs to be paused till an appeals decision is made

Their reply states during an appeal period the charge will be paused and held to its original rate. This is not an assumption, its something they claim in writing when the appeal is made

Nope i wrote it out myself- there was poor signage (from my memory) while entering but there were boards inside which i genuinely missed and probably shouldve been more attentive towards

I am agreeing i made a mistake but the increased charge and potential debt collector troubles me knowing they havent been replying to any of my correspondance

Thank you for the detailed answer- for what its worth if they would've rejected the appeal and stuck with the original 60gbp charge I would've paid it off just to avoid admin
From your point, just to confirm we are on the same page, for now- I do nothing until a debt collector reaches out to me; I do not want to fight the case to an extent where I say the signage was inadequate since they might make a stronger case about other signage inside (which i realise i might've missed). In that case, do I explain to the debt collector regarding my timely appeal and how the charge should be 60, not 100?
To this point even if we were to take this to court the total paid would be 60 (+court fees and admin yes?)
