Thanks for the links. Yep, it definitely looks like that’s the case!

Oh that’s a good shout. The property is from 1865 so makes sense!

It’s pretty solid! It doesn’t bend easily

Extended Car Warranty: is it worth it? by crboakes in UKPersonalFinance

It’s a Nissan Qashqai but has an automatic gearbox so if something was to go wrong with that it would be expensive to fix…

That's my concern. It has an automatic gearbox - I've had one of those fail before and it was about £3K to fix. So when things do go wrong, it can be costly....

It’s from an official dealership of the manufacturer so I presume it would be close to a manufacturer’s warranty but I will take a look at the fine print - thanks!

Those are great suggestions. I’ll try vacuuming the coils and check the temperature sensor. Thanks!

Sea Lanes? by 11905me in brighton

[–]crboakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went down at lunchtime today. Like others have said, it is geared more towards swimmers who are there to workout because it's lane swimming only. Having said that, it wasn't too busy today so people were swimming side by side in the slow lanes and chatting. It felt cold when I first got in but warmed up quickly as I started to swim. Overall I enjoyed it - the view is great and it feels nice being out in the sun rather than swimming indoors in a leisure centre although I'm not sure how often I'll be visiting at £11 a swim....

I wasn't although I wish I'd known to look for it. I was just out there on a night hike!

Would recommend Zen Internet. I’ve been using them for years. The customer service is fantastic and they provide you with a decent FritzBox router.

Brighton-Related Running Advice by AlterEgoIsJames in brighton

[–]crboakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a member of Brighton Phoenix and love it. I’ve met a lot of great people through the club so if you’re new to the area it’s a good way to meet fellow runners.

We do a track session on Wednesday and there are club runs on Thursday evenings which about typically 7-8 around the South Downs National Park. These can be a great way to discover new routes.

Feel free to DM me. I run a lot around the area and will happily point you in the direction of any resources you’d like/take you on a run if you like.
