It's not the stupidest question (if they were going to give you a discount for every non external facing lock), some locks don't have a key at the other side (think they call them passage locks) which means it's harder to lockpick or snap them. Obviously that wouldn't be all doors though
But I had already told them there is a front and rear entrance door and they are both fitted with a mortice dead lock. You wouldn't have main front and rear doors that didn't open from both sides.

I don't know if this is a Gripe or a WTF people selling PS5 on eBay has gone crazy. Someone has a PHOTO of a console and not the console itself for £40k!

If nobody bought them the problem would be cured. If d1ckheads want to pay stupid money to save waiting a couple of months let them.

I'll be waiting for the stock to be back in the shops.

I've always bought my PlayStation just as the revised version (slim) version comes out. Saying that I'm still on the PS3. I don't play a lot of games these days so its main use is as a bluray player.

I try to avoid buying first run consoles, best to let any bugs or issues get worked out first.

My lad hit a big f*ck*ng pothole on the way home and looks like either a track rod or lower suspension arm is bent as the driver's side front wheel is out of alignment. Also damaged the alloy, although the tyre's holding pressure.

Hoping we can get it sorted in the morning, and photos have been taken so we're going to take it up with the council. fixmystreet.com shows two other people have flagged potholes in the same area on the same road in the past week.

My local council were good at refunding me after i had a tyre go after hitting a pot hole.
Sent them the invoice/cost for the replacement and had a cheque within a month.
