Anyone who knows anything about cars, will be amazed to hear that the, once, common as muck Vauxhall Cavalier is just about gone. I had 2, in the 80's, so did my Dad and half of my street. https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/vauxhall_cavalier says that there are currently just 3 left taxed in the whole of the UK.. Could…

What does the dismiss button do? I want to collapse or remove the announcements as I have to scroll through half a page to see posts but can only see dismiss, I pressed it once and the post vanished but I don't remember what it was to see if it's just vanished for ever, what if a new reply is posted in it? Will it come…

Hi everyone

Police documented... Police vulnerability team gave advice to arrest me (a rape victim inside an ambulance - over who called 999) 13.08.24 - I think what hurts the most is the police who are meant to protect you, a specific team to look out for you, inform the police about your vulnerabilities, illness or care needs were…

Hello, I've been waiting for my appeal for over 18 months. I emailed the court and asked them to investigate as the citizens advice had told me people in my area had been seen in 6 months and at the most a year - no one else had waited longer than a year. They did email back and said they'd investigate. I guess I got lost…

Hello. I have recently been awarded LCWRA. I have read that if you go abroad you can do so only within a 4 week (some say 1month) time period. Is this 4 weeks allowed in one annual year?

My daughter just finished her GCSEs and I'm on leave from work so it doesn't really apply to me, but I wondered what everyone thinks about all these schools closing due to the heat? I'm so torn, because it's going to be hot wherever the children are. In fact school is probably cooler than a lot of children's homes (and for…

"Everybody wants me to be mad about something, but they don't agree about what" Heard this line in a song and it is 100% me. Does anyone else feel like this? Everyone seems mad at something all of the time and I just don't. I wouldn't even want to. I don't like how it feels. I just swing with the good and bad. It's all…

When I'm feeling a little low, I sometimes turn to a comedian to chirp me up! I love a bit of Monty Python (He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy), or Alan Partridge's "Knowing Me, Knowing You AHA (grrrrr)…or even a bit of Jackass, because no matter how old I am, seeing a grown man getting shot off a giant rocket…

I made a SAR request on a hospital that treated me 32 years ago and it was rejected on grounds of time (they claim that my medical records were destroyed in the meantime) This is wrong - records are supposed to be held until 10 years after the patients death - and I am still alive !!

Friend has had a situation arise which I’d appreciate any advice on. They had a rent increase in August 2025, they rent from a private landlord. They didn’t report the rent increase due to genuinely not knowing they needed to as their rent is above LHA allowance anyway so wouldn’t change the claim award They reported the…
