You can buy something called St Johns Wort over the counter in places like Holland and Barrett. They are a natural herbal-type remedy but they do work. More about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John's_wort

It's their job to try and sell you stuff you don't need. If you EVER go to any garage for any job and they reel off a lisrt of other jobs that need doing, simply say "thank you for letting me know". Don't get involved in an argument or discussion with them, it's just a waste of your time...

Matt, in your position I would talk to my new employers' human resource department, tell them that after talking to HMRC you believe the error is due to slow submission by the accountant, and ask if they can help you to "offset" the repayment. Tell them that paying back £500 to HMRC over a...

Thanks for the Mazda info - an eye-opener for me, cheers. Add it to the list....

Thanks, Doc. Mazda and VWs seem a bit dull to me. Skoda Superb looks decent - a neighbour recently got one so weill have to have a chat with him about it... MOT and tax due on Twingo in June, I know it'll need new fromt tyres, so when I start adding it up, if I trade it in, use the value of...

I'm starting to think about my next car and I have a fancy for a big car again - it happens every few years, and in the past I've had a Mondeo and a Sonata at various times So, I'm looking at something that sort of size and so far the things that have caught my eye are the Kia Optima and the...

Make yourself a reminder in 12 months to ring their customer services and tell them you want a better deal or you're switching to another provider. They always give you a few quid off or add a few extra features if you do that. :idea: Same for all providers I suppose. They make their...

Are you sure it isn't your girlfriend's hair-clip? :lol:

That's true - I had several cars with no power assistance. BUT - failed power-steering is a LOT heavier than steering with no power assistance due to different gearing etc. Try turning the wheel of your Twingo while parked with the ignition off (but obviously key in ignition) then try it...

Fair point!

LOL - sounds like Blackpool on a Friday night. :mrgreen:

So you bought it 3 years old and got 6 months warranty from the dealer at that point, right? This isn't the original manufacturer's warranty we're talking about then? In those circumstances, I'd happily pay the 68 quid and walk away smiling that RUK had covered the other 80% :idea:

Ha when I get there the whole town will be plastered with stickers. Do I get double points if I find one with bullet holes in where they executed some revolutionaries in between times? @ NOTE TO MODERATOR - maybe you could split the Tunisia discussion off - we're completely taking over the...

We go on 8 August.

Agreed!!! Only time I get to sing is when I'm on my own in the car. Good reason for that - I'm cr@p at singing :lol:

Port El Kantaoui. Mrs-H and I are going in August. Should be nice and warm then. We'll have to have a 133 meet there by the number of folks from here heading that way. Maybe whoever gets there first should put a 133 sticker on a wall somewhere and the rest should take a photo by it if they...

Did you know the Dire Straits album was the first EVER to be released on CD? Gav's useless fact of the day :lol:

Flexi-time. Conditioned hours are 7 hours 24 minutes per day. Start between 07:30 and 10:00 Lunch between 11:30 and 14:00 Finish between 15:00 and 18:30 Anything I do over my conditioned hours I can save up and take up to 2 days off in any 4 week period. So, if I go in at 07:50, take 10...

I turned 50 last year - last 3 cars have been a C2 VTS, C2 Code and now a Twingo 133 w/Cup Chassis. Who says fun cars are just for the kids?

Saw a few of your relatives in there last time we went ;) Seriously though it's a pretty good day out if you can pick a warm sunny day. 8-)
