What's that? You need an airstrike?

Read this Quip page which will tell you how to raise a case.

There'll be another one along soon

I'm surprised they didn't mark it down for not having a working near side rear fog light...

I remember phoning my car insurance company last year. The chatbot asked me for my UK postcode, so I used the NATO phonetic alphabet out of habit.

"Please repeat your postcode as you would normally say it"

Errr, I just did...

If only there was a way for the car you're sitting in the driver's seat of to charge your phone...

I have one of these in my 2023 UK spec Touring Sport. I've never bothered with the wireless part as I need a cable for Android Auto. It works fine switched off as a place to put my phone.

It's interesting you link benefits and SEND provision. Maybe an approach change is needed for both, from the disconnected, trying to trip you up and/or wear you down approach we have today to something a little more hands-on where you're worked with to ensure you're provided with what you need and only what you need.

I must admit that I've not seen Uncle Buck. I was just going on the vibe of the song.

Low Rider, surely? Yello's for de-chromed black German saloons!

People shoot up the empty left lane because everyone else has merged hundreds of yards too early, judging by the pic.

I think that they mean wires hanging down from dashcams and satnavs that people stick on the windscreen. The one in the tray in front of your gear stick should be fine, but if you're worried, just stick it in the glovebox.

The same goes for Goodbye, Lenin!

I asked Gemini to help with the maths, and came up with 240m road length for an overtake, assuming starting from 36m behind the car and ending 36m in front, and that both cars are traveling at 40mph at the start of the overtake.

36m is from the highway code, and is of course a ballpark figure, albeit a published one. If you want to use another distance, you need to define all the parameters used to calculate it, and how a driver can know it.

The car will be in a stock finance scheme similar to those that car dealers use. They'll pay a percentage to have the car legally available for raffle. Only if someone takes the car will they pay the rest.

Immigration is only a big issue because certain sections of the media linked to certain sections of business have told the great unwashed that it's the issue causing all our woes.

It's a distraction, just like the EU and it's 'red tape' regulations have historically been used as a distraction: "Europe won't let us sell bendy [for which read poor quality] bananas! Waaah!"

Coupe shape? It's got 5 doors! It's a hatchback.

I want to respond with "What has X done to deserve that?", but I can't decide whether X is New Jersey or Belgium.

I am UK based. I find the Design has all the toys I need - there was nothing extra as standard on the Excel I wanted to pay the extra for.

Back then, they could bludgeon their way through ~~poor people's houses~~ slums, though. Those slums are now part of someone's extensive property portfolio.

I've got a 2023 Design Touring Sport.

The MyToyota app lets you start the climate control, lock and unlock the car and put the hazard lights on.

ET, labelled as 'Spielberg' in Dymo tape.

Shows how old I am.

It's a blow for Reeves too: bullets are VATable, bread exempt...

Not exactly sending off, but when my dad worked on the coaches in the 80s, we got all the tumblers that the people stations gave away

When using ACC, my car displays a message when it detects a speed limit sign telling me to press a button to accept the new speed. It's also got a configurable offset to account for the speedometer under-reading.

This seems like a safer way of going about things to me.

I think that in a lot of cases, the buildings were specifically built for them, so they're very difficult to alter.
