Highly likely Adam. Back in March a young girl was killed when she drove into a tree on the same stretch of road; no other car involved. Police checked her phone and found that she was texting at the...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
The A140 is a dead straight former Roman road where a car hit a pedestrial at 11:00AM breaking an arm and leg. How the feck? And why was the road closed for four hours.

Yesterday, there was an accident outside our village and the police closed the road, the A140 main road between Ipswich and Norwich heading to Norwich. The trouble is, the only alternate roads are...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Thanks for the head up Grant. I changed to Carol Nash for the first time this year. I always argue for a lower premium when I get the reminder letter, but this year Hastings refused to budge.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
What a day. Yesterday, I booked the hospital to get some lumps on my arm looked at. The appointment was for 13:00. Got there on time and they took blood and sent me to a waiting area until the doctor...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My CH is controlled by a Tado smart controller like Hive. The target temperature today is 21 degrees and Tado switched it on at 8am for 45 minutes and again at 6pm. Still not reached 21deg. It has...

I keep all my passwords/logins in a spreadsheet on a usb stick and only plug it in when I need to find one. No passwords on the actual PC or laptop.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
We will be going for a Viessman boiler, not combi which is considered to be slightly better than a Worcester for around the same price (should be around £1000). To which must be added 2 days labour...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
They must have changed the rules fairly recently. I retired 5 years ago and worked 6 months after I was 65. When I claimed, my first payment included all the months from my 65th birthday.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

I use the rear and engine braking much more than the front. The front is for when I REALLY need to stop. Like yesterday when a Harley rider pulled out from a side road, saw his mate stopped on the...
