    Beware of air conditioner scams

    I bought a portable a couple of years ago, it's by a heavily curtained window in the smallest bedroom so the there's a gap for the pipe, and I've done my best to cover that gap so the hot air escapes. On full blast 16c for 15 mins it does cool the room down markedly, when used after sunset on a...

    Manchester Metrolink (Non speculative discussion)

    I'm on the tram Manchester Victoria to Oldham on Saturday,, the only change to the normal service is they run every 15 mins, am I correct?

    Reform UK discussion

    One thing in Bin's favour is if he gets into parliament, as an one-off individual MP he can't really cause any harm, so all those wanting to vote against Farage have the perfect route, whereas if, say, the Greens stood against Farage, those anti-Farages might also not like green policies so they...

    World Cup 2026

    If a non-European played in Europe, FIFA probably couldn't stop that, but they could prevent him playing elsewhere within FIFA after?

    World Cup 2026

    Just a thought that's spreading around twitter - did Trump think the suspension meant US would play Belgium with only 10 men? After all he knows nothing about the game, so it's plausible but Infantino mis-read Trump and went for the "oh, he can play after all if it pleases you" button, instead...

    World Cup 2026

    Thread "what made you happy today?" Belgium. Made me VERY happy today. Go the Red Devils, the very first time I've wanted something in orange to lose!! No doubt someone will be saying " four postal goals went missing, count them and we won bigly".

    The Future of Pendolinos (Class 390): Post West Coast

    I was under the impression that any trains using the new HS2 would be brand new so they could get up to maximum speed, reading the above it seems it will be a mix of old and new stock; or has that simply not yet been decided? Anyhow my question is, if the aging Pendolino's are kept, and...

    A scam phone calls and emails discussion.

    I have to fill in a tax form every year, and a couple of years ago installed "the app" and I'm ashamed to say it works like a dream! After filling in my form on-line when I owe anything it lets me know, when to pay it and click a button and it's paid. Therefore no need for letters or scam...

    Manchester Metrolink: how could it be improved?

    Would be more helpful if displays at stops were like train station displays by listing all calling points, rather than destination!

    Manchester Metrolink: how could it be improved?

    Even as a local, it's difficult to know even if at Victoria if your tram's for Piccadilly or not. I like the idea of naming lines, even if coloured, maybe the trams could be coloured as per line, rather than the custard colour it is now?

    "Afternoon Flyer" on Wightlink - foot passenger

    Thanks, so if I wanted to travel on a different service I would have to re-book (on the app?), can't just show up with my original ticket?

    "Afternoon Flyer" on Wightlink - foot passenger

    Just bought myself a Portsmouth Harbour - Ryde Pier with the IOW Pride 20% discount. Had to put in departure times both out and return; the ticket is valid from mid-day. Can this ticket be used on ANY service or am I stuck with the times I chose? I've looked at the T/C's and it neither says I...

    Companies That You Expect to Disappear Soon

    I found it very useful to still have our town's branch when my parents died and I was dealing with the estate and probate, with all the forms etc. would have both hated and worried if vital documents had to be sent through the post. I know banking hubs are being set up in a lot of paces where...

    Running Out of Fuel

    My thought too - could the fuel tank be ruptured in any way, and if so, how would a driver know? To be honest it's hard to think how that might happen but it's a possibility?

    World Cup 2026

    This game - Ned v Morocco is very attritional, two strong and physical sides but cancelling out. Come on Oranje!

    World Cup 2026

    Probably the longest Scotland have ever been at a WC, thanks to those extra three days! It's that first minute v Morocco that killed them. 4 points would have seen them through.
