I bought Nextorage cards, very happy with them. They get good reviews and are a decent combination of quality, reliability and price. I’ve got an R5 Mk1 rather than mk2 but don’t think that makes much difference.

Until you get the dreaded trolley check :eek::) We’ve been doing the scan as you shop thing for ages, so much easier and beats the queues most of the time.

Possible that it might have been an agreed death (mercy killing/assisted suicide/whatever you want to call it ) I suppose? I presume the police, coroner etc have to follow certain protocol before it’s decided it’s definitely foul play.

Same here.

You need a big chunk invested to stand a reasonable chance of winning, even then you’d probably do better putting the money into a decent savings account. The only real advantages to PB are any winnings are tax free, plus there’s always the remote possibility you’ll win big.

It’s only a bank holiday in Scotland. ;) The draw will take place on Monday 3rd, the results will be released on Tuesday 4th.

I used to live close to the Welsh Harp reservoir in NW London. You’d quite often see Bill Oddie over there watching the waterfowl and migrating birds. I think Kate Humble’s description of him as “irascible” is probably right as he was generally very grumpy, assuming he even acknowledged you in...

Mine too. I’m pretty sure you can choose whatever type of card you like for payment purposes.

Some are, but there are decent ones as well, and it’s not just down to what they charge. My mum went into a home a couple of years back : it was a fairly new purpose built home with good facilities and she was treated extremely well.

Half an hour for a wet shave? Blimey! I would guess he’s doing the complete ritual with a badger brush, proper shaving soap and a cut throat razor? I cant be bothered with all that nonsense .. a couple of minutes with a tin of shaving gel and a Harry’s razor does me just fine.

Every insurance company seems to do that, they just hope you can’t be bothered to look around and swallow it. Our car insurance was up for renewal recently and had a fairly large increase over last year. I put the details into one of the comparison sites and got lots of cheaper quotes, so I...

Yup it’s completely switched round, mobiles are the cheapest option for calls now. We have family in the US and use WhatsApp to message and do video chats, all at no cost. My ancient mum always refused to give up her landline and got enormous bills every quarter because she’d use it to ring...

Often you can just put the number into google or duck duck go and it’ll come up with suggestions. From there it’s usually easy to figure out whether it’s a spam call. We’ve still got a landline. Although it’s never used by us for calling out, sometimes an old and very technophobic neighbour...

Lucky you! Nothing here in the South East, it’d be great to have at least some relief to the heat. I do love watching a thunderstorm at night .

Part of the problem was slug bait being so toxic, which had a knock on effect on hedgehogs. Now the nastier bait has been banned that might help a bit. Must admit I have never once seen a hedgehog where we live, despite us being in a country village, with our house backing onto open farmland...
