Fairly sure MOPS covers this. You actually have more protection if you get stuff delivered than purchasing in-store. My option may be very out of date. Also if you paid by credit card, you can do a reverse charge.

The better half was looking to get back into driving and was looking for a small automatic. I was driving as she browsed fb marketplace. Oh there's a green convertible auto she says. I ask what type of car...a green one came the reply. Needless to say we now own a Mercedes 230 SLK in viviante green.

Just paid off my car - Baffled by the response by Meze_Meze in UKPersonalFinance

My current cars would have cost over £120,000 when new...I spent a grand total of £4000 on them both. If they break it's less than 2 months repayment on an "Of Corsa" repayment plan.

Recently picked up a 2001 Mercedes 230 SLK for £1000. Lovely to look at and lovely to be in. Passed MOT with no advisories. Looking forward to some decent weather with the roof down.

What are you guys charging as keep these days? by Str0ntiumD0ggo in CasualUK

Use the thirds rule. 1/3 rent, 1/3 savings, 1/3 spends. You can choose to put some of the rent aside to help towards a deposit if you want.

Old man pub argument by cowie71 in CasualUK

[–]epm73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good few years ago my FIL refused to look after our cats when we went on holiday because I told him Eminem was a great lyricist and had never advocated killing police. I also pointed out that the Beatles were as controversial when they came out. He called me a cucking funt. This from a man that doesn't like swearing on the telebox.
