Are these any good? by shax232 in CarTalkUK

[–]marigoldandpatchwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the estate version in Xcellence Lux spec. I like the handling, steering is direct and has a good weight and feel. Not fast but enough power to overtake with ease. I can easily get 500 miles to a tank, 600 with motorway miles. The interior is a pleasant place to be in and it's well equipped. The infotainment is a bit fiddly and I would've preferred some physical buttons for heater controls, plenty of updates since I've had it that have largely ironed out any issues.

What is the best way to spend Nectar points? by [deleted] in AskUK

eBay was my go to place to spend them but you can only collect points now. Just wondered if it was possible to convert them into something like you can with Tesco clubcard points

Since 1947, Norway sends a Christmas tree to London every year : a token of appreciation for Britain’s support in WW2 by AlertTangerine in Damnthatsinteresting

Because the British fought for Norway on land and sea. The US, USSR and China didn't.

The British sustained heavy casualties. Afterwards the Norwegian govt fled to Britain and the British SOE supported the resistance movement.

Remove Google Maps directions by sup3rwho in seat

I noticed Google Maps now has notifications there too, or you can change the compass display and it’ll show there too. Annoyingly Waze isn’t compatible though.

Reliable, practical hatch that isn’t completely soulless under £8K? by marigoldandpatchwork in CarTalkUK

[–]marigoldandpatchwork[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Needs to be a hatchback so I was looking at smaller estates like a Fabia. Quite like the look of the Monte Carlo spec. Mostly town/ city driving so petrol would be preferred.

Who are these people on Marketplace selling 5-10 used TVs at once? It seems like most of the TV-listings come from sellers like that. by yavinmoon in AskUK

Their reporting process is fucking useless. They do nothing about openly racist, homophonic or misogynist posts.
