Small update, after increasing from £800 to £1,500, I've searched around a bit more and found Quidco Compare pretty good. I ended up going with the AA for £1,000 with quite a few extra bits of cover,...
I am shocked and appalled at my increase this year, with seemingly no alternatives to get anything cheaper.
A 340i in North London has increased from £800 to over £1,500. No claims in the last 19...
I had a similar experience, I bought some based on this thread, given it was £7, and find it quite deeply unpleasant, personally. It does make me feel a bit nauseous as well, heavy, sweet and...
A small update, after a *lot* of back-and-forth, he found this on Chrono24 in Switzerland and went for it. It seems in good condition and has been serviced so will hopefully serve him well, he is...
Thanks all, some excellent suggestions. A MKII speed master would certainly fit the bill perfectly, but I suspect would be well out of budget for all but the most beaten up of examples these days.
Evening gents,
My brother is turning 50 and has requested a watch, he’s a big fan of the funkier side of the 70s, my challenge is finding a quality example of a watch. His budget is roughly £1,000...
Done, 1 ticket bought, best of luck with the fund raising.
I bought two TVs from this eBay seller in the last year, a 55" and a 75", both Samsungs.

Cheers all, it definitely looks like a pressure fit so I might let the WD40 sink in and try again.
I am attempting to restore some scales I found being given away on the front wall of a house (the wife was delighted when I brought that home). So far so good but I'm a bit stumped by how to remove...
I had a similar need a couple of years back and decided on the 340i, it still gives me a smile to start up and loves to be driven fast, the power is superb. Equally it's a very refined car in normal...
Very nice colour, and yes it does have an addictive quality.

Good point, I need to check out the tyres and potentially get them swapped out at some point.
I've never been one to keep a very clean car, but the new motor has given me some motivation to do better. I made the most of the sunshine yesterday to give her a wash, the colour looks lovely in the...
The connoisseur’s choice clearly :-) I’m enjoying the dual exhaust look of mine too, a subtle nod.
Thanks, Estoril Blue does have a nice bright character.
After looking for a practical hybrid estate within budget for ages, I decided the car I want doesn't quite exist yet and decided to buy something fun for a few years (before they ban anything too...
If you want to get super serious with your butter, Ampersand is the way to go. Not easy to source and certainly not cheap, but with a complexity and flavour beyond any others. Favoured by many many...
Although I tend to minimise any genuine "everyday" carry, I do have a fondness for engineering. Hence I got an early order in for:

I’ve never actually tried their private dining but have heard good things about Quo Vadis? It’s a lovely space in Soho:

Being a keen home cook, I have very often recommended Victorinox (Fibrox handles for practicality, or rosewood if you want to look a bit fancier). I buy them as presents often too. They come razor...
Interesting idea, I've just joined and here's some more invites from me:

Just chucked a small donation in as thanks for a great site.
In two words, a lot! It was at its worst around £1,600 a month for one 2 year old for 4 full days a week (admittedly we could have used all 5, they charged the same). I did wonder how everyone at the...
I went last year, I think it was the first one they did. It was a very enjoyable day out, the dishes tended to be £5 for a decent taste of something and all were good quality, particularly the...
I suspect as you say they wouldn't be interested in taking them back, they obviously apply a steep mark up to their work and wouldn't want to reveal that in any way. It would be interesting to know...
