    Equifax

    I like the idea, but most employers force you into having a bank account so that you can be paid. Gone are the days of the transparent envelope every Thursday.

    Equifax

    I agree, because I have nothing to hide. However, a comprehensive log of your whereabouts and habits 24/7 is a very valuable commodity for marketing, political snooping and even crime, if it falls into the wrong hands. When handling things of value, the temptation to gain personal benefit...

    Equifax

    Has anyone else received a letter from the credit rating agency Equifax regarding the theft of your personal data from their inadequate storage facility which is hosted in a foreign country? Apparently, amoungst other organisations, my bank has been on a nice little earner flogging my name...

    Cycleplan insurance

    It seems more than strange that you are content to spend £140 insuring a single asset (your bike) with a maximum value of £2000, but won't spend the same amount to insure multiple assets & risks (home, contents, bike, public liability) with a combined value of a hundred times that of your bike...

    Cycleplan insurance

    You might find that many home insurance policies cover much of the above as standard, or may be extended to do so for a modest additional premium. I think insurance companies are guilty of encouraging people to insure the same risk multiple times via these “specialist” policies.

    One for the conspiracy theorists, I suspect.

    The IPPC do seem to be going after police officers when someone dies during a pursuit. I don't know the answer, but there is always a reason why someone doesn't stop when requested to do so by the police. The reasons for not stopping could range from a mistrust of the police after a bad...

    One for the conspiracy theorists, I suspect.

    When we take to the roads, the police have a power to stop us under section 163 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. This can be for something as minor or as routine as checking a driving licence. If we don't stop, an offence is committed. Whatever our personal views are regarding the above power...

    Ryanair,incompetent or inconsiderate?

    I’m not sure if all the passengers will have paid £20. Budget airlines use carefully planned variable pricing structures when selling tickets.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That's the problem, there isn't one. There are no leaders within the HoC. As far as I can see, none would put the best interests of the country ahead of themselves or lead the country by example. They all seem to be script driven & highly choreographed fakes.

    No argument from me.

    I think my Kalkhoff Pro Connect is Knackered.

    The connectors on my bike, like yours, sit inside a plastic bag, but the bag is then inserted into a frame tube which runs laterally across the bike. The ends of the tube are covered by the motor cowling. I've had all of that to bits a few times, most recently about 3 or 4 years ago when I...

    I think my Kalkhoff Pro Connect is Knackered.

    I've just had chance to power up the Pro Connect after it has stood in my garage for a couple of weeks. Good news, the advice on here was correct, it seems to have been water getting into something, ether the handlebar switch or a connector. It's working fine. I very nearly bought a second...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I agree that there is an element that would like to expel foreign nationals and close the door on any new arrivals. The people who harbour those views were here long before the word BREXIT was ever invented and they will be here long after the words BREXIT and Remoaner are forgotten. The...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That "perception" may very well be valid, but it is not the truth. The "perception" is allowed to grow and develop by people such as KudosDave because it suits their Remain agenda by tainting BREXIT. What KudosDave is actually doing is consciously allowing a lie to develop and gather...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I sincerely hope that you put them right and told them in no uncertain terms that they are very welcome to travel here, to live, to settle and to build life time careers. If not, why not? To apologise to the students is to foster a lie and you are being most dishonest in doing so. You know very...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I'm not sure what to make of this. At first I thought the article was highly improbable, and if forced into deciding one way or the other, would come down on the side of it being an overreaction. Having said the above, where have we seen organisations cast as villains by government before...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    You are right, they are trying to keep a lid on this and I suspect / know many other issues, which if became public knowledge would lead to unrest. But what a disgrace that governments of all sides have brought us to this point. The trouble with keeping a lid on issues like Rotherham is that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    "Those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of diversity." You may not have heard anything about the above message which appeared on Twitter. Naz Sha, the Labour MP liked and retweeted those words from her Twitter account. What is JC doing about...
