Morrisons in ross-on-wye had free parking for years and people would park there and go into town as well as shop at morrisons. The carpark is huge so not really a problem, it was normally quite full but you could get a space. Someone in management decided to implement a paid system where you...

I had a letter/fine from the london congestion zone as it incorrectly read a numberplate. The car in the picture had an F which had dirt or something making it look like a P, and hence match mine. As I don't have direct access to DVLA records I went on eurocarparts and used their numberplate...

A lot of carparks are APNR to let you in. If you cover your plate I would assume it won't open the barrier.

Unless you've logged a change with DVLA etc it would be pretty hard to argue that the car in the picture couldn't possibly be yours because yours has a sticker on the windscreen. One might question as to when the sticker appeared in your windscreen.

Useful to know as I intend to do this in the future in my attic. Ring shank nails sound like the answer to me.

Something worth learning in general with tools like this is to overcome the urge to grab something that is falling or moving. If you are cutting and the offcut is about to fall off the table or your tape measure has vibrated to the edge of the desk the best course of action is to release the...

Really? My understanding is the American system is a 2 party system, which in reality means that you don't get anything done if the other party decides not to agree. Look at the recent bi-partisan border bill that was widely accepted at being a step forward on both sides, and was then killed...

For a start the US isn't at war with anyone currently, it is supplying arms which is no different to many countries. But that is semantics and it could be argued there is a proxy war going on, but let's think about why that is. For a start Trump was in power during Covid which meant not many...

out of interest what is the difference? Is a stain where it is in the finish rather than actually soaking into the wood? I wondered if the colour would come off the old piece if the finish is scrapped off, i.e. it is a coloured varnish

I might have missed it in the last 20 pages so apologies if I am repeating but it seems to me that rather than blaming the small landlords that might have between 1 and a handful of houses to rent, and therefore make a small return (I think 5-6% was stated as the average return). It would seem...

since switching to shaving soap (bar) and badger brush 10+ years ago I haven't had razor rash once. Shampoo bars are great too. Last ages, works well and is far better environmentally as a huge amount of weight is removed when you aren't shipping the water part and no plastics. One of the...

https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/clinton-concedes-to-trump-we-owe-him-an-open-mind-231118 What did they do? did they organise a riot on the capital building? did they organise alternative electors? did they phone state governors and ask them to 'find' some more votes for Hilary? did they...

Ironic you use the word concede, a word that Trump has yet to use about the 2020 election that he has proved zero zilch nada evidence for, and was without doubt tried to illegally overturn. 'virtue signalling lefties' ah yes the commonly used boogie man of the MAGA crowd. Let's be serious most...

Had a quick look at various seals and wondered if this would work. https://www.garagedoorpartsuk.co.uk/gliderol-roller-door-bottom-weather-seal.html It's not meant for the side of the door but might work. Glue and staple down the one door edge. The edges on this seal would hopefully stop it...

I like this idea for the worst offenders. Then you apply a rewards system. If you are moved to one of these then your house is inspected weekly, if you trash the place it is inspected daily. If still not looked after services are restricted, lights go off after 10, electric only goes on for a...

this is what I'd do. probably only need 2x2 timber as the shed is barely going to weigh anything if its the type of metal shed I think it is. Might be cheaper to use feather board on the outside rather than osb/plywood as it quite expensive here. Random idea - you could even try something a bit...

Granted I haven't driven everywhere but my Tomtom has taken me to the French Alps numerous times and the Netherlands last year and I don't remember it showing any incorrect speeds outside of roadworks or variable speed limit areas. It updates via wifi for free, so I just let it update at home...

I think this goes back to actually determining what is being implemented/proposed. A system that alerts the driver that they are going over the speed limit but doesn't do anything more is quite simple and has been working for a decade on the GPS systems. We have a Tomtom satnav that will...

Unless I am mistaken, the only thing anyone on here so far has advocated is to enforce the rules that have been in place for decades. The same laws that you will have been taught when you were taught to drive and got a license and therefore agree to abide to. There is no freedom to surrender...

maybe, maybe not. My front door is definitely solid although smaller panels. each panel is ~8inches and is made of more than one piece glued together. Been there way before I got the house 10 years ago and hasn't had a problem despite me not doing a lot of maintenance on it.
