General Car Chat / Ferrari 308
« on: 15 June 2023, 17:49:28 »
Just seen an old Magnun PI tv series episode.

Got me thinking of all the Ferrari range past and pressent. ::)

We had a Ferrari Dino 246 and a Daytona 365 GTB + 400i at work and of the 3 I loved the Daytona.

But styling wise its got to be the 308 range for me. :P :P

Modern day it would be a SF90. :y

What  f**king performance :-X

My Llyods bank shut it's doors last week along with a dozen other of it's branches. :-\

On a day out las week my main Bank Santerder refused some of my cash because I have a 3rd party pay it in.

I have the option of a Natwest in the same village that Llyods closed in or a TSB a couple of villages away. :y

So asked about opening a new account paying higher interest as I could get the online appliction to open.

1st guy gave good account info but advised it may be advantages to open a basic + high % account in that order.  He proceeded and tranfered me to another account adviser to set me up as I dont have any photo ID.

In the process I get cut off by THREE due to thier weak 4G singals and non existant 5G issues

Then I get online working after it failed the 1st time round, set up an account, get a tempory account reserved, put through to thier HooYu system and took a selfie which was accepted and thier system crashed. :-\

Anoher 20 mins trying to get through on the the phone again to then be passes from piller to post for another 20 mins.

So todays result.....

Lost more of the little of the hair I have left.

Still fed up of being talked over after being asked something and in process of giving a reply.

On another note.  Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) have stopped using ATM cards But have a local branch to me that will accept my 3rd party paying in cash without any limtations.

People wonder why banks are closeing left right and centre.


NEED BEER ::) ::)

The fun begins

I had seperate smart meters fitted a while back, since then they have stopped communicateing.  3 times they have made appontments to change them, all appointments cancelled due to the fact I was billed seperately and not duel fuel billing.

To correct this I arranged to change to duel fuel billing, it was explained this could only be completed if the meters were read and the bills brought up to date.

So 1st May payment sent of £175.00 for electric.
9th May meters read
9th Elec in credit by       £ 92.72
       Gas in credit           £ 66.00
9th.  Combined balance  £333.72  :y
Added          £16.28 =   £350.00  :y

Electric smart meter fitted on 12th.  issue fitting Gas so still waiting to complete.

Credit balance of £350.00 12th AM, close of day was £500.32 in ARREARS.

Been billed again on 29th and am now £631.27 in ARREARS. (without any meter readings posted by EON.

I Think thier computer is having a hissy fit.  :-\ :-\

Bearing in mind I was in credit for both accounts this is just Mondays new accounts.

General Discussion Area / Just a thought - Car Reg Cloneing
« on: 07 May 2023, 10:00:27 »
Just planning a trip to London, looking up charges etc.

I got to thinking and wondering how many cars/number plates were cloned to avoid paying charges.

Then started wonder if vehicles had a bar code for charges (with VIN number inc) and how efficient it would be.  Or maybe there is something like this in place as I am often behind on following technology these days

General Discussion Area / Insurance Renewal Time
« on: 22 April 2023, 12:50:37 »
It is coming to that time of year again.

I have been with the RAC insurance for the last 2 years and just recieved next months renewal price.

Your renewal price: £219.87
Last year's total: £201.05


Got to be honest I am surprised with the price. :y

I then had a look on the comparison sites and found I can get cover for as low as £156 with Esure (I think it was) ::)

My Galaxy S7 Edge is getting out of date  Seems to be like the Wheel Tappaer & Shunters Social Club when trying to speak to people, I hear them but when the phone heats up they struggle to hear me.


Keep seeing the Galaxy S23 Ultra advertised and the Google Pixel Pro 7

Both seem excellent phones neither are cheap Google is £800/900 the S23U is £1400 (512GB version)

Dont know anyone who has either of these so wonderd if anyone in OOF land has got either of them.

Am leaning towards the Galaxy  as I have been using thier mobiles for years with out too much hassle.

Looked at USwitch offering some amazing contracts but cant take my old number.  (Unlimited Data/text/calls for same as I pay for 4Gb unlimted.

Could go via my phone provider and get interest free for 12/24/36 months with options for varible upfront paymts.

Also Paypal pay by 3 via my credit card delays 1st paymets depending on purchase date.

At the moment the camera on the S24 Ultra is swinging the choice.

I hate to owe money  :-\
I am very indecicive  ::)
I am getting . . . .  :-X

the list goes on and on.

Went to cancel the service, They took the £8.99 (Increased cost) 2 days ago, so expected the service to carry on the end of October.

On the drop down menu it showed the Prime options so off I went to cancel the subscription.  1 second later it seems I signed up for the anual subsctiption.
 :-\
I now have 2 refunds due back to me (£8.99 + £95) :y
