Yep. I’ve just read the warranty exclusions and can’t see any exclusion for that, unless of course it’s my fault which it isn’t. Worked fine last time I went to fill up and I didn’t do anything different to normal (not that you really could)Quote:

Worth knowing that if it's a well known and common fault with a car that even a reasonable time outwith warranty that manufacturers should essentially cover it. Worked with MINIs for a few years and they had very common faults with the drivetrain and the sheer amount of new engine blocks you seen waiting to be fitted in a MINI garage was insane. Even outwith warranty the manufacturer often folded and replaced it FOC.Quote:

Tesco squash. It used to be double concentrated which gave a little bit of leaway if you were a bit heavy or light with your pour. It's now quadruple concentrated and just one drop too much leaves you with a nuclear strength drink that puts hairs on your eyeballs.

I have to say it's been a bit better of late, apart from the lifestyle and restaurant guide crap.
It's quite a novelty when they manage to actually print the racecard for the main meeting of any particular day. Is anyone that bothered about Beverley when Newbury is on?Quote:

Having your flight back to Edinburgh delayed, arriving in the early hours of the morning.
1. When we transit through baggage reclaim and customs to discover the doors into the main airport are locked. There's no staff anywhere to be seen, no means of communication with the airport, and people have to resort to banging on the door to gain someone's attention in order to exit the airport. I mean, it's not as though our landing was a surprise.
2. When you then get back to to exit the car park to discover that you've been charged extra for staying beyond your expected exit time. As if the flight delay wasn't bad enough in itself, I'm now being charged for the delay.

Well, I say "locked". They are automatic doors and they were closed and wouldn't open. So I'm not sure if locked is technically correct but they were closed and we couldn't open them.Quote:

I assume pairs of swing doors, if so with a serious amount of pressure then they will give. But on first impressions they will appear locked. In an emergency they would open.Quote:

If the product provided meets expectations that's the transaction completed as far as I'm concerned, cannae be arsed to provide feedback on multiple websites unless a problem has arisen.Quote:

Then there’s the folk on Etsy that will only accept a return/exchange if you change/give your feedback as 10/10.Quote:

I don't sell stuff on ebay, never been turned down as a buyer anytime I've tried to buy something so it's all good.Quote:

Yes. In a country with a whole infrastructure set up to deal with heat. Next to a pool. In a hotel or apartment with tiled floors and built to reflect heat. Not sitting in a carpeted house or office built to retain heat or working exposed on a building site. Even in countries that are built for heat there is an extreme element to 40+ degrees. 70K people died during the 2003 heat wave in Europe.
Don't even get me started on the 'it was hot in 1976' brigade.
Heat is no joke, before the game last week I sat outside for about 3 hours, kept reapplying sun cream but must have missed my left shin and ankle, it's still decimated a week laterQuote:

Some people keep calm and survive the heatwave of 1976 and onwards. Others compete for the Darwin awards.
Then we do it all again for the 'extreme' winter conditions.
1976 was dry in June and July, it was at least 6 weeks without rain in Edinburgh but the temperature wasn't as high as now.Quote:

She was from Delhi where it's 50c every day in summer and Perth at 30+c most days felt cold for her.
Reminds me of the 6 months I spent in Cyprus. In the winter months the locals would sit outside their shops wearing thick wool pullovers and heat their hands using calor gas heaters whilst we were running around in the 25 degrees wearing shorts and t-shirts.Quote:

How do they get away with using ebikes at the speed they go but stick a small engine on it like a moped and drive at the same speed, it needs to be licensed, road worthy and a helmet worn.
In the UK and EU I think that they are limited to 15.5mph and the electric motor has to state what wattage it is, think there is a max of 250w, if it exceeds any of them then it's classed as a moped and you need the relevant license and insurance etc, not sure the polis go about checking them thoughQuote:

You can get 500 and 1000W bicycle motors but many suppliers (like cyclotricity mentioned above) just get you to sign a waiver confirming it will only be used on private land. There are also codes and chips that de-restrict legit bikes that use the mainstream Bosch (or suchlike) motors.Quote:

Different pet peeve related to e-bikes. There's a fair few teenagers round here who have e-bikes and the done thing seems to be to wear a balaclava with them, like proper IRA/UVF style, completely covering the face with holes for the eyes and mouth. It feels quite threatening, particularly when they are riding along secluded footpaths. The other thing they do is one will go ahead and stop ahead of you whilst they wait on the other one behind. It makes you feel as if they are trying to corner you. I half expect them to pull out a burner phone Line of Duty style.
What's the need?
There is a guy on the tram watching a full on TV show on his phone and no headphones, everyone can hear it, some folk just have no consideration for other people, as usual it will be left to me to say something
Silly lassies (mostly) pushing a buggy onto a busy road with a mobile phone glued to their faces

On the bus going to work yesterday, we’re stopped at the red lights at the foot of Lothian Rd. The bus is in the outside lane, and there's a heavily pregnant woman standing at the island in the middle of the road waiting to cross.Quote:

The cyclist manages to avoid her, which would have been a dull one for both of them, but she takes a bad fall. The bus moved off before I could see how it ended but she was getting help up and didn’t look too hurt but i imagine she’ll have wanted to get seen to to check the baby was ok etc
She’s lucky it was a cyclist and not a car or bigger as anything going faster than the bike would have hit her.
All down to a really stupid decision to cross.
Yup. It was.Quote:

Also heavily pregnant, I was crossing towards Frasers with the green man. I was passing in front of the bus on the other side of the traffic island when the light started changing and the car on the pavement side whose view was obscured by the bus, sped off without checking if there were any pedestrians still on the road. Missed me and a few others by centimetres.
There's a lesson in there, somewhere :greengrin
In my job I see this regularly on a daily basis, survival of the fittest I call it, people are thick ****ers at times.
Instagram posters who post still photos as reels. Why?
How when it’s time for me to give the dog a bath she always seems to find a muddy puddle or a bog.
She came home covered in mud and it now looks like there’s been an explosion in the bathroom.

Instagram is far better than Facebook and its still pretty push. The difference though its mostly just pictures and videos of friends you follow. Where as Facebook is just full of pish videos and articles and rubbish really.Quote:

For all the downsides of social media it isn't without it's positives either.
I love the access to relatively niche subjects. I subscribe to YouTube channels about aviation. Something I can't really share with my mates in the real world because it's a source of hilarity to them that I enjoy videos about planes and flying. I follow Instagram accounts that deal with the same subject. Same with running. It makes access to top coaches and the like borderline accessible.
I suppose it depends how you use it. I can find it really draining and negative but that is usually when I am being argumentative and allowing it to annoy me. Other times it's hugely informative, accessible and good fun.
Agreed. Funny you mention cos I'm a bit of a plane geek. I love 2nd World War aviation. If you can recommend good channels then PM me [emoji106]Quote:

People who don’t turn their phone off or to silent at a show. I was at the opera last night and someone’s phone went off in the row behind me. Fair enough, they could have forgotten to turn it to silent. It then went off 3 more times. If that had been me, I’d have turned it to silent after the first time!
