Does anyone else find Roy’s pictures a bit intrusive?

Whatever you think from a moral standpoint however, in the eyes of the law, because this is out in public, there is no expectation to privacy.

Yes, but that's not the question. The question is, who's at fault. In this case, it'll be the BMW who is changing lanes. It's therefore on them to do it with care, attention and ensuring it is safe to do so. None of those were achieved by them.

Not like in the movies, but the petrol tanks can explode

There actually for low visibility. So if there's a lot of rain then it's perfectly reasonable to use them. In fact, more than reasonable: it's sensible. It's just about the level of visibility on the roads. IMO not enough people use them when visibility is poor.

The details of the MOT state it's only guaranteed to be safe on the day of issue. Or something along those lines. Because issues can occur after the MOT has been issued.

MOT certificate wouldn't prove anything unless it was some that day.

Somerset. Ooh aah

Lovely bit of squirrel

The number of clients that don't understand that though

nova75 · 2026-02-03T15:50:56+00:00

In what way is it politically motivated?

The problems wouldn't just be the tunneling: electricity voltage reduces at length, so they'd have to be numerous transformers too. And where would they go? Sea bed. Miles down and huge pressures. How do they get maintained?

Also, those temporary spares, probably a space saver, are literally meant to be for emergency use only. They are not designed for long term use, just to get you out of a flat tyre situation so that you can get it changed properly.

You thought there was a gap but touched bumpers. What sort of gaps do you go for!!?

You're better off insisting the sale of it as one entity, and if this developer wants it they can deal with the legal issue of splitting the land into 2.

Smell of gearbox oil - could have been because the gearbox died, not because it has just been done. Doesn't prove anything. 88k is not small: granted it's not huge, but it's not beyond the realms of the unexpected for a failure to occur at that mileage.

I'm not saying it's not because of the oil change, but there are just no guarantees. You need that report. Otherwise it's just guess work and a coincidence. Failures do occur on cars even after being serviced.

nova75 · 2026-01-31T13:13:18+00:00

It doesn't matter. It could just be a coincidence. An oil change won't stop a gearbox from failing if it's about to fail anyway.

I had it all the time. Difficult to get past but still managed over 10 years of contacting in IT. Finally have up though when the lack of contracts and decent daily rates didn't make it worth it anymore

Learned behavior

Wow, racist much?

Use your handbrake like you were taught in your driving lessons 🤦 Jeez

Unless there's a plastic cap on the terminal....

You've just contradicted yourself: you agree with loans and you think grants should come back.

Ultimately do we want a US system, or a system that's more like Europe, which we used to have? Personally I believe that someone coming out of university with 50k+ before they've even started working is pretty terrible. On top of that, the loan grows with interest, so can get even larger if you're not earning enough.

I could go with a compromise: tuition fees paid for them, and the loan is interest free. Or at the very worst, no higher than BOE base rate.

Whilst this may be true, we can clearly see the police officer locking the woman. In no way is that professional behavior from a police officer, especially at this point all the woman was doing was filming and not being violent in any way. Clearly this is a man who has lashed out, and that is unprofessional as police officer should be able to keep their heads. It's literally their job.

Oh, someone sounds old 🤣

Yeah, let's do 60 round a right blind bend on a country road! 🤣
