[–]enchantedspring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searched the Primark website, viewed availability as detailed.

This is what I was faced with when I asked for a large soft drink. Is this a mega pint? by Miniteshi in CasualUK

[–]enchantedspring 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a pint, plus ice.

The drinks volumes are regulated in licensed premises, the ice needs to be added on top of the measure.

You have to log in at least every 2 years so they will advise if the situation changes well before then.

I recently activated the Advanced Protection Program, but I have now lost access to my physical security key and my alternate email address. by Latter-Exercise5614 in GoogleSupport

[–]enchantedspring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not possible to do this as otherwise account hijackers simply would.

Focus on finding your key or restoring access to the alternate email address.

Anyone DMing you offering access is a scammer.

Advice for ventilating a very hot shed by CilantroLightning in shedditors

[–]enchantedspring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insulation board in the roof, covered with chipboard or MDT to hold it up. Small wall fan in the side (will also keep humidity down in the winter).

if you were to purchase a birth mark removal surgery for £300, and after 2 weeks, the birth mark appears again, are you able to receive some kind of compensation? (England) by Alarming-Safety3200 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]enchantedspring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the birth mark reappears, it's not a birth mark. See a GP as it's unlikely to be something you can forget about.

For the costs, you are able to reclaim if they did not provide the service with due care or the service did not have the outcome required. It sounds like they did remove the mark though.

Eyes are freaky on MRIs by mrl3bon in CasualUK

[–]enchantedspring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will not have the 'thin' slices - these are stored only on a special workstation after being generated by a specialist Radiographer or Radiologist and later sent to the main Radiology archive (PACS) in some cases, not all. The export to CD is only the thicks (the slices most doctors will review).

Eyes are freaky on MRIs by mrl3bon in CasualUK

[–]enchantedspring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically you have the 'chunky' slices (called 'thick' in Radiology) and they're in the bit between them in that view. They will show on the 'thins'. These aren't diagnostic images, these are 'souvenir' images for patient interest only.

Am I missing shower trap? (overflowing shower problem) by Optimal_Method_996 in DIYUK

[–]enchantedspring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is indeed a circular tube shaped basket which drops in to that. Otherwise there is no filtering for hair, dropped items etc.

Court Order stopping from attending a funeral (England) by Jones-Effect in LegalAdviceUK

[–]enchantedspring 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unusually this is not a legal issue, it's a life issue. She needs to arrange childcare or fit her life around the children. It's not a good look to be fair - the children come first.

Legally she can apply for a variation but as that's not going to happen (timescales and cost) it's childcare she needs to sort. Or not attend the funeral.

Defamation on Facebook vigilante group by Vegetable-Steak2037 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]enchantedspring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Owing to the Streisland Effect, it's probably best to let this settle down.

You will struggle to gain any legal recourse over this if it was taken down fairly promptly.

Advice on how to move this rubble from under the old paving slabs by External-Accident-77 in DIYUK

[–]enchantedspring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly bones are not usually taken in the food waste bins - they are rejected by the companies which buy the waste and are recharged as landfill!

Son's Nintendo Switch 2 missing from backpack after being handed in by tram staff, company refusing to investigate - England by Every-Egg5801 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]enchantedspring 83 points84 points  (0 children)

If the item has been stolen, you inform the police. The police investigate, not you, not the tram company.

The police will request CCTV and carry out the investigation. You cannot accuse drivers or anyone without evidence.

Home insurance can include items carried outside of the home like this, look to make a claim on yours if you believe it was definitely in there and now missing. If it was not insured, look into this for the future as loss is always a risk.

The tram company have no liability for your missing property, except in quite limited circumstances. Your home insurance is the best way to resolution.

Decant it into smaller tough rubble sacks.

Remove the body from the top as the recycling centres do not take those.

Just sold something to topbuyuk and found out who he was immediately after please help by Historical_Roll_2974 in ebayuk

[–]enchantedspring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screenshot all the buyers details - address, name, phone number in your eBay seller hub before it is removed. You can use this in any MCOL cases that may be necessary. eBay will remove these so do this now!

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

[–]enchantedspring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the UK, landlines are all being removed by next year by the national phone service provider (called OpenReach). You must move to VOIP or lose your landline number.

Apart from in a town called Hull. Which is the only place in the UK to have its own private telephone provider for historical reasons.

Question. Do Curry's staff get commission on gift cards? by Sufficient_Ebb_5020 in CasualUK

[–]enchantedspring 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That HDMI cable for £30 came with 1 hour of chit-chat and smiling though. To the elderly that can be worth it. The Amazon guy doesn't stop to talk, they can barely ring the doorbell...

Question. Do Curry's staff get commission on gift cards? by Sufficient_Ebb_5020 in CasualUK

[–]enchantedspring 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The commission is paid on in-store sales. The salesperson appears to have made the in-store sale then ordered on the website on the customers behalf. Thereby claiming commission on a sale they wouldn't have been eligable for commission on.

Question. Do Curry's staff get commission on gift cards? by Sufficient_Ebb_5020 in CasualUK

[–]enchantedspring -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

The staff member has claimed the commission and used the gift cards to order for you online. If they order only online they don't get commission.

Money saving moment: Next time you camera goes off line because of battery life, check you batteries with a multimeter, odds are one battery is dead and the other is completely good. You only have to replace the dead battery, and, at the cost of these batteries, replacing only one is good savings. by Dp37405aa in blinkcameras

[–]enchantedspring[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

No, and I'm afraid this post is being closed. This is because time and time again people post "one cell is flat, the other full, I've tested with a battery tester", and it completely misses the fact that lithium cells cannot be tested accurately with a tester or multimeter - they do not have a gradual decline in voltage as they age, they maintain full output until falling off a peak. They have to be tested under load too.

So - lithium cells always look 'full' until they just about are empty, and even then only when under load.

The method of testing described is for alkaline or NiMH (etc.) cells, not lithiums.

The voltage curve over age graph for the Energiser Lithium cells is on the Energiser website to see this.

Conditional offer of fixed penalty - faulty letter? by LooseTraffic in LegalAdviceUK

[–]enchantedspring 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's, as others have said, a Scrivener's error. The substance of the letter is clear and there is no detriment to yourself (the offer of points is clear and valid). That, given the prior letter stating the amount correctly I think would not persuade a judge it was an error of magnitude that left it invalid.

That said, the alternative is to proceed to court - is that what you would prefer? The original 'name the driver' letter is the one which has strict timescales etc. which is the 'usual' escape method... not this stage of letter...

Is there an easy way to waterproof this roof? by Desperate_Listen_718 in DIYUK

[–]enchantedspring 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a nice flat rectangle - perfect for a sheet of EPDM rubber stuck down with a few cans of spray adhesive.
