There we go. Spoken like a true extremist bigot. Absolutely apppalling.

Do you have the basic Sky package, if yes, you can watch the CWC for £10.

As I said, appalling, racist comment, yet again. Keep your vile hatred to yourself.

How is it racist lol Just because the truth hurts the libtards start waving their little race cards - sorry plonker it doesnt work anymore we are wise to your Taqqiyya lies and cheating!

Listening on 5 live sports extra. Been searching the www to watch online with no luck. Anyone watching ? Great match btw (y)

Thanks, will tell them of this, hopefully something gets sorted

Rause raise a official complaint that they should have been supporting a CTC claimwhen she was placed in their care I

They’ve asked social worker n they not helping at all. Just sayin they should be getting money from my brother. They ent helping one bit. Joke really

Can a parent claim this? My wife works and is the main carer (who receives the child benefit). I am self employed and not opted into paying a pension contribution. Can I use this for my NI contribution?

To those who don't understand national insurance credits; most benefits pay one NI stamp a week. This is not a monetary amount paid to the claimant, it is a stamp that is recorded on your HMRC national insurance record for future State Pension purposes. Class 3 credits are not worth as much as Class 1 (paid via an employer) or Class 2 (paid if self employed) but they can help to keep a state pension up to date. This scheme is really only of benefit to parents who either work and pay Class 1/2 contributions, or who claim another working age benefit and already get Class 3 credits that way. The grandparent would also need to be out of work, or not working enough to pay NI.

You have to meet certain conditions. Which is a shame. Like help far too late. This stuff should be taught in schools. resident of Camden or Islington and/or registered with a Camden or Islington GP express a willingness and motivation to change age 18 years and older if your Body Mass Index is between 30 and 50, or between 27.5 and 50 if BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) group, and do not have any co-morbidities (i.e. a diagnosed health condition) not pregnant. Service user should only participate once they are cleared to exercise after their 6–8 week post-natal check-up

My garage sends me a PDF of the mot certificate. Saves paper.

This new service is a good idea, if it worked... Shows the mot details but the part to veiw or replace certificate is 100% broken. I've tried it on 3 different browsers on 3 different devices

It's all available online when you enter someone's reg plate.

Not really, no. Insurance is quite different. But this is a pointless argument, believe what you like.

I’m confused, why do I need to speak Romanian? If I have a UK issued MOT ‘certificate’ do I need to speak ever language in the world if I want to drive elsewhere? This is nonsense and made up unless you can provide a reputable source which backs up what you are saying. It’s very simple, show us proof of what you are saying.

Do you have fibre? It's worth checking. You may think you have fibre because the speed is (quite) fast. Up to 80Megabits per second is now possible with a 'normal' connection (that is connected to your telephone line) However it may vary in speed quite a bit because of contention ratio. Basically you share your line with a number of others. So, at peak times when everyone is at home or at weekends it will be slower. This also happens with a fiber connection. So, why do you need fibre? One reason is to upload. Everything is becoming bigger. Even if your speed is 80Megabits your upload speed to the cloud is likely to be only a tenth of that or less. So it's going to take a very long time to backup your computer to a cloud (for instance) 4K videoes are four times the size of HD ones. Unfortunately it seems that BT will only extend fiber where they have a lot of closely packed subscribers. So there are lots of places that will never get fibre. This probably makes sense to BT as they don't have the infrastructure to support the use of fibre anyway. They missed that chance in 1990. Through no fault of their own. So for many, this scheme is the only way they're going to get. I don't think 4G or even 5G will solve the situation. Wireless is less reliable than an actual physical connection. As is satellite. I think having a fibre connection will soon be like having a mains water supply or a gas supply.

Wrong. Bt had a plan to roll it out before they were privatised. They had two factories set up to manufacture the equipment. Thacher thought it wasn't 'competitive' so she stopped it See https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/world-of-tech/how-the-uk-lost-the-broadband-race-in-1990-1224784

Unfortunately Thatcher split and privatised BT

Legislation is cheap in comparison, putting tax into business profits isn’t good government. Tax should benefit society not private shareholders. Maggie didn’t stop it, BT chose to do so after getting a massive asset not at cost.

Do BT have a policy to roll out broadband? I don't see that they do. It's because they don't have a policy that schemes like this exist. They had a policy but Thatcher stopped it

Very true. We have a long disused railway, a woodland and a canal path which are used by quite a few walkers nearby... But they are not marked on these maps unfortunately. If only there was a combined set of maps it would make life far easier to get out and enjoy ourselves. In the meantime this is a good starting point.

Thanks OP. My council (Norfolk) has its own version of this for their PROW, but this has clearer mapping. One problem with both though is that they don’t cover all types of ROW and certainly not permissive paths (where landowners set aside a track for anyone’s use) which are usually only signposted at each end. It would be great to have one source that covers everything...

Fantastic thank you so much , I did a walk local last week but had to go on the side of the road a lot which was a bit dangerous, this way I can use the walkways now I know where they are (y)

This is useful, thanks.

