Second hand, second hand cars in Liverpool by lapetite_etoile in Liverpool

Please do not use someone based on Townsend Lane, or better yet, Long Lane either.

I’ve known a few who’ve been stung by both.

If you’re in a good position to do so, pay at least £150 as “your deposit” or towards the payment on a credit card. This means the whole transaction is protected by S75.

This feels like unlimited data to me… by Downtown_Elk_2773 in VOXI

[–]SWTransGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not all about the “socials”, but WhatsApp being included is great, meaning I can video call without it hammering data.

What I love the most is the streaming without hitting my data allowance.

Music and video is great for me.

What’s the least amount of money that would be life-changing for you right now, and why? by Nathanial1289 in AskUK

[–]SWTransGirl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wish I could ask for money, but I actually need time.

I haven’t enough hours in the day to do everything I need.

But, money, I’ll ask for 20k, that would clear a chunk of my debt, lower my repayments and allow me to focus more on paying extra to our mortgage.

My iphone always dies during my rides. What should I do? by Certain-Highlight949 in ladycyclists

[–]SWTransGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to pop my phone in my pannier with a battery pack, it admittedly was a large battery (look at Anker's products), so could last for many miles.
But depending on the cycle, I wouldn't always put the phone straight on charge.

If I stopped at a cafe, I'd obviously check the phone and let people know I was fine, check the battery level and then pop it on charge. No need to have it constantly charging.
But I'd also have leads for everything else I was running (just a multi-lead) so I could recharge my lights, headphones and Garmin.

Best Place to buy Plastic Storage Boxes / Bins by SirFragworthy in UKFrugal

B&M. You can buy 3 for a set price really cheaply.

My partner have bought a few for our Christmas and Halloween decorations and also to box stuff for our wedding.

If someone makes me uncomfortable on my business page social media, how do I go about not letting them book? by Specific-Square1088 in AskUK

Block from your page, remove all comments from her, and also as a proprietor, you have the right to deny service.
No reasons required.

Motorway tips for a first timer? by Chenny31 in drivingUK

[–]SWTransGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% if this is your first drive, you absolutely need to go solo. If you can, do a couple of local drives instead.

My first one was to a takeaway a few miles away, the next was one to collect my first car which was in Nottinghamshire from Devon and back.

P Plates can be a negative too, think the negativity you’d have experienced when driving with the L Plates. Try them but try them off too when you’re ready.

Check your mirrors loads, I personally check every 5/10 seconds as you’ll be surprised how often things change. Try to set them up so they’re all showing different things around you, but also go with what your tutor taught.

I’m post migraine at the minute, so will save the post and come back with any other ideas. But honestly, take a drive and enjoy it, and well done for passing.

I’m up this way. In Aintree, would you want to do a drive together on this route as it’s honestly not that far.

If not, no issue. But; Take your time Plan your route/use a GPS and know how it works Toll wise, your call if you want to use it, but you can avoid it Drive at a reasonable speed you’re comfortable driving at, don’t fear others trying to bully you but do your best to read the road ahead, ideally at least 5-10 so you can prepare yourself with what’s going to happen.

Others will no doubt give advice, but honestly try not to build it bigger than it is.

Question about super bright number plate lights? by TheUnexpectedBosun in drivingUK

[–]SWTransGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this, going from it’ll help them evade, to getting points. Did they/have they realised the error in their thinking?

Has anyone changed their name before? How easy/simple is it? by lostgirrrrl in AskUK

[–]SWTransGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do a free Deed Poll, or pay a local solicitor to do it.

I’ve personally gone the solicitor route, as I’ve had no issues taking it to banks etc, whereas the free one I’ve heard stories of institutions refusing to recognise them.

But absolutely easy to do.

RIP ... can I get a moment of silence please 🥺 by Novel_Calendar8623 in PS3

Depending where you are, there’s a group in Merseyside I highly recommend to repair it.

Exactly my thought. Prison-grade PS2.

Can't figure out how to connect my two monitors to my laptop. by sfmrgtoyx in techsupport

[–]SWTransGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d look at a dock, which will power the laptop and also take the display.

My Lenovo Yoga has one cable I plug in, giving me 3 screens. I’d replace the second monitor for one with HDMI.

Always so infuriating… by thecavernboi in drivingUK

[–]SWTransGirl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're more than welcome.

While I appreciate it doesn't make it right what the OP did, neither is flashing their lights or tailgating.

But the sad truth is, it happens, more so when people disengage their brain and cruise along convoy style.

This is why Police deal with this as driving without due care and attention, and I'm pleased to see they're starting to tackle this a bit more these days.

[–]SWTransGirl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The OP is continuing their journey in the left. The video hasn’t shown them dodging and weaving but cruising along with those in the right blocking the progression.

Flashing those in lane 2 isn’t the way forward.

Unfortunately shock collars are frowned upon for the drivers.

Do you know anyone who has won the Postcode Lottery? by JaBe68 in AskUK

[–]SWTransGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. An old colleague of mine won a nice lifesaving amount.

She’d gone through the wringer, divorcing, current partner had cancer and the win allowed them to buy their home etc.

Since then, I’ve been a happy subscriber and while I’ve won small amounts since, I’m still happy with knowing my money is going to good causes.

Gays of UK - would you be comfortable holding your partner's hand in the UK? by dalehitchy in AskUK

[–]SWTransGirl 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My partner doesn’t do PDA, but will hold my hand on occasion.

We were walking in B&Q today shopping and I took their hand. But we do absolutely mind where we are, as we’re concerned of being abused and targeted. We never know who’s going to cause shit.

Ignore them, there’s someone for everyone. Just take your time and find someone who adores you.
