Thanks that’s what I thought

If you are not going to be receiving any more income for this tax year (Until 5th April 2019) at all, and are going to get no benefits whatsoever then you can either call and tell them this or fill in a P50 form and send it through the post or fill out a form online and could get the tax back earlier than the end of the tax year. I think you have to have not been working for at least four weeks until you can send in the request though.

I see the same. No mention of it :/

On mine it says I don't owe money and then it says I do?!?

I don't need this....I get regular emails informing me of my latest refund. I think I've had 127 refunds this year alone.

wasn't refering to the speed but... oh well

Heat added, thanks. I has two occasions 3 years ago where my tyre burst due to the pot hole. Didn't know I could claim at that time!!

Nope,Speed limit was 60 I was well within it.......can’t all driver like Sunday dodderers

Cracked my alloys blew my tyre made a complaint show them pictures of potholes didn't get nothing from them waste of time

I hope we learned something that day

I do use my vote. I accept the DVLA is not good and think we have much bigger things to worry about anf lobby MPs for. Still doesnt mean we should celebrate mediocrity. though it seems 4000 degrees of heat would disagree with me and feel this nonsense is a better deal than 95% of actual deals. Strange world we live in.

WTF... you want competition in the DVLA ? you have a choice... use your vote! lobby your MP with your problems.

Try during the week.

Keep getting Due to a technical problem we can’t display your details right now. Please try again later

Possible Topcrashback on this....

You do know that your so called public transport is subsidised to the hilt!

Fair play. Unfortunately with crap public transport there is no incentive for people to not drive.

May not be ideal for everyone - useful for those who can’t make use of the reduced public transport services during the festive period :) Every little helps! (angel)

That is exactly what I said about subsidies distorting true costs. If car owners are subsidising folks like me, then I agree that isn't right. At the same time, raising council taxes just because property prices went up also doesn't make sense. The reality is that the tax system is badly broken and no politician has the courage to fix it, unless he / she has no plans to stand for election later.

Cold. Shouldn't be encouraging people to use their cars.

Insulting ones intelligence is one thing, calling someone who “pays” his taxes an idiot I suggest you look up the definition in the Oxford dictionary. obviously you need to remove the vehicle off the road hence the reason for SORN’ing the car

I doubt any of us are if you live in America.

I found this very helpful this week as my car failed it's MOT. I could look this up and see all the details before getting back to the garage, Also garages are notorious for not calling when they have finished with your car. The MOT updates as soon as it is done so I could check online and find out if it was done or not.

*Sigh* This can only be used by the dealer who registered the vehicle in the first place and MUST be received within 7 days of the registration taking place. Try again Freeman.

first utility still cant apply what a joke

My mum received her payment this week. EDF is supplier. Tariff ends in November and can't see anything decent.

Noticed Ovo applications appear to be open today

Thanks op just applied (cheeky)

here's what e.on's form asks on the application

Here are all locations. Scroll to the bottom of the page: https://www.cycleconfident.com/courses/dr-bike/

Good old Brent. You can always jump over the border to Barnet, they don't ask where you are from etc, for a service.

Anyone know if it's near Croydon as I can not see it on line anywhere as I have a trycycle as I can not walk to far

Not all houses have gable ends, plus insulation will fill the cavity and just with a cavity surely there would be more chance of water ingress unless you have internal tray to drive the water out through weep holes in the brick. Theres probably cracking in your wall somewhere else thats causing a leak, instead of googling get a good builder to undertake an inspection and i am sure you will be surprised.

Really, I thought all disability was visible. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Do you actually know people who are fraudulently claiming DLA? If so, please report them. Or are you just making a sweeping statement backed up by nothing? There are such things as invisible disabilities. Not everyone who is classed as disabled is in a wheelchair.

I meant the "home service" cover plans, which will gladly take somebody's £10/20 a month for boiler breakdown cover for an old back-boiler. When the boiler breaks down they will say the part isn't available and it "must" be replaced. The average customer will unfortunately believe this and YES I definitely agree people really do need to know that they can just call a reputable heating/boiler/gas engineer who will usually happily use an aftermarket part to keep an otherwise reliably boiler running. The cover plans are usually a waste of money on older boilers, they are only good for the annual service, which would be cheaper to just buy separately.

Really sorry to hear of your experience. Sounds very much you had a cowboy company and then cowboys trying to sort it out. benefits. It should have been fixed by the original fitters or you should consider taking them to the small claims court. If anyone is in a similar situation with DAMP after cavity wall insulation, consider a roof under-tray and gable-end re-done at the same time as it is a much cheaper solution plus keeps the energy efficiency.

Can't read the article as it's registered users only. I can probably guess at its contents anyway. I know drivers speed, run lights and everything else in-between. What I don't agree is cyclists (commuters in particular) are good law abiding citizens. :) I have even seen cyclists have a go at other cyclists when they actually stop at red lights for blocking there way. Two wheeled commuters are a savage bunch!

