That's probably a Wispa (sp) bar. Back in the 80s, I had a girlfriend from Billingham who told me about them, but I'd never seen them and told her she was making it up. Turns out the North East was the Wispa trial area in '81 and it wasn't launched nationally until '83, at which point I apologised to her. Fascinating stuff...

Equiniti is a legit share registrar. You could google their contact details and give them a ring. It may be From something like an old building society account which got taken over by a bank and account holders were allocated bank shares. My sister just got some from when Abbey National was taken over by Santander ages ago.

He's like 400 yards away so for me that's nearby and I still regard him as a neighbour, though for some that may not qualify. But yeah I could have just said neighbour.

    • Is Dell Autos closing down completely or just moving? For whatever it's worth, for MOTs I've had good recent experience with The Test Centre in Deptford. They only do MOTs so they don't have any particular incentive to fail you and they usually have same day appointments. Open 7 days a week and late. https://www.thetestcentre.co.uk/our-test-centres/deptford-branch/ Obviously you would still need a "normal" garage to do servicing and repairs etc.
    • So what is the issue? You want compensation for the loss of value, or you want to expedite the matter?
    • No. What happened? I actually thought, considering it was what we used to call Guy Fawkes Day last night, the loud noises from  fireworks ended remarkably early. About 9pm? Maybe I just fell asleep and didn't hear any later ones. Do people actually burn Guys any more? Apart from at places like Lewes, where I believe they still have Bonfire Societies and burn effigies of various political figures etc.
    • The accompaniment to our "Christmas Pudding" aka Nothing-Whatever-Like-A- Christmas-Pudding last year  at The Cherry Tree was "brandy butter ice-cream." If it had ever been near any brandy, the brandy must have been waved in its direction from a very great distance. Same with butter. The ice cream tasted like bog standard "vanilla" from a catering tub. At least it did bear some resemblance to ice cream. Whereas the "Christmas Pudding" bore no resemblance whatever to any Christmas Pudding I have ever seen or tasted in my many  decades of seeing and tasting Christmas Puddings. Oh, and Cinzano Bianco. Bleurgh. My sister used to drink that. 🤢
