    Car purchase methods

    But, right to repair … ? I just replaced a lightbulb on my car. When googling how to do it I came across that with new LED units it would be the full unit to be exchanged rather than just the bulb. Indicator, high beam, stand light, … all working and going ‘in the bin’ as part of a total...

    I don’t get PCP either. The argument is that ‘you only pay for depreciation’, but if the 1st few years are the hardest one on that. Then you are only ever getting the bad bits of a contract?

    Professional Golf

    Only watched the last 6 holes, happy he held on. Would have been devastating to lose a 4 stroke lead in 5 holes.

    TV - What Are You Watching?

    I didn’t see that, but I used to golf with a former chef who works restaurant supply chain. Apparently GR has the lowest staff turnover because people actually like him as their boss. Others (also TV chefs) have it like a revolving door because they are a night work with.

    Washing machine recommendations

    Our Bosch 'broke' because of Calgon. Not really, it just was leaking and we got a Bosch engineer here who changed the pump (under warranty). Was good for a while then was leaking again.

    Winter Olympics (for those that like them)

    YouTubers.

    watched it now. For someone with 3 double bogeys that is an outrageous score. What could have been On the other hand, he also had some outrageous puts drop, so the overall outcome seems fair, if also a little bit unlucky on the 18th put. But then, the 18th 'chip/pitch' shouldn't be anywhere...

    YouTubers.

    Finch, Shields, ... are effectively a production company. just 1 show with 1 presenter, but it is a outfit that turned professional. The 1 guy GoPro youtuber is being left behind. We watched them during lockdown because it was there, but now we just dropped them.

    I wasn’t expecting it so when a letter from the DVLA arrived I was fearing something different. I didn’t think I was speeding or running a red light, but you never really know.
