    So do I, and I started it!!! I have changed title.

    I went last week, and it was lovely and warm, then went on Tuesday and wished I hadn't stepped in as it was freezing. It shouldn't be so cold that you shiver when you briefly stop swimming! A lot of grit in parts at bottom.

    With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible. If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better. I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile. I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room. I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.

    For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500. (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted. Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me. Usually get a decent reduction. Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal. Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.

    Amazon seem to do this more and more now. They don't even ring the doorbell, just leave them lying on the door step, then you find out it's been delivered when you check tracking. The official Amazon vans are frequently followed on their routes by thieves and take the opportunities freely given.

    Me too, now and then it would be down to the exchange and an issue there. Comparing what I have had done in the last 15 or so years with them, friends have had more issues with Sky, Virgin etc than I have ever had! I moved to fibre a while ago with them, and, 'touchwood', everything has been great.

    If it's your Wi-Fi that was the problem, that's more likely the router (or the device you were using), not the actual service coming into the router. I am with plusnet, and whenever mind has been glitchy, I check with a device connected via ethernet cable to the router to see if that is okay. I've been with them for potentially 15 years now and each time there has been an issue (not many and not plusnets fault, more the infrastructure) I have looked elsewhere, but everyone moans about their providers at some point! Some more than others. I often feel it's better the devil you know!

    Hi, I'm so sorry, it's gone and I meant to close this post.

    they probably frequent the parks more in summer when there are more people around, dropping food etc. Likewise, I haven't seen as many in my garden recently.

    I bought this a while back now, but haven't put it up due to change of circumstances. I have all the parts, fixings etc, plus a spare lock/handle assembly and an extra new key/lock barrel. You would need a van or large car to collect. Some parts are heavy, but manageable with two people. Would need to be carried through my flat from the garden, but I am happy to help if you are on your own. Currently retailing at just over £700. Please see the link on Asgard's website showing which model it is, sizes etc. Assembly plans are also available there in pdf format, plus a video. It is the green model. https://www.asgardsss.co.uk/bike-storage-x3 I am in East Dulwich, Trossachs Road.

    I have noticed over the years, they put things on sale, when they can't shift the on the shelf stock, which isn't surprising.

    I have some bird feeders and also some squirrel deterrent items. Also some feeders that just screw on to standard plastic bottles which you can fill with seed. Trossachs Road.

    Plusnet are great if you re-contract with them. I frequently manage to get a lower price than they give for new customers. I need to do mine again as my contract is up next month.

    Whilst I am not sure if this is appropriate to this case, I know that often people from minority groups don't feel safe with the police and there have been many incidents where people from minority groups have been mistreated, beaten etc, just for being.

    no, because I am rather tired at querying things all the time.
