    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    I purchased a new build recently and it comes with a 8 solar panel setup, no battery unfortunately but that would be an easy retrofit if needed. What was strange is not all houses have solar, our house was one of the lucky ones. It’s also got a fast charge EV point on the drive way. All the...

    Looking to book a flight with Virgin Atlantic (directly) When it comes to filling out your passport details it asks for your first name and last name, what about your middle name? do you add this to the first name field and make sure there is a space between the names or leave it off? Crazy...

    Help to buy equity mortgage?

    Leasing, any benefit?

    Pay £360 +3k deposit for my BMW M240i with 10k mileage, 48 month, they threw in the 5 year service pack and £100 off any accessories. Fully loaded with mostly all options. At the end of the day why wait when you can have it now? At some stage when i move up i will look at loans and buying 2nd hand.

    Buying a new build - things to watch out for?

My new build apartment had a few minor snags but they were sorted next day from reporting and the overall build quality is absolutely fine and no problems after 4 years my place is with Berkley/St James so i expect...

    Manager Salary vs Team Member

    To put this in context someone slowly moving into management, paid a fairly decent wage, expected to carry on day to day but start to manage a new recruited team of specialists like myself but with added management duties surely that would deserve a bump for added responsibilities?

    What is the slowest you have been pulled over for speeding on a motorway?

    Mates mum works for the police and often patrols the M3/M25 in an unmarked car and she told me they usually only pull people going over 100 these days or people driving without care/attention along with the usual no insurance, phones or seat belts. i tend to not go over 90
