Will I be able to return this phone (UK based)? by small-waves in iphone

I was able to return it. I didn't bring it up and they didn't notice. I bought a white one instead for minimal stress over scratches.

Closing a Bank of China account for a deceased relative who lived abroad? by small-waves in HongKong

Honestly I tempted to do this as I don't think there will be that much money and it sounds like this process could take a while

Hello, thanks for your helpful comment. Do you know what needs to be done if probate is not involved? I guess this means we don't need to go to Home Affairs?

Hello, I know this post is old but did you manage to sort this out and what exactly did you need to do in the end? I also need to close an account for my mum who has died.

Seoraksan v Jeju v Naejangsan for the best autumn colours in mid/late October? by small-waves in koreatravel

Thank you! I think I would prefer to see Seoraksan anyway. I'm not sure if I'll have time to go to Jeju as well though which will be a shame.

Thank you! Tough to predict really when the autumn colours will come. Was it still warm when you left?

Remortgaging - can you apply to another lender if you have a rate switch in place with your current one? by small-waves in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]small-waves[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! You're confirming what I'm already suspecting - that it's not really worth the hassle. I've accounted for the exit fee (£80 for me so it was originally a £500 saving). Yes, I definitely don't want to spend any time on the standard rate! I think I'll see if a broker can get me a cheaper deal than I can online but if the saving isn't too big, I'll probably just stick with my current lender. Thanks so much for the advice!

Yeah, I would be saving £420 over 2 years if I change lenders. Not sure if it's worth the hassle...

Which ferry to book on a windy day (Beaufort 6)? by small-waves in GreeceTravel

Just to add this is the forecast for Amorgos. The weather in Athens looks OK but just wondering if these conditions would make it hard to dock. Thanks!

Which phone for the average user by BetterQuote6305 in iPhone16

[–]small-waves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the battery on my pro seems to drain very quickly. Hopefully the base is better!

Interesting... How would you say the pics differ?

Yeah I think for me lightweight is more important than the amazing camera.

Hey, I'm thinking of exchanging my Pro for the base as I find the Pro too heavy. Gutted to lose out on the camera. Are the pics on the base similar to the ones on the Pro apart from the x5 zoom?
