  1. Yes, simple enough. Phone your current finance provider and ask for a settlement figure. What essentially happens is that when you buy a new car, the garage you use will "buy" your old car off you for the settlement figure. They pay that direct to the finance company. Now, if you use something like CarFinance247 (who are very good but very pushy), tell them what that figure is and that you're looking to trade in the car. They tell the garages in advance so everything is in place. The only downside is if you got your current car recently (say, within the last 2 years). In that case the settlement figure might be higher than the garage is willing to trade in - you'll either need to find the difference or use a lender who will add this difference to your new finance agreement. You would get more money for your existing car selling privately, but for me the hassle factor is too much.
  2. Are you pushing in the clutch when changing gear?
  3. Been to the Menin gate twice. Truly emotional experience when they play the Last Post. Anyway - 7/10 for Wednesday
  4. I was in full agreement until your "black pudding is a top tier breakfast item" bit. What a left turn. Top tier for dogs maybe, but utterly unfit for human consumption.
  5. For mine, the 2020 election. Trump supporters including Rudy Giuliani were in the press claiming he won. Here, Giuliani's assistant phoned the "four seasons" to hold a press conference to make some new claims. But they instead phoned Four Seasons Total Landscaping, and held the press conference outside their store, next to a sex shop that was holding a sale on dildos. And from the photo, his hair dye started melting as he was railing away. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jan/03/four-seasons-total-landscaping-lighthearted-lesson-business
  6. Can't help but feel this thread is premature. @Ludo*1 you putting up a poll?
  7. Just heard the SNP are going into coalition with CRCKL and PP
  8. Oh no! Tried that with the Cavelier. Used it once, listening to it rubbing along the ground, then as I left the car the shock I got was more like a bang. Took it off right away.
  9. Years ago I remember lying in bed, unable to sleep, because this had been on the radio earlier in the day. Even now I can't listen to the thing.
  10. Long story short this week - the Discovery straps on a pair of Gape Gloves and holds the orifice open wide enough for a big object to pass through. The storyline of the series moved along about half an inch. They spent 5 minutes smashing up the Strange New Worlds sets.
  11. Had similar at the weekend. I was on the M9, driving up the inside lane doing 70, and there was a guy on the outside lane doing about 65. Nothing in the inside lane next to him - he was overtaking fresh air. I had 2 options - carry on and undertake him, or pull in behind him and hope he takes the hint. I was saved the decision by his turning off appearing and he went across 2 lanes to get to it.
