Why does the app for my car's dashcam only work if I turn off the mobile data BEOFRE I open the app? Had a kit fitted to Lady Poppy's car today and managed to get the app working on her phone once home again but you have to disable mobile data on her phone too. Barmy. And her elderly Nokia 5 won't play the video clips so if something does happen she'll have to wait to get the memory card home before she can view them. FFS.
I think Blackvue has optimised the app for fruit-based phones and not Droids, as the fitter's phone hooked straight in without switching anything off first and could not believe I had to jump through so many hoops just to connect to something that should be click and play.

![]() My GOTD is the shockingly bad way the NEC treats bikers that arrive by car. Today I was forced into the furthest away car South carpark, itself annoying. Why can't we use the three empty car parks I had to walk past on my 15 minute hike to the show halls? And when I decided to leave and it was pouring with rain, the shuttle busses all decided to take people to the East carparks and ignored the growing queue at the South busstop. When the sixth bus in a row stopped at the East busstop, and I could see the driver laughing at us (I'd been waiting almost 30 mins by this point), several of us all said sod it, and walked. My jeans were still wet when I got home two hours later.

As a past blood donor I regularly get emails asking for urgent donations. Had another one today, so logged on and there's no available appointment between now and March at my location.
This happens every time, so it's not an isolated incident. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

♫ Nothing Rusts...
...Like a Bosch ♫ My 2 year old Bosch fridge/freezer has developed rust at the base of the freezer handle. The handle is inset into the door and a plastic piece is pushed into the indent. I think someone struggled to push the insert into position during manufacturing and used a tool to persuade it to go in, damaging the enamel. Bosch thinks I used a harsh abrasive despite me telling them I've only used soapy water. We do have hard water here (j/k). Their answer is to sell me some touch up paint for £24. I declined.

My smart meter is informing me that I have exceeded my weekly budget. I didn't know I had one. Oops.
I'm assuming it means I have used more than the monthly amount I pay Bulb/Octopus (whoever's in charge) and the house is still only 64°F. I read that most cavity wall insulation is only guaranteed for 25 years. Mine must be at least that old so I've contacted a company to see if can be topped up or removed and replaced. I think mine is a rockwool type. Anyone had theirs changed?
