Interestingly, I received this SMS text on 23 September:
Hello, this is UK Power Networks. We own and maintain the cables which deliver electricity to your premises. We believe someone in your household is eligible for free priority support in the event of a power cut. We want to make sure you don't miss out on this support and will shortly be including your household on our Priority Services Register. You can opt out by texting UKPN OPT OUT to 60650, messages you send are free. You can also find out more here https://www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/extra-support
Presumably, it's because I'm over 65, but this is the first time I've ever received such a message and is a clear indication that power cuts are in the cards.

This is truly worrying, but no-one seems to know about it.

« on: 31 August 2024, 20:16:59 »This thread has made me both happy and sad. Happy that there are so many dog lovers on here, but sad because I am still grieving over the loss of my chocolate Labrador in June. Over the course of almost 14 years he became, not just a dog, but a best mate.So sorry to hear about Buttons :'(
I know I need another, but my memories of 'Buttons; are still fresh. Can any anyone who has lost a beloved pooch let me know how to move on, dog-wise?
Do nothing for now, it's very easy to fill that hole quickly and then realise, too late, that you've made a mistake. Give yourself time to get used to your new routine and then you'll be in a position to make a decision based on practicality rather than emotions.
I found my life to be empty without Poppy, but there are a lot of things we give up to make sure Kenny has a good life. Not everyone will want to do the same but, of course, you have vast experience of having a dog.
You never forget, I still call Kenny 'Pops' now and again, but you know there's no substitute for that bond you form with your (new) best mate.
If I were you I'd set a date, maybe after Christmas, and see how I felt then. Just my opinion.
Thanks, Steve. Nice words and good advice.

General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?
« on: 26 August 2024, 20:49:45 »
Brand new door actuator arrived on Saturday so, with fine weather and no work interruptions, chose to install it today.
Bloody fiddly, but the door opens again with the fob. Job done!

This is stunning. How can these cars be abandoned like this? Look at that Jag XJS, 7K and an amazing number plate!

According to the poll on here before the GE, three OOF members said they were going to vote Labour. I hope they are suitably remorseful.
Can you believe Starmer will bring this in?

..and before people start going on about Geoff, remember that he is basically quoting from the Telegraph.

« on: 09 August 2024, 13:07:58 »Indeed and I feel if these and others such as the Labour councillor spouting out hatred, such as cutting of throats continue with impunity, there will be a regrouping and things will get far worse. We’ve all said this was coming for years, but unfortunately the various governments are far too stupid and failed to understand that people are pissed off. There again they could have some sort of agenda? Being controlled by aliens? ( there are humans who can fit this criteria) there’s just got to be something going on, everyone can see it apart from the ones who have the power at least to try fixing the problems. I agree that all this rioting is bad, but the majority of these people have nothing left to try, continuing to try for the governments attention falls on deaf ears, I’m afraid there are many now who are of the mindset that enough is enough and feel it’s all they have left wrongly or rightly.
I got pilloried on here for warning about the WEF.
Starmer is knee-deep in the WEF.

Just found an actuator in my shed. Can't remember if it works or not. How can I test it before stripping the door card off?
