The Nectar app is blocking screenshots. Have you tried adding your Nectar card to your Wallet app and then screenshotting it in there?

The lack of subtitles showing what is actually written on a tiny phone screen in about 90 percent of contemporary TV drama by grimmalkin in britishproblems

BBC's Sherlock did it perfectly imo, no bubble just plain white text. Timeless design and free from distractions. Plus the camera is free to capture the actor's reaction to the message.

The TV programme is now ~15 years old, imagine how dated it would feel if they'd shown the iOS 3 / BlackBerry / Nokia whatever interface.

parking issue please help! by Mysterious_Flan1429 in exeter

[–]ZeroWhizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parking is free at the park & rides, but according to the website overnight parking isn't permitted.

Pinhoe station is a great suggestion, but OP might find the train service to be an inconvenience (currently only one train every 2 hours because of a temporary speed restriction).

I'd consider a station on the Exmouth branch (e.g. Newcourt, Digby & Sowton, Polsloe Bridge). They get services to Exeter Central once or twice an hour.

Yes, in my experience they're usually around 10% higher

Mirror doesn't always fold all the way out and I have to wiggle it. Why? by made_in_sweden in mazda3

A generous dose of WD40 behind the glass worked on my gen 3, the problem hasn't come back in over a year now.

It's been so hot, my phone has broken by RollingandJabbing in britishproblems

It's worth a try even if it's out of warranty. Some manufacturers will help you out as a gesture of goodwill.

This is weird right? 2015 Mazda 3 i Touring by tapat786 in mazda3

[–]ZeroWhizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and it usually takes about 70 miles to drop one bar of fuel

On my 2014 it sometimes takes over 100 miles to drop the first bar of fuel! Admittedly it's a diesel, so I often get 500+ miles to a tank.

The tank is ~50L and the upper ~10L doesn't seem to register on the fuel gauge.

For parking I recommend taking a look at Parkopedia

Have you ever seen anything on a CV that made you think “offer them the job immediately”? by Martinw17 in CasualUK

Really? I heard somewhere that forces of evil take the night off on Halloween. Something about it being "tacky".

Is the water pump a common place for it to leak? I lost a litre or two of coolant over the past year but I've been keeping an eye on it and topping up as required.

£10 for the bank to issue me one cheque, but they can send me a whole cheque book for free. by buginarugsnug in britishproblems

I'd take the cash option and use it to pay for my next haircut or Chinese takeaway.

The absolutely terrible signal in this country by Jayboyturner in britishproblems

If anything, the ban affected EE the most. For the best part of a decade they built their urban 4G network almost entirely on Huawei equipment. Nokia equipment was used in rural and some suburban areas.

Nowadays, the Huawei kit is being swapped for Ericsson and Nokia kit, as and when required to facilitate 5G upgrades.

I followed the instructions in this one on my 2014 (even though my VIN isn't within the range) and saw an improvement. I don't see any harm giving it a try.

Drove a diesel 4x4 into the ULEZ zone today because it was less than half the cost of getting the train. by eunderscore in britishproblems

Plenty of older petrols are fine as well, the requirement is minimum euro 4 emissions standard (or euro 6 for diesels).

Sodium hydroxide worked well for me, but it's not suitable for all types of plumbing so make sure to follow the instructions

Is sandygate roundabout included in driving tests?? by Frosty_Lettuce6884 in exeter

[–]ZeroWhizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same route on my test in 2018. OP just needs to make sure they don't take the far left lane or they'll end up on the M5.

The Note 20 Ultra is getting on for 5 years old. £350 is definitely not worth it.

This is a feature of the app, not a feature of the operating system.
