We live not far from Headcorn. The roads are absolutely terrible round here. We’ve also just had a major road out of village shut for 14 weeks while SE Water did some so-called improvements to the water mains.

True story. Donkeys years ago my ex wife worked in a John Lewis department store. There was a small Waitrose within this particular store, and my ex knew the manager from a previous JL store where they’d worked. It was customary for the Waitrose manager to write off damaged or out of date goods...

Get used to it. I’ve had two wins in the last 6 months, the rest of the time : zilch. Premium Bonds are generally not a good investment vehicle. If you want a guaranteed return that you can’t touch you’d be much better off sticking the money in a long term savings bond. The only real benefits...

I’m aware there isn’t such a department, it was meant sarcastically. ;)

They’ve done books before and you rarely see much, if any, of the content, they concentrate on the book guy repairing the covers, boards and binding. How was any viewer supposed to read these “inappropriate” jokes anyway, unless they zoomed right in on the pages? Complete overkill, probably...

She’s pretty good. Still nothing like I imagined Scarpetta from the book, but much better than Nicole Kidman plays her.

Probably good that you haven’t read the books to be fair, as IMO Nicole Kidman is nothing like the book character. We’ve watched a few episodes and thought it was…. hmmm, okay. Jamie Lee Curtis steals every scene she’s in.

Must admit I’d be quite happy with £275. Got nothing this month.

We live in the sticks. Shopping at a bricks and mortar business can involve driving anything between 20 and 40 minutes and then possibly paying for parking when we get there. Whereas Amazon deliver to our doorstep, usually the next day. They’ll also let you send things back for free, with...

Fair enough then. :)

Are they allowed to open the garage though? Genuine question. It’d be entering private property… is that legal? Plus it would add time to their delivery round.

The problem for plug in hybrids is they’re going to get clobbered with pay per mile surcharges soon. Luckily we’ve got a self charging hybrid, which is still exempt.

We love Greece and have been to various islands and the mainland lots of times. The prices have shot up in recent years… Greece used to a be a cheap holiday but not any more. Tried Madeira @Pixbarmy? It’s a lovely island with very low crime. The only downside really is there’s not many...

Have a look at the Uswitch site, they’ll give you various options for your area. BTW if you haven’t already sorted out your sim deal, I switched to Smarty a few months ago and have found them excellent, they were also a third of the price of the 02 contract I had before. Smarty use the Three...

My brother in law lives in the US, Home Owner Associations (HOA’s) for estates are really common over there too. My BiL’s one are very strict… residents on his estate can only paint the outside of the houses in a certain range of colours, they get snotty letters if they don't keep the outside...
