    [Travel] Buying a 2nd hand car

    I'd say their advert suggests they pay slightly less than you might get elsewhere, rather than far less though. The criticism I've heard of these types of companies (buying cars or houses) is that they'll make you an initial offer, which might seem acceptable, but after completing all the...

    Supposedly if you logon to https://hub.realbuzzregistrations.com you can work out whether you got in (or not). If you're in then your bib number would be shown in the ballot entry details, just under the line with 'Ballot: Virgin Money London Marathon 2018' and above the Downloads section...

    Buying a flat, is a survey needed

    I've twice had the medium survey (often called Homebuyer Survey, at least via Nationwide), and in both cases they were a complete waste of time and I won't be bothering with a third! The impression I get is they walk round the house in 10 minutes and then send you a template report with only...

    Notifications from BHAFC women’s team on twitter

    The fact the women's team doesn't draw crowds anywhere near approaching 30k suggests to me that Dwayne's suggestion of the interest in the women's team is possibly closer than that of the vocal minority posting in this thread.

    Official Running Thread

    Due to lack of training and fitness the few occasions I've 'raced' this year have resulted in disappointment and pain. I did a half marathon in 1:56 yesterday and feel worse than I did after doing a marathon. Therefore in an attempt to motivate/shame myself to pull my finger out here are my PBs...

    Exams grades

    That would't work very well to allow for moderation of the results to balance spread of the grades. It possible in an easy exam you might need 90% for an A, but in a hard exam 75% would get you an A. Therefore comparing one person's 90% to the other persons 75% doesn't give a fair reflection of...

    I'm pretty sure Thunder Bolt was implying that the OP doesn't actually trust CH & Winstanley. It confused me at first, but she's quoting the OP when she says "I trust CH, Winstanley and co, but".

    Garage Conversions

    I thought I'd heard that they did need permission and could be refused on the basis that the conversion would mean an additional car parking on the road if there wasn't sufficient driveway parking for example?

    Purple Bricks v Traditional Estate Agents

    1.5% sounds about right for an average where I live, but I was offered 1% without haggling other than to say I had spoken to other agents. ON top of that we were offered a 10% friends & family discount as my wife works with someone who's Dad was an agent. So it might be worth asking if anyone...

    Purple Bricks v Traditional Estate Agents

    OK, I've had a quick look at the website and realised/remembered that technically I lied. They advertise that they don't charge an 'up front' fee (because they allow you a certin time period to pay it), but you are commited to the flat fee as soon as you instruct them, and owe the full amount...

    Purple Bricks v Traditional Estate Agents

    When selling my house PB were one of the 3 agents I had round, but I ended up using a normal local agent. For me what I couldn't really get round was that once you signed up with them they received the full fee up front, and there was no motiviation for them to drive the sale through to...

    Would you sleep in a double bed with your 13-year old opposite sex child?

    I think a lot of people haven't understood the BBC story, the hotel were not convinced that the man was the father of the girl, and that is why they called the police.

    Advice needed on investing vs savings / mortgage

    Do Nationwide customers still get a payment holiday? I believe they changed their terms and conditions after 2008 when the rates plummeted. I did a quick Google and it now says "You may be able to apply for a payment holiday if your Nationwide mortgage was reserved on or before 3 March 2010".
