That is exactly my thinking. He want something newer that has better fuel economy. Sorry I got my numbers mixed up. He only has to make a £1,000 contribution. There is no remaining period exactly although he is paying £300 per month. To pay off the remaining £7500. This will take 2 years...

We have an issue as one of is not very good with money. I have a bit of a conundrum I wanted to share with you: He currently owns a Ford that he bought for £10,000 on finance. He still owes a large amount left on it and has lost money as he owes more that the £7,500 it is worth. His monthly...

What are they intended for then? Only scenario I can think of is frequently visiting an elderly relative in the hospital until they inevitably die.

If you were going to bed, there would have been no harm in simply allowing it to do the updates and then shut down. There is even an option for this on the start menu. Sadly, if you keep delaying the updates, eventually you will no longer be able to postpone them any longer. This clearly...

Drinking for for 5 whole hours?

I can understand how it is slightly misleading to depict a photo of an EMR train that displays Luton Airport on its departure board. However, this style of advertising is very common these days. For example, inside the terminal there are similar Thameslink adverts, with the tagline that "London...

This is true, although it has not stopped us still writing postal towns on letters today as opposed to simply a door number and post code

Unfortunately, you struggle with great difficulty. I once flew back from Turkey to Luton and slept on the floor from 23:30 to 08:00 before taking the Thameslink down to St Pancras and taking the Eurostar to Amsterdam to save money on hotels

Who? Apparently the person who created this thread does for example. They are not happy that the train does not terminate at Luton Airport as per the photo but continues onwards to Corby

Yes it does

You might have been on the same train as me. I travelled back from Newcastle on Monday and was approached by several beggars all wanting money just out side St Pancras. I offered one of them an un-opened tuna sandwich and was told they don't like tuna. Beggars can't be choosers as they say

Because after Luton it continues to Corby as a semi fast service

What is also not debatable is that the area was formally Middlesex until 1965, as you should aware. The airport was built long before Middlesex was encompassed by Greater London. To date if you look at Heathrow‘s website their addresses is still Hounslow, Middlesex.

In the 1930s when the airport was built, most of the other area was Middlesex

Hmmm debatable these days as the Greater London boundary has extended much too far. Heathrow is only just inside M25
