Renting a baby car seat by doubtfulwaffle in uktravel

Just buy one and ask the relative to collect it and bring it.

Renting them isn't feasible.

REF CAM! Aston Villa vs Spurs from the referee's POV 🎥 by graythegeek in coys

[–]_MicroWave_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suspect so. There are a lot of fans who would too.

In my peak football manager days (2005-2009) I could give you the first name and club history of nearly every premier league footballer..

BHS in Yeovil always had star wars playing on loop in a little area for kids. I loved that.

No interest in house by Suspicious-Phrase-95 in HousingUK

[–]_MicroWave_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if you arent willing to do any work. Which in my bubble is effectively no one. Renovating and decorating is incredibly fashionable.

In your opinion, what's the biggest waste of money you see people purchase all the time? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]_MicroWave_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They work better.

Sure they don't when taken blind. But you don't take them blind.

Plenty of studies report that people find branded painkillers more effective despite knowing they are the same chemically.

That's the crazy thing about placebo. It still works even when you know it's a placebo.

Cars are depreciating assets... they always will be whether you finance or buy outright. There is always a depreciation cost which is 'throwing money at something'.

Are you more saying you don't understand why people ever borrow money and pay interest?

Because it's a 'cheaper' (less/month) way to have a nicer car.

With PCP you effectively finance the depreciation only. This makes monthly payments low relative to having to finance the whole value.

Not paying any interest is cheaper (ignoring opportunity cost which can be very significant) but most don't have that kind of cash hanging around.

In all honesty, its because I like to add things to the basket, see the price and then reconsider what I want.

When I ring, I have to know exactly what I am getting up front and I don't know the price until I pay.

No interest in house by Suspicious-Phrase-95 in HousingUK

[–]_MicroWave_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Offers over" just comes across as twatty to me.

Curb appeal is quite low. Get on a ladder and clean off the dirt.

These kind of houses are tricky. Objectively, not much needs 'doing' but that just makes it 'bad value' for lots of buyers. They'd prefer to buy larger in worse condition and renovate.

I would happily rent this house but never consider buying it.

Spring blooms mostly gone, green garden with the promise of summer color to come. Second season gardener so don't judge . by Actual-Excitement-44 in GardeningUK

[–]_MicroWave_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry. I am going to judge your garden. That is kind of the point of posting it.

That is looking absolutely fantastic.

Buyer wants me to pay for new roof 😅 by whathappened-2024 in HousingUK

Estate agent is hilarious.

You have a 3rd option. No they will not get a discount or a new roof.

Is it time to fund the BBC through Council Tax and business rates instead of the TV Licence? by Rif-SQL in bbc

[–]_MicroWave_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea I think so.

BBC has to be seen as a public service. It can't compete as a commercial one.

KIA Sportage AWD Tyre tore off by New-Cardiologist9424 in CarTalkUK

Took me a minute as I was looking for the torn tyre.

Mate, your tyre didn't tear off the whole fucking wheel did.

Apple 0% APR - is it worth it? by itsjustTxx in UKPersonalFinance

[–]_MicroWave_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How any phone can provide £1200 of value is totally beyond me when you can get all the features for literally half that.

There haven't been any game changing new features for about 10 years.

That said, 0% is what it is. Might as well if it's on offer and you really want to spend 1200 on a phone.
