Wow - you certainly have a knack. I've given up the forum rather than waste time reading your aggressive and unhelpful BS.

I paid cash for the car and simply would want GAP to replace it with an equivalent new one, without quibble, if the worst happened and my ordinary insurance failed to come up with a sensible value. I stopped buying things on finance when I first became middle aged and grumpy, as the more...

Without state-funded reciprocal healthcare etc, I can no longer consider living anywhere other than the UK. I can't see EU countries offering this to Brits once we retreat behind our borders and rot away in isolation. Even existing ex-pats are going to be treated as pawns in UK Gov's weak...

That resonates. I had always planned to emigrate when I retired and now that is all up the swanny thanks to ruddy Brexit - now stuck in the same old rut until I die, as far as I can see. I hated the succession of lousy bosses and wasted projects in my later career - you can't trust anyone. My...

I nominate the centre of Rushden, Northants. The locals seem to have confused it with Silverstone, Northants. I tried to find and visit the Transport Museum on Saturday, but after being forced repeatedly round a long circuit by aggressive traffic and with lousy signage and no clear parking or...

We have Scooba for laminate and tiled floors and Roomba for carpets and general vacuuming. Both are fine but if your floor has crevices between boards I would be cautious as I think you really need a good old powerful Dyson or the like to suck away at those. Parquet style oak would be fine...

I haven't wanted to play this myself but I don't find it any more peculiar than people who spend lots of pounds and hours chasing a little white ball around the countryside with like-minded folk. :)

I had a go at sending an address to the car via the MercedesMe app yesterday. Like much of the MB Comand and infotainment stuff, it is rubbish. MercedesMe prompted for a search and found the place fine - tourist attraction with its own line in the search results list, and I chose Send To Car...

It took a while to set itself up and nothing seemed to happen so we left it alone, had a cuppa, then switched all off and on and then the apps came up. Mind you, very little there to get excited about, the whole comand experience is one of incredulous disappointment. MB need to let German...

SWMBO has been playing it and although there is a touch of the obsessive about it, the resulting exercise is very good therapy (she has ME), so I won't complain. And she has loads of new pals in Years 6 and 7 :)

I really am having a full-on Victor Meldrew moment. How can I use a voice command to get the ruddy Comand Navi to set a POI as a destination? All it ever wants is to demand a town/street etc or make a phone call or ask what help function I want. I have a POI saved as Home. Why can't I just...

Wife's discovered Pokémon

I had a 30 minute drive of the prototype Advanced Passenger Train in 1982.

I was mucking around with COMAND in the car tonight, trying to check out various new toys and in the Internet section is a thing called 'Mercedes-Benz Mobile Site'. I clicked it for research purposes and was invited to select a country. SWMBO and I scoured the list but under Europe, there...

Thanks, yes plate supplier's address and BS thingy are required. At least internet suppliers seem to understand the concept of symmetry, though :doh:

Sold the Honda :D

'ere tis...:bannana:

Had to share this. Given that they have their name plastered all over them, would the dealer really expect me to allow this pair of awful plates on my shiny new car? Thankfully I had already supplied my own good quality plates, but for some reason they still went ahead with producing this...

Woohoo - sold within 48 hours :bannana:

Want to save your shiny AMG for Sundays and Best? Need something cheap and reliable to collect half a dozen muddy kids from football practice or ferry that old freezer to the municipal tip without risking your Designo leather? Then what you need is a general purpose Mercedes-saver! This...
