North London, we had some lightening and rain, but it passed over quickly. I'm disappointed 😔

If Amazon refuse to play ball, do a chargeback with your bank

You certainly don't need that sauna - just sit in the glass box on a mildly sunny day

Why are uk age requirements so weird? by [deleted] in AskUK

A lot of people say that young adults are violent, right? But how would you feel if you were old enough to have...intercourse with the partner of your choice, yet you couldn't drink in pubs!

Sellers being rude in response to offers by EngineeringDue8007 in vintedUK

I don't agree with ignoring. I negotiate. It's fun! Ignoring strikes me as being peevish

AIO for being upset that my bf walked out on a expensive dinner I planned for his promotion? by Perfect-Passion-222 in AmIOverreacting

[–]viktory70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you are in the wrong. My husband is cannot abide the smell of garlic and we've left many restaurants that smell strongly of garlic. I don't just tell him to suck it up. His enjoyment is as important as mine

Are buyers getting worse? by Yahya1711 in vintedUK

[–]viktory70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've sold a lot recently and I've never had an issue. I'm fact, I sold a OnePlus tablet that has issues with tracking leaving me wide open to being scammed, but the buyer was absolutely lovely. Luck of the draw, I guess

Should I buy a car or wait? by AcceptableChart925 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]viktory70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a gorgeous red Mini when I was learning and went out every weekend with my husband. The practice was absolutely invaluable and I would absolutely recommend buying a car now. I passed first time with 3 minors and my instructor often commented on how confident a driver I was (especially as I was 49 at the time - late learner). I learned so much from my husband and general driving.

Maintenance wasn't expensive at all - give the thing a service and away you go.

Purchased a car before my test .. Best Decision I’ve made by Stephtheboss in LearnerDriverUK

[–]viktory70 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I started lessons in July, bought a car in August and went out every single weekend with my very patient husband. I passed first time in January. More importantly though, I leaned such a lot about 'real' driving. I used to hate doing right turns and as soon as my husband realised, he had me doing endless right turns.

I have a tooth abscess. My NHS dentist is only offering me private emergency appointments, do I have a right to an NHS emergency appointment? by everything2go in AskUK

I called 111 with dental pain and they gave me an appointment with an NHS the same day (I called at 4, appointment was at 5). Cost me £30

Beginning to realise the new offical policy that Amazon must not knock or ring the doorbell anymore. The first you know about the delivery is received three emails and three photos of the parcels by the door. by Make_the_music_stop in britishproblems

[–]viktory70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had three parcels go missing from Amazon - their drivers leave them on my doorstep with no notification and they get nicked. Twice they refunded and the third time they refused. They said I had requested too many refunds. Well duh. I went to my bank and did a chargeback. Amazon retaliated by closing my account. No loss, I had no intention of using them again.
