General Car Chat / Re: Shaguar anyone
« on: 15 March 2023, 12:36:28 »
Lovely motor and plenty of toys. These cars are aimed at the Personal Chauffeur use and not Prestige Chauffeur companies that ferry anyone about, or indeed the average Joe off the street. So a wealthy person buys the car and it’s use is solely to chauffeur them about. The thirsty V8 is of no consequence as the owner can afford to run it. 
The Lexus 600h falls in to a similar bracket.

I believe Opti had an XF-R, not an XJ.

An Omega driver is filming himself driving at speeds of up to 70mph on a two way road in an attempt to demonstrate a misfire.

As someone that loathes the BBC and has no interest whatsoever in football, I have only ever heard of MOTD and had no idea what it was about. As there is zero chance of me ever, ever ever watching a BBC channel I had to Google what MOTD is, and apparently it’s about watching highlights of a game that has already been played and can’t be changed, and then talking about it. A bit like watching Columbo, where you know what’s happened before you start watching it.
I’ll wager that Columbo is more interesting.

« on: 10 March 2023, 11:43:06 »After yesterday’s monsoon the little bit of snow we had here this morning came to nothing. It’s very windy though, the motorbike cover was making a bid for freedom until I roped it down.A monsoon in Oxford is just a drizzle in Yorkshire
We’re surrounded by rivers though, so the rain takes the water level above the road level. My brother-in-law used to row his boat to the village shop after a heavy downpour.
The ring road has been raised up, as apparently cars don’t react well to being six feet under water.

Not sure how they could be malicious, unless they have some hold over you. Even so, their attitude isn’t very nice is it, and based on that I wouldn’t help them anyway. Is there a limit to the BA Concessions, ie. Are you allotted a certain amount of people that you can help out with the concessions. If so, tell them that your concessions have been used up by family members so you can’t help (not that you are obliged to anyway).
You could report it to their superiors but why should you give them the courtesy of responding. Maybe I’m missing something here but if you have no association with them I don’t see what they can do if you just ignore the messages.
Contact BA,
? I can’t see what Mr T has to do with it.

General Car Chat / Re: MOT Today
« on: 07 March 2023, 09:09:27 »
I went to tax my wife’s car online on the 28th February for the 1st March and couldn’t……….. because her MOT also ran out on the 28th February. Luckily I managed to book an MOT for the next day so all sorted now. I blamed her of course as it’s her car. She’s put a reminder in her phone now.
She’d excelled herself this year, using her car for work five days a week and using it at weekends occasionally, her mileage has crept up to just over one thousand miles per year. She only has to put fuel in it about three times per year.

« on: 06 March 2023, 15:22:42 »Yz250 , thanks that is very informative. Could you switch off notifications on your phone and in effect leave your wife as primary user? Does “ guest” not have access to change settings?
…………….
Just to update, I’ve just had a look at her phone and the settings are understandably limited compared to the account holder. She can change tones for notifications and view history and Live View but can’t edit motion boundaries etc., so guessing it wouldn’t work for you unless a relative over here had set it up correctly on their phone.
Her main settings page just comes up as ‘You are viewing this as a guest’.

Quite right,
although she’s taking early retirement in July so all of these phantom jobs that I claim to do in the week I’ll be busted. The downside of having a Ring doorbell is that I can’t even pretend that I’ve been out for a long walk for exercise as she’d have picked me up on the doorbell app if I had been out.

………
Primary user can not be deleted as then the account would cease to exist but, as you say, the Primary user could switch off notifications completely on their phone so that could work for you.
It wouldn’t make the guest primary though, it would just mean that the primary account holder was ignoring the detection merely by changing their settings. When my wife comes home from work I’ll be able to answer that question better by looking at her phone.
