Recording being illegal depends on a lot of things. Really. Record away guys.

I had identical email cancellation about 10 days ago, for appointment that should have been yesterday. But they rang yesterday and said they would be round in 30 minutes. Which they were. I happened to be home.

He does recommend a modern Beko double (or better triple) filtered heat pump dryer. And clean the filters weekly. Beko supply spare parts and instructions which many rival companies do not.

I get this. But if you rent and then complain, do they comply or just send the thugs round to kneecap you, or whatever. Lol but not really lol.

It depends. I took stuff from my parents after they died. 1700s oak chest, passed down from Scotland 1800s brass candelsticks, solid wood chest of drawers, etc. Paintings/drawings. My mother always said what they were.

Not sure what you are allowed per year for roadside collection, but it is pretty decent here. I got rid of 3 broken bikes, a huge broken sofa (I dismantled it so it fitted the dimensions allowed) 2 broken chairs, a broken cupboard and more. Plus all my broken electric stuff, like vacuum, lamps, brok...

Not watching much UK stuff. VPN which is working for all my family is not working for me. I am using a different browser, just for UK stuff, so I can delete cookies etc. It is so random, as in it has not worked for 2 weeks, then suddenly last night all was dandy. Bummer.

Is it all about mining? "An outpost for deep space exporation". I thought the unmanned ones were doing a fantastic job. I get that it is all very very clever but I am giving a special Easter "bah humbug" to this.

I have been wondering/worrying about this issue too. My initial understanding was I should have got a permanent AU. Other people seemed to. But mine runs out next year, when my UK passport does. Am in BW.

Someone gave details about this. Something along the lines that it was easy early on to complete the ETA application and avoid mentiontiong you were a dual UK citizen as it was not provided as an option in the drop down list of nationalities to choose from. So you did not have to lie. But this has n...

Yes earky ETAs were easy to get without lying. Later ones not so.

Flumoxxed by people being blase about having right of way at junctions. Yes, right before left. We all know that (I hope!) But the sheer stupidity of not doing a quick glance all round. I was walking towards a junction today. I could hear screaming sirens very close by. I could also see an lovely ol...

And, just to be clear, British can relocate to Ireland and do this. Get same health/social/housing benefits as locals. And vote in most elections.

You are fine if you are dual Irish/British, it is the only exception where you do not have to have to use a British passport to visit UK. Any other dual British/something else needs to have and use a British passport to enter UK now. Noo rools innit.

meant to add this quote, sorry. "Dual citizen holders If you’re a dual citizen with British or Irish citizenship, you cannot apply for an ETA when you travel to the UK. Instead, you’ll need to prove your citizenship using: A valid British passport. A valid Irish passport. Another valid passport...

Yes, you do. Here is P&O advice.
