Just last week at work I had an enormous one brewing in the office. Out of respect for my colleagues, I excused myself and went outside for a 'breath of fresh air'. I let it rip - loud and long. I then discovered that my arse was right next to the intercom via which the receptionist admits...

The answer is: it depends on whether you want to win a car or a goat.

My cars getting heavier by the minute. What sort of air should I put in them? Is Tesco ok - or should I stick with a known brand like Esso or BP?

Thanks - I'll look out for those.

You do indeed get what you pay for, and a large proportion of what you pay for the branded tyres goes into the advertising and marketing to convince you to that they are worth paying more for, rather than paying for a better product. All tyres must meet stringent safety standards. There are...

Well yes. Yes they are.

Which tyres will give me the highest mileage per pound - an 'economy' brand or a premium brand? Most peoples views on this tend to be heavily influenced by the millions spent on advertising by the premium brands, paid for, obviously, in the price of the tyre. But given that (a) I drive a...

me too! :clap:

It does piss me off that they were allowed to get away with this mis-selling. We have a Financial Services Authority that is supposed to be regulating the industry. I have no idea what they do from day to day as they just seem to sit there allowing this stuff to go on. Its not like its...

I think it was the best ever.

Nathan Jones has indeed been gone quite a while.

Had no idea about that. What a completely ridiculous law. Its like forcing you to carry a metal detector so you can check if you are carrying a gun.

It wasnt the cockup that bothered me. I went back and highlighted the ironic bit.

Dont you just love em. A couple of months ago, my wife received a notice from HMRC that she hadnt submitted her tax return and would be fined £100. In fact the return had been submitted along with mine in December and we have the receipt etc. Anyway, the fine was appealed and indeed the HMRC...

I dont think this is quite so clear cut actually. If the insurance covers it, use it, but make sure the mate isnt out of pocket in any way. i.e pay the excess + any lost no-claims discount over the next 5 years. At 700 quid - it may be simpler to just pay up, but what if it were 50 grand...

One piece of advice, whoever you choose... Make sure you always check their arithmetic at all stages and especially on the completion statement. Do not assume that because they do this sort of thing for a living, they cant make simple mistakes. With all the large numbers flying around it is...

You didnt say what colour it was either. Not sure how you can expect us to help without telling us the colour.

Its not, its much much better...

I prefer the rival brand - "Maybe I stuck my finger up my arse"

Have you thought about Ebbsfleet instead? Depending on where you're driving from of course, but its right by the M25/M2 junction. If planning to go via M23/M25 Ebbsfleet is closer than Ashford. Plenty of big car parks and more Eurostars stop there I think. You take your ticket as you park...
