The Supreme Court rejected a crowd-funded test appeal in November 2015, holding that there was a contract and that the ?85 penalty charge stipulated within it as a means of protecting the company's legitimate interest was not "extravagant, exorbitant or unconscionable". http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-3303189/Parking-ticket-disappointment-UK-motorists-Supreme-Court-rejects-chip-shop-owner-s-85-appeal.html https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2015-0116.html

McSporran, I've pm'd you.

They're probably all gearing up for the sesquibillion celebrations on Friday.

The cheapos are 'Advance' tickets - a limited number available, at varying prices, on just a few trains each day, and you do have to use that train. The Oxford ones can get as low as ?5.40 for a single.

Elephant Removals Posted by Andrewsharpes 19 October, 2014 03:50 Hello, Sharing my experience with Elephant Removals, I was told by friends and work colleague to try this company as I was not quiet sure where can I find a reliable company. Since I was recommended I knew I was in good hands. They packed and moved my entire content from one end of London to another. I was well pleased with the guys in the office and on field. Brilliant service, good price and most definite friendly. Now I am a new resident in ED.

I agree with Hertburs on both points. The BaE 146 (later, Avro RJ100) suggestions seem very plausible. Some google searching for BAe146 flaps sounds shows that it's long been a talked-about phenomenon. One example is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNZ92B7QsOA. A sound snippet from it is attached. I think it may be just the external manifestation of the maybe even scarier sound within the plane when the flap movement is actuated.

Are you satisfied that it affects all data paths/ Are, for example, this forum and http://www.bbc.co.uk equally affected. What does http://www.speedtest.net/ say about your speeds? Are you on ADSL? I have noticed on occasion that, on first booting my modem, it syncs to the exchange at 2 Mb/s rather than the expected 9 Mb/s or so. If that happens I simply restart it, which usually resolves it.

And there's this mystery cat recently appeared in your household ...?

London City Airport is very unlikely: their permitted operating hours end at 22:30. https://www.londoncityairport.com/aboutandcorporate/page/noiseandtrackkeepingsystem https://www.acl-uk.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/LCY-S17-Capacity-Declaration.pdf. I guess a Heathrow private or cargo flight is the most likely candidate. Or an alien craft.

You can rely on 0800 and 0808 numbers being free. That was extended to mobiles a couple of years ago. https://www.gov.uk/call-charges

The regulations give them deemed consent for a limited period, just like standard estate agent signs. Classs 3(D).

Can you record this prodigy for us?

Me too. There's plenty of guidance on the net on how to do it. Pound shops also have sets of small screwdrivers if you need one to to remove screws from the case or the cell mounting. You can also get very cheap watch back remover tools via aliexpress. I only needed one for a more expensive waterproof watch. In most cases a firm penknife blade or similar was enough. Some watches may have or recommend silver oxide cells (type name begins with an 'S'). These are a little bit more expensive. Keeping the cells in the fridge helps their shelf life.
