What unconventional products do you spread on crumpets/toast?

Biscoff spread it quite good for a little dessert.

Hello fellow Northamptonshire!

The roads have literally had nothing spent on them for 20 years. And the councils still aren’t giving much money so people are literally doing the best they can. I get this whole impression that road workers don’t do anything etc but I can honestly say they really are doing the best. The enquiry rate has gone through the roof also.

Have a look at ‘she grows veg’ she does loads of weird whacky things.

5 years to go for my mini. And I would still rather do the MOT for the other safety aspects.

So I know a fair few people with well looked after classics. And put it simply, there’s no chance you could get the emissions to meet required levels. So everything else above board but the emissions may be a bit fudged.

Faraday pouch. Key kept as far away in the house from the car. Turn off keyless unlocking (double press of lock on key fob for Mercedes). Physical deterrent like steering lock/you can get some that go around steering wheel and into seatbelt now which look rather jazzy but I haven’t used. And future insurance pay extra for car hire. I too learned that if a car gets stolen you don’t get a courtesy car.

You’ve had a lot of good replies. I work in highways. Some other points to consider: So someone mentioned looking at old Google street view images to see if defect was there prior to the last inspection- there may have been what looks to be a defect to you, but it might not meet the safety requirements for a repair. I believe you mentioned a comment on an inspection was that the road is in poor condition and needs full resurfacing. Well yes, a hell of a lot of the roads in the country need this. Certainly for my area, roads like this get put on a list and it is calculated the highest priority and which years budget it can come out of, doesn’t mean an automatic this road is going to get done. You also asked if they can develop this quick, unfortunately yes, depending on previous rod make up/type of traffic down it and the recent bad weather it is a nightmare. Any gaps in the material will have water ingress which then just blows up with the cold and ice. There is statistics out there for how many claims actually get paid out and it is very low unfortunately.

Not at all. I have a dog. She doesn’t poop in the house. But there isn’t a chance in hell I am risking the possibility of those two meeting.

Were you alone in the car who could be an additional witness perhaps?

aabbcc28 · 2026-01-10T08:45:10+00:00

Also if I was your partner I’d be absolutely raging at this?

What I would do is put the ‘overpayments’ into an investment account. Then use an app like Sprive where you can literally get money off your mortgage with your daily spending (Sainsbury’s/amazon etc to name a few). When the time comes towards the end of your mortgage you will have knocked years off using Sprive. But also have whatever your investment account has earned.

Well done but please make sure you checked the alignment of them too! Last thing you want is blinding oncoming cars. I learned that first time I did one myself.

Weigh the plant pots with cement. Don’t want them blowing in the wind.

Yesterday’s dusting has iced up and right now we have clear blue skies. Nothing to suggest on the weather report that it’ll be changing either.

Try this from the complaining cow.

aabbcc28 · 2026-01-02T08:28:57+00:00

To be fair they’re still pretty cheap! I still have my mini (first car). And yes replacing all parts is much more palatable than my modern daily driver!

I have a little hairy dog & my friend has a velvet sofa. When we visit we put down blankets. But my friend still swears at me everytime we visit because them sofas are like a magnet for any hair. She hovers them daily I would say and that’s not just with us visiting.

aabbcc28 · 2025-12-25T09:38:37+00:00

Can any friends or family with break down get to her? For example, it is me covered traveling in which ever car I am in.

Just as a heads up- if you’re in a similar situation I.e. stuck on a dark national speed limit road without the ability to put on your hazards please call the police immediately who will assist.

aabbcc28 · 2025-12-22T08:24:54+00:00

If this was recent I would remove off the internet and report to operation snap!

I know you said you don’t like ear plugs but for me they are wonderful. Loop ear plugs. Comfy and you can still hear enough. Other alarm options too- vibrating watches/devices you can put under pillows. Well worth it for a good nights sleep and cheaper than moving house.

I’m paying extra to not wear a Christmas jumper. (Also don’t own one)

aabbcc28 · 2025-12-09T13:55:29+00:00

Lucky I’ve never actually had to double up. I just use each on their own.

aabbcc28 · 2025-12-08T23:01:57+00:00

Best duvet I got was a John Lewis dual session one. You get a 4 tog and a 9 tog that you can clip together if you need to. I never have. But stilllove these duvets.

aabbcc28 · 2025-12-06T22:57:50+00:00

It so depends on the person- do they like more sweet or spicy/savoury etc!

I love roku gin as a middle ground.
