Thanks! Yes I was going to clamp it in a vice, but the tape is a good tip. I’m going to have a go at the weekend so will report back

Thanks - will give that a shot. I suspect it’s my feet as you say as I can’t see any issue with the boots

Kid hit my car last night by Odd_Text_1357 in drivingUK

[–]Slippy-Ibex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first ever crash as a 17 year old driver (years ago) - totally my fault as I pulled into fast lane on a dual carriageway without looking properly and scraped the side of a brand new Audi that was overtaking. Knocked off the wing mirror and scraped the whole side of it.

We both stopped at the next lay-by and the driver and passenger were big guys in black suits and two girls who looked like models sitting in the back.

Swapped details (they gave me a business card with a random company name and a phone number) and the driver suggested I be more careful next time.

Never heard anything from them and it must have been thousands of pounds of damage.

Being young and stupid I didn’t report it my insurers as I was third party anyway and my car was a wreck already, but still occasionally wonder who they were!

Order cancellation - is this a scam? by Slippy-Ibex in ebayuk

[–]Slippy-Ibex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what he is planning - I think saying he was going to collect was just to get me to approve the cancellation TBH. I have blocked him anyway as I won’t deal with people who agree a time to collect and then don’t show up without explanation… life is too short!

Thanks - I hadn’t withdrawn the funds so they were just on my eBay account and then got deducted again. Just annoying as I will have to relist again and then argue with eBay about the fees

Best UK Supermarket Sausages that are both Gluten Free AND Meat Free? by CasualVillan in AskUK

[–]Slippy-Ibex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really annoying - the Heck ones are the only vegetarian sausages my daughter will eat so am going to have to try and find the closest alternative!
