  1. ...which is fully refunded if you don't use it. Can't go wrong.
  2. Whether or not you think PIP is fair, remember that you're not trying to prove what conditions you have, so medical diagnoses are fine for setting the scene but won't actually make you qualify by themselves. You need to show what impact those conditions have on your daily life and/or mobility. Loonytunes, for example, clearly has a lot going on but doesn't say anything about the impact of those conditions on him/her. For PIP it's not a competition to see who has the most wrong wth them. Harsh, but true. ---------- Post added 27-05-2017 at 09:50 ---------- Great advice, especially if your condition is variable in its impact.
  3. Which is a great argument, except for the basic fact that Trident missiles apparently don't use GPS. "One common argument is that the US can simply ‘turn off’ the GPS system and therefore can stop the UK using Trident, this is also a myth, Trident isn’t guided by satellite. The missile uses a kind of stellar sighting guidance system and inertial navigation to take a reading from the stars to work out the missile’s position and make any adjustments necessary. They do not require GPS." Edit: beaten to it. See post above.
  4. Not wishing to sound harsh, but if you signed up for a service on an auto-renew basis you can't really complain that they have auto-renewed it. If you don't want it any more you need to find out how to cancel asap!
  5. The Ts&Cs will include something like "Errors and exceptions apply". That's the key phrase which means that the retailer can cancel the purchase contract if they realise they've made a mistake, for example with the pricing.
  6. But the trade off is that Talk Talk regularly gives your data away, thanks to terrible security. I'm amazed anyone still uses them.
  7. Monday is the bank holiday. There's no substitution going on. Worth being aware of the parking charge situation anyway.
  8. A city region is the area that comes under the influence of the major city at its heart. So Barnsley is actually in both Leeds and Sheffield city regions because people from there work, shop, and spend leisure time in both Leeds and Sheffield. And the success or otherwise of Leeds and Sheffield has a knock-on effect on Barnsley. It seems a bit odd when you first hear it, but it makes sense really.
  9. I'd have thought that marketing Sheffield to the rest of the UK is far more important and productive than marketing it to the rest of the world. With the greatest respect to our city, how many foreign tourists will choose it over London, York, Oxford etc
  10. Is it actually causing a problem, for example by causing near misses with pedestrians using a crossing or with other traffic at the junction? Or is the visibility at the junction really good and the drivers who jump the lights can clearly see there's nothing else coming and no kids to mow down? If it's the latter it's obviously still wrong, but there's got to be other things to worry about. We've all experienced the frustration of sitting at a red light when there's blatantly no reason to do so, and if the lights were't there at all we'd be perfectly capable of navigating the junction safely.
  11. The good news is that it's just an invoice, not a fine. Ignore it. Seriously.
  12. My girlfriend's a vet and she uses Petplan for her own animals. She says that they are more likely to pay out than the others, although you often pay slightly higher premiums. They will sometimes even pay out in situations that don't meet the stated terms and conditions of the policy.
  13. Maybe the question is what additional stuff you'd like to be doing for the hour or so after you've arrived for your flight, and whether the VIP lounge offers any of it. I've flown from East Mids loads of times and never felt the need to pay for access. I'm happy with a book and my smartphone.
  14. If you think that a CRB check makes everything safe, you're being very naive anyway. It doesn't do anything to identify sex offenders or paedophiles who have never been caught, which I would suggest may be the majority of them. It makes things safer, but also gives people false confidence.
  15. I think you maybe just need to accept that there is a small risk to everything that we do, and try to mitigate that risk as best you can. Ok, you can't prevent yourself falling ill, but how likely it is to happen anyway? And just set off a bit earlier so that if there's delays on the motorway you've allowed some contingency time (and listen to traffic reports on the way). I'm sure you could find an insurance agent who can sort something out for you, but do you really need to?
