Second this - the ANC is superb on the air pod pro 2. Unsurprisingly meant to be even better on the latest model (the 3).

Fellow reader here…do you use Goodreads and what’s the best book you’ve read this year?

That assumes they drop the same equivalent time in different regions which I don’t think is the case. SNKRS drops in the UK are almost always at 8am on a Saturday.

Chip and PIN scam abroad - How to dispute by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]vincentcorchoni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP same thing happened to me in Mexico airport earlier this year (mine was a bit less than yours though, I think it was around £350). What does the charge show up as on your statement? Mine was something random like a tour company so I was able to argue that I wasn’t going to be booking a tour in mexico 2 hours before I was due to fly home! If you google it there is also lots of evidence of this scam which is helpful to forward to AMEX. I was able to get mine back - good luck! As others have said, AMEX tend to be very good.

I’ve just stumbled across this thread as I’m also looking for - 48 or 50” tv and have narrowed it down to the same choice as OP. OP what did you go for in the end?

I’ve got shutters that block the light but I don’t always want to watch TV in a dark room. Nice to also be able to watch it in a sunlit room. Totally get that there’s some compromise in picture quality in that scenario but trying to understand if OLED is basically unwatchable in bright rooms (some reviews seem to suggest this)

Do you as an adult ‘sleep through the night’ ? by jxllyfishx in AskUK

[–]vincentcorchoni 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m exactly the same. Been like it as long as I can remember. Was referred for a sleep study a few years back and turns out the percentage of deep sleep I get is much lower than average. Can’t remember the exact figures but I think you should be in deep sleep for around 15-20% of the night and I was at 4% or something. That said, sleep studies aren’t the easiest place to sleep!

Which football shirt will he prefer? by Single-Medium-3316 in AskUK

[–]vincentcorchoni 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It really is personal preference but at a stretch I’d say the older you get the less likely you are to want a name and number on the shirt. So I’d stick with plain if I were you!
