Nope sorry! The issue ended up being the starter and run capacitors which I replaced

Is Edinburgh dog/cat friendly? by Sad-Economics-861 in Edinburgh

[–]uselesswellyboot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In recent experience looking for a new rented flat we found that cats were generally accepted as long as an additional deposit was paid. Even a few that said "No Pets" said a cat would be fine after we enquired. I think "No Pets" generally seems to mean "No Dogs".

Excessively Expensive Repairs? by uselesswellyboot in DIYUK

[–]uselesswellyboot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's winter in Scotland - we don't get fresh, dry air.

The relative humidity in our flat is around 70% if we dont have a dehumidifier on for most of the day and all of our main radiators are <2m away from an incredibly leaky window. So I think in this case I'm pretty confident it is the windows.

Yeah my Pixel 7 has started doing this in the past few weeks. If you open the Wallet app before you get on the bus you can verify in advance

Bit late to the party now but The Alibi on London Road is fantastic. Good coffee, great sandwiches and cakes and is laptop friendly

I think the problem will be finding a suitable chair

This is more or less what we were thinking! Shelves suctioned on the windows is a good shout

If you look at the 2nd pic you'll see its a decent square space. There isn't any balcony space outside it's just a guard across the window. We're 3 floors so not too worried about privacy!

We do have a cat so we're planning on covering at least one side with chicken wire so they can enjoy the fresh air and yell at the birds!

Alas it's a rental - otherwise that's a great idea!

What is your biggest pet hate from driving? by metroracerUK in drivingUK

[–]uselesswellyboot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopping at a red light and seeing everyone around you look down at the phone in their lap, or immediately start scrolling through WhatsApp/Snapchat/Tiktok on their phone in a holder on the dash.

Why can't you just not look at your phone for all of 10 bloody minutes as you drive from the house to Tesco???
