    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    I’ve sent customer services an e-mail, querying it and the price of the t-shirt, I’ll see what response I get, I’ll probably send it back, as having received it I’ve realised I’m really not that fussed.

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    They’re completely taking the proverbial to be honest, I bought a “bundle” as that seemed to be the only way to actually get one, and I wanted spider-man anyway, but it also included a t-shirt, no breakdown of the cost of each item when you order. All arrives with an itemised order print out...

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    I managed to get one when Game restocked on 3rd March, and it was delivered today. Has anyone else received one from Game recently? On the order form in the box it lists the PlayStation 5 as “Mint” and the little round sticker has clearly been taken off previously (it wasn’t stuck down) so...

    HPI query

    Either take the advice in the first sentence of the HPI check, or speak to the main dealer surely? Being from a main dealer I’m sure they’ll be able to confirm what the situation is. You’d be mad to proceed with a purchase without querying it, and I suspect knowing there’s outstanding finance...

    Lay-Z-Spa type hot tub - any good?

    One of my friends got the Monaco last year, I was dubious about it, but was actually really impressed with it, he’s also all over it with the upkeep, chemicals etc. As previously mentioned, there’s a lot more involved than just filling with water and jumping in, if the on-going upkeep suits...

    Nice areas Manchester City centre?

    Personally (budget dependant) i would much rather live in Didsbury than the city centre. Easy access by car/tram/bus and just a much nicer lifestyle. Watch out for creative estate agents when looking, rougher parts of Withington get “re-invented” as West Didsbury, similar with Burnage suddenly...

    Anyone live in a council house or know how they work?

    Where is this friend on the electoral register? If they’ve been on at the parents house and the local authority haven’t picked up on it, I doubt a mortgage application will suddenly have any effect. If they’re not on the electoral register anywhere, then your friend will probably struggle to...

    Brother was rear ended (car crash) insurance claim it was his fault.

    If this is the whole story, then I can’t believe it can be anything other than the van driver’s fault in the eyes of the insurance, yes it appears your brother made a poor choice, but the van should have been at a distance to stop safely. If he was in lane two, and cut in front of the van in...

    business rates?

    With an RV £900, assuming this is going to be your only property, you would qualify for full exemption with small business rates relief, the threshold has been increased from RV £6,000 in the 2010 list, to RV £12,000 in the 2017 list for full exemption, so this workshop would fall well under...

    4G EE charging me for something i didn't subscribe to

    I had something very similar, a £5 premium charge on my phone bill, used the time and date on the bill to track it back to a spam text message I'd received about a prize draw to win a Range Rover. To my knowledge I'd never signed up for anything, certainly not knowingly anyway, after much...

    Married Couples : Finances Split or Combined?

    Been together for 10 years, married for 5 years and we have a son who will be 2 in July. We both earnt fairly similar salaries for a long time, my wife had a year maternity leave, and has since gone back to work part time, so there is a greater disparity now between our individual incomes...

    Public car parking

    Life's too short, I can't stand these people with nothing better to do than take pictures of people's parking, and post them on facebook groups, I can just imagine the seething red faces of people commenting. At supermarkets, I park in the parent spaces if my son is with me, or I park miles...

    What would you do?

    If the brother is in his 20s, I question why the "family" are even involved, is he not capable of resolving this situation directly? Your sister has made a more than reasonable offer of £500, to expect her to replace it with a brand new £1,600 laptop is laughable. Ultimately it depends on...

    'Merican B1 visa

    Have you actually got a B1 visa? If you're eligible to enter under the VWP, then even a B1 is fairly difficult to obtain.

    Lowcostholidays has gone bust

    Speaking from experience (I had a holiday booked through Purple Holidays with Goldtrail, who went under in 2010 just before we were due to go). Yes you will get your money back if booked through an ATOL/ABTA protected travel agent, but don't expect it any time soon! From memory it took me 6+...
