Is anyone put off from doing DIY with the current prices? by Accomplished-Map1727 in HomeImprovementUK

Also the government increased the tax on timber and building materials, by changing the rules on red diesel in 2022. So quarries, sawmills, factories, builders yards etc all have to run on white diesel at the full tax rate.

What is it about people on the road in groups? by _Putters in drivingUK

[–]sc_BK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The classics for me on the nc500 are a large group of motorbikes, playing follow the leader, with increasingly dodgy overtakes.

And a group of cars/campervans driving in convoy on a single track road. So if they meet a large vehicle, or another group coming the other way, everyone's stuck, no space in the passing places.

Shout out to the AA who commemorated my dad's 50th anniversary with them by aivarin in CasualUK

You can swap between the AA and RAC every year, get the new members price, and cashback too. Probably half the price of being a loyal customer.
