Ok for the caravanners amongst us.

Cooker and crapper in the same room. Nice and cosy.
Up until 1998 the UK still had the death penalty for treason and in fact it was only in 1973 that beheading for treason was abolished.
Today a British man was convicted of spying for Russia and was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
The total cost perhaps but Jag parts will cost the same.Using independent places won't make the parts any cheaper or more available.
Depends what parts we're talking about. If it's just standard brake consumables, as it sounds like, then it absolutely will make them cheaper.
Which of the equivalent cars(Audi, BMW etc) will actually be cheaper on service/consumable parts?
.. and anyone who's silly enough to buy genuine Jaguar parts for service/consumable bits deserves to be ripped off.
In the 3 1/2 years and 50+ K miles I've had my XE I haven't had to purchase one Jaguar part yet.
I bet you don't admit that on the Jag forums! It's probably a bannable offence?

British Gas. They move my account to a new platform, but there is no app available for that yet, apparently.
Surely, in this day and age, an app should be developed alongside any platform, not an afterthought.
Fikkin' useless mongrels, suspect its a punishment for giving them the piss-off pill over smart meters.
So, after years of waiting, Swish, Gigaclear and Openreach are all doing my estate this year. Just like the number 27 bus....
And if it's anything like our road, Gigaclear will arrive first and cut a nice neat trench next to the kerb and make good with the tarmac in a short time. Swish will follow and take an eternity to dig a trench zig-zagging all over the place and then Openreach will follow and repair the existing lines that Swish cut through digging their trench.
It appears to be just road laying and car parks out our way, I haven’t seen any track.You can't rush a good job. Especially when you can milk the Downing Street Magic Money Tree indefinitely.
Not quite sure I grasp why they need carparks with the capacity for a hundred cars every couple of miles. Or why they need to kerb their "temporary" construction roads, complete with safety barriers. But why not, its all "free" money
Never took mine north of 135, my private road was obviously shorter than yours ;-)
The joys of working late shifts and travelling home at silly o’clock in the morning. I stopped doing it when a Deer the size of a Moose casually walked across the bypass in front of me.
mms from the fighters (Frank 1&2 + Eagle 1&2) to their controlling agency (Huntress) suggest it was at 64000ft.
Sounds like there could be a case against the XF driver for dangerous driving ?
Deliberately and wilfully endangering other road users ?
Yep.
At minimum, you'd get a S3 "due care" offence home. My front and rear dash cam would show that all day long. But being brutally honest, it would also show me flooring it to keep passing him, when in reflection, I should have probably just dropped back and aborted the overtake
Dangerous driving has to be endorsed by CPS (being an "either way" offence) and the sad reality these days, is that you have to go some, beyond belief, to get someone into court for Dangerous Driving, as opposed to careless. And, with the new Attourney General disclosure guidelines, it's a ballache of a file to put together, meaning, only the worst of the worst "dangerous" cases ever get prosecuted. (Think, making off from police, driving along pavements full of kids, etc).
But... (and sorry to be cynical), what's the ficking point anymore. I could spend hours getting it into court, only for some softly softly magistrate to fine him the cost of a mars bar, because he has mental health issues, arising from 50 years ago he was offended by his mothers brothers friends sisters aunties cousins dog calling him a naughty name on facebook.
My bag of ficks is literally empty.... I just wrote him off as a wrist shaker, and continued my day....
That is shocking.
We have a friend in the East Midlands. Her neighbour is a good example. She has a good life on state support and a son who doesnt work. The reason? “ He openly admits he wouldnt be able to get up in a morning” They have streaming services.
Different network?
I would think that nheighbours streaming would only affect your connection if they are using your connection because it is via a sim, so effectively a personal connection rather than shared from the landline connection.
Back haul network is always the bottleneck, more users less to go around
Knowing the place as I do, it doesnt surprise me in the slightest.