The codes are in newer maps (post 2015 according to os) indicated by a blue banner on the front cover: The code itself is under a scratch off panel inside the cover:

Snitch.

Good luck in a Prius.

(shock) (shock) (shock) If you have good eyes then you should be able to spot speeders in your mirror too...

Ordered, thanks op, and voted hot

Doesn't seem like there is any limit on the order so ordered 4 car and 6 van stickers for family.

This is Shameful ! familys should be getting enough money that it doesn't need to topped up with grants and gifts. One wage was enough to keep a whole family, how low have we sunk . have ten kids , become a Millionaire (strong)

Scotland also pay for it.

But paid for by england. Maybe we should all vote on Scottish independence you might find the rUK might actually want it too.

I often wish I was Scottish.

Can I add that there will also be a school age payment for children starting primary 1 in Scotland see here but they aren’t taking applications until 3rd June so keep your eye on it. It’s the same low income criteria as the best start grant.

That is correct. Unfortunately Child Tax Credit on its own is not a means to getting this.

You can easily check it by clicking on the link and putting your NI number. It will tell you if you qualify or no

Sorry just to clarify. So if u get child tax credit only, you dont qualify for it? We get some child tax credit due to disability. But not working tax credit.

Lol. I can quite assure you that nobody would want to be the double of me. I'm quite sure you are a far better person than me.

Possibly us then. We have 2 accounts open with combined £1400 with £700 bonus. I also had a brief look and appears you have a young family and also mortgage. Us2. So we drive nearly the same cars , are home owners, and earn relatively modest incomes. Are you my double in disguise???

Thanks OP, heat added, this should help out a lot of people (me included), this "blessed" month.

Then you should have reported it. It's theft. I'm sure there's at least an anonymous whistle blowing method. Posting on here is pointless. Are you implying all charity staff are thieves?

If she was paying I wouldn’t bother writing a comment. #notpetty

You do realise volunteering happens at all levels within organisations. The equivalent paid role would necessarily be "low paid". You have CEO, Manager, Professional level volunteer roles which would be high salaried (and would need someone full time not a few hours a week...). Volunteering doesn't actually reduce jobs.

Unless they weren't paying for it (aka stealing), who cares? Obviously you are going to look through the stuff you need to put out. Charity shops are first come first served. It wouldn't make since to put things you'd like out on the shop floor, wait a bit, then take them off to buy them. Staff are customers too.

As a parent sending my kid to school and observing the behaviour of other children I've come to the conclusion that people above the age of 10 seem to forget how to cross roads safely...

Bus drivers are the worst(not all but many pf them)... no manners with passengers. They are paid to be behind the wheels along those routes so no excuse for the bad behaviour.

Thanx Op forwarded to my niece for her boy(y) Heat

Thanks OP - ordered for my nephew.

Perfect for my 6 year old. I get worried when I send him down the shop to pick up my beer and cigarettes. And yes, before anyone asks, he does have false ID

This is not quite true. If they don't know about it then they can't be held liable. That was my first issue. Once they are aware, they are given 28 days to act on it. Only after that, you are eligible to claim. Also only if it is over a certain depth. Think about an inch. I'm sure some councils may vary, but my experiences are both with Nottingham City

Speedbumps cause more damage, can i claim for those there is loads of them....

Pictures of the holes that done the damage is essential, put like a can of coke inside the hole and take the picture and this will show how deep the hole is, and if the hole has a yellow line sprayed around it then you will not get a pay out as they know about it and or in process of fixing it but if there is no yellow line and your pictures prove this then they have to pay out.

I supplied a quote for the replacement parts.

You talk sense regardless of being able to drive or not. A council will try their hardest to shaft you and not pay for their negligence.

The Highway Code (rule 163) says to give them as much room as you’d give a car. That may sound a lot, but they won’t necessarily be able to travel in a nice straight line, because of the road or weather conditions. If there isn’t enough space to pass a cyclist safely, then don’t attempt to do it. Cars don't really wobble and fall over due to having 4 wheels, it's not the same for bicycles unfortunately!

This is, like so much of the Highway Code, ambiguous and contradictory. Does it mean that you should treat the cyclist as if it were as wide as a car and THEN pass with a margin appropriate for this imaginary car, or just pass with the room you'd give for a car? If cars need to give cyclists a six foot wide piece of road to themselves when overtaking, shouldn't cyclists therefore give the same respect to cars and lorries and only 'filter' (weave in and out) through moving traffic if the gap is at least six feet? So many 'road warrior' cyclists take the middle of the lane these days anyway, making them impossible to pass in moving traffic. And don't get me started on pedestrians walking onto zebra crossings and across junctions without even looking, or too impatient to wait for the green man at pelicans and other light controlled crossings. Pedestrians REALLY need to learn the Highway Code too.

Is there one to teach people what fog lights are for?

I could do with this and I drive already :/

Maybe something for the motorists too. I would start on the page that says amber doesn't mean "accelerate wildly just in case".