Fixed that for you. Same as a minority of drivers jump red lights and speed, eh? https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/we-re-careful-say-drivers-who-speed-and-jump-traffic-lights-6795blqnv Anyone got (popcorn) (I'm a driver too)

Well aren't you a model citizen then. Sadly the rest of the cycling community don't follow suit. Of the list above the following were observed this morning. tailgating (but cyclists like to call it slipstreaming), close passing, overtaking through solid whites (they like to call it filtering), overtaking on mini roundabout approaches, overtaking on zebras, jumping lights, speeding (over 20mph in 20 zone), no lights, indicators (they have arms but not one used them), using phones, not looking at junctions." We can also add to that list 'wrong side of traffic bollards' As for rule 169 I never claimed it applied exactly to you but "Probably worth you having a read" as a good road user you may use common sense and follow it if holding up traffic. Much like your suggestion on rule 163 and in particular the part "give motorcyclists, cyclists and horse riders at least as much room as you would when overtaking a car" I'm quite happy overtaking a car and giving 2ft space, doesn't mean I'll only give 2ft to a cyclist.

Well I don't do any of them. The section regarding pulling over to let people pass applies to slow moving vehicles causing queues to form. eg. tractors. It's Rule 169. "Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow-moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass." Clearly, and in context with the previous rules, they mean motor vehicles as bicycles do not have mirrors. They also don't say that you MUST pull in or cite the legislation the rule relates to. The only time I've heard it being used is prosecuting farmers for inconsiderate driving.

Well as you can see it was somewhat in jest. But I'll quote your original post. " There's a few cars I 'interact' with on my commute (I'm on a bicycle) that I see most days that are repeat offenders with tailgating, close passing, overtaking through solid whites, overtaking on mini roundabout approaches, overtaking on zebras, jumping lights, speeding, no lights, indicators, broken lights, using phones, not looking at junctions." How you can say cyclists don't do many (if not all) of the above is beyond me! As a cyclist myself I have done many. The worst is usually jumping red lights. If I had £1 for every one I could probably drive to work and head straight back home! Probably worth you having a read of the section regarding being overtaken and pulling over to let people pass. :)

True. But for hypothetical sense it’s 50%. There are no terms and conditions except you just top up the account each month and don’t withdraw it

It's not 50% interest as it's over 4 years and it's not free money, it's a bonus that's received by following the terms and conditions over four years. It's still a cracking deal.I'm just being pedantic

Now that's a good idea :D

Yes correct. Leave it untouched to get the maximum return (a whopping 50%!) Yes your correct - you have to leave the original amount in after 2 years - for another 2 years - to get the maximum. End of year 2 free money: £600 End of year 4 free money £600. Total amount: £600 free paid to you at year 2. £600 free paid to you at year 4 - plus investment of £2400 = £3000. I qualified, along with my partner. So... £1200 free money at end of year 2. £6000 (includes £1200 free)) at end of year 4.

I don't qualify, but a few relatives do so I'm helping them sign up. To get the maximum benefit in 2 years you'd have to leave it untouched though right? Also intially I thought at the end of 2 years they would be able to take the nest egg and start dripping money into the 2nd phase.. I guess that won't work. Not so bad though as 50% of the investment up til then will be returned.

Apparently Lambeth council in London gives £40 voucher to buy those nappies. No starter pack.

They gonna send me some that have been previously used? :o

What has a trainee Consultant Psychiatrist got to do with this? None of those were big words, they are normal every day words that can even be used by children. If your wife is really of that profession I would imagine (and hope) she told you not to be so silly. If your child was sick would you buy a new machine? And most modern machines have a 90 degree cycle (I think all but just in case the trainee consultant psychiatrist gets consulted i’ll cover myself with most) and this would be perfectly adequate for keeping a machine hygienic so no one would ever need to buy a second washing machine to was nappies. It is an utterly ridiculous argument.

Disposable liners are made of paper, less substantial than the "quadruple quilted" stuff people with sensitive holes buy. We tested them to be sure (Victorian sewers) and if you leave them in water for 24hrs they have practically disintegrated. They are, by definition, less than paper thin.

You probably need to get a new washing machine if yours isn't capable of cleaning dirty nappies, because it isn't getting the rest of your clothes clean either. The reason why (clean) people use biological detergents is because there is all sorts of sweat, urine and poo on adults clothes as well. If a washing machine can get c.diff poo out of hospital bed sheets I'm sure it is also capable of getting baby poo out of a nappy.

time someone did Uranus joke.

Why don't you surprise me? ;)

This telescope uses a mirror and you should be able to see Uranus with it

Most breakdown companies send this as standard don’t they anyway? My last company did and the one I am with now does also (nerd)

Try using a different browser as chrome didnt work for me

Page doesn't seem to be going to the next page after I enter car Reg. It goes back to start! Anyone else having the same problem?

There is an app from https://know-yourcar.co.uk/ on Android (and probably iOS) - it's really good, I use that to check my MOT and TAX and INSURANCE. I added my Dad's car too and was able to remind them when their items were due. The best bit - I could see when my dad's car passed or failed MOT, with the failure, I could see WHY it failed. This is fantastic if you're buying a used car and want MOT history for free!

This is a great way of keeping track of all the family vehicles 🚗
