Thing is sammy if I had noticed before hand I wound of gone with the next cheapest, about £10 on principle. Every year when I get a house insurance quote I ring ask what I was paying last year and ifs it roughly the same just renew. Im stubborn and if I feel I'm been taken for a ride then they get no more business from me, I will never have sky again, although I'm possible blacklisted! I also had a dispute with O2 over a £500 phone bill, nearly went to small claims court but they backed down a week before. I did make the calls but a spike from £35 for two years to £500 with no warning even my bank took the money back on the spike with no warning, needless to say I'm not with O2 anymore. Im use to fighting for money and making small claims court claims for work. None have gone to court as typically the judge will side against the small man against the big companies, as long as you have a fair case. I love o2, no honestly, best service, best price, best company, they stopped doing broadband though, so I was transferred to sky automatically. Rang sky told them I didn't want to be with them, got my broadband unlimited for £2 per month, couldn't argue with that so gave them a chance, they are not as good as o2.
Same as you, was with O2 no complaints and got transfered to sky. My business phone is with O2, on an old cellnet contract at £7.50 a month, this month they decided no more paper bills unless I paid £2.50 per month extra, so another third on my bill, went online to get latest bill as suggested, what a palaver, told them as a business I could not do this every month, they would have to email me the bill, cannot do that, ok I said explain that Customs and Excise when they decide they want to see the bills for the VAT i'm claiming, suddenly they could email them, although waiting to see if they actually do. VAT bills are treated as a luxury by these companies, even though they essential to business. MP |

I have sky telephone and broadband, with no complaints, but today got a second letter informing me that line rental was increasing £1 in December, no big deal as service is cheap, letter told me to check other side to see how it affected me, other side was just like reading an add, no relavance to me, so gave them a call (had to google number, dont expect your phone supllier to give contact number), very quick connection and confirmed £1 increase, so the lady said next months bill £21.40, Decembers £32.40, hang on thats £11 increase, oh yes your broadbands out of contract then so increasing by £10, of course not happy, so she suggested I call cancel team, result my bill will increase by £1 a month now.
These companies are just devious, if I treated customers this way, i'd quickly run out of customers.
Moral do not believe all they send you, ring and check, then moan.

Does not look good value for money.
We needed some display stands for fossils we had collected, specialist shops and ebay were quoting stupid prices, but we got sorted in local shop outfitters for £3 each, so it pays to look around.

mart166Prob alarm and door electrics and stuff slowly trickle the battery down after a few weeks. Best just disconnect it when leaving then ? I know, problem is I always think taking it out for run next wednesday then something crops up, annoys me that car manufacturers do not consider this when giving bells and whistles, they are nice but at end of day I want car that starts after i ignored it for a few weeks, my little knockabout never fails, i suppose because the central locking dont work, the window winders are unpredictable and it's whole electric package adds up to an interior light lol. I'd never buy a hybrid car, can you imagine when the batteries on them play up ??? MP |

That made me laugh.
My local garage fitted a Yuasa battery to my car when a replacement was needed, telling me they done me a favour because of cheap price, i'd told them to fit best battery available. It's 2 years old now, car is huge with lots of electrics and stands for 2-3 weeks at a time unused (i have knockabout for everyday), yet it starts first time after 3 weeks non-use, have to accept any longer and its flat. So do Yuasa do 18650's ??? lol

Just been to local shop for milk, spotted traffic warden outside ticketing cars, rushed in to tell shopworker, oh dont worry he said his here everyday ticketing my car, you cannot have that i said, nothing i can do he replied council allow us one parking permit for shop, thats used on our van, everythiung else goes down to running costs of shop. This is a quiet backroad in my area not a major street and his car was in a residents parking bay. Why should he working 16-18 hours a day be penalised by a council that hands out money to unemployables like its christmas, makes me sick.

Good find. Like you was annoyed at my Vamo getting knocked over in living room, so I bought one of these www.fasttech.com/products/1854100Trouble is it looks a bit pathetic sitting on table with just the Vamo in, so if anyone wants to donate a couple of Provaris or any other mod over £100 to fill it up and make it look good do not hesitate to PM me, might even chip in a few pence for postage.

My I4 going strong after 18 months, but I have read of plenty of problems, maybe there are too many clones out there.
Only problem i've had is this weekend, stuffed 4 18650's in it, dont think your meant to do that, but I was at home so would hear the bang if it played up (I charge in a fireproof area), but it took the little sod 24 hours to charge the bats, sure someones going to tell me i should not have done it, but if its got 4 bays why not use them.

Mum bought similar one to that few years ago, used it on my paving stones in garden, removed moss and crap, but also all the cement in between, so use with caution. MP |
