Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Gripe with myself. Thought I better check when the ER6 mot was due thinking it was April. Had four days left. Great service from Orwells Suzuki and got it dropped in and done this afternoon.

Over banding
The local authority here have decided to repair the roads by over banding without fine aggregate in the bitumen. Including on a small major roundabout by my house which already has brick shoulders and an adverse camber. Now can't take the roundabout at more than a snails pace on the bike and keep getting cars pulling out on me because I'm so slow on it. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
And cc your MP. They'll say that roads are not within their control but most likely write to whoever you write to as well to say they expect to be told what is happening following your concerns. Sometimes a letter on that Commons headed paper seems to speed things up.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I hit a damaged rubber type speed bump and tore something off the bottom of my car once. It had been like that for ages. I took photos and made a claim against the council. Strangely enough it was repaired the same day.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Did you win the claim? They would have repaired it ASAP to prevent more people claiming.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
HP desktop pc's. Mine has stopped working so I took the side off, used an air duster which covered me in fluffy gunge, tried it again and... nothing. Powers up but the hard drive is not spooling up. For goodness sake - it's only seven years old Off to PC World tomorrow to see if they can fix it cheaper than the £500 it will cost to replace it.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
If you have the side off still, just make sure the power cable to the drive is fully seated.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
What spec are you looking for for £500? I bought an Asus desktop last week from PC World for just under £330. AMD A-7800, 8gb memory, 3tb hard drive and integrated graphics, Lan & Bluetooth. Windows 10.
Plenty for my needs as I don't do games like Call of Duty etc.
