There is the option of a low level light (in purple of course) in the bathroom, that throws out enough light to see what you are doing but doesn’t light up the whole room if you go in the middle of the night

This was one thing that I particularly liked when I stayed in the High Wycombe Central ...

Just had 500 Nectar points stolen as apparently fraudsters have worked out how the Nectar card numbers work and are able to just give the number out.

If anyone has a lot of Nectar points, please turn on “points lock” in the app to avoid what’s happened to me. I didn’t even know it existed ...

I wonder if the admins here will create a shelter for Pres Café users outside the UK and Ireland.

I'd recommend trying a VPN, though you may have to try a couple different connection points. Occasionally my VPN connection gets blocked by the site and I have to switch VPN location (within the UK ...

It's pleasing to see that the MasterChef thread has been allowed to continue over the past week or so. From what I've seen posts have remained primarily presentation related, probably as by now users know that admin/mods would understandably clamp down on any discussion around the allegations.

I find it interesting only because when I started this thread in 2011, I didn't ...

I get the impression that eventually 'new Outlook' will replace 'Outlook Classic'. It looks like Microsoft have a target of April 2026 for this, but will continue to support the 'classic' version until at least 2029. (Annoyingly MS Publisher will no longer be supported from October 2026, but as of ...

This has actually disgsuted me... seriously considering resigning my Labour party membership

Really feels like he's trying to win back the Reform crowd without thinking about how it's alienating everyone else.

I assume you're referring to ...

The exception are cards which aren't traditional credit or debit cards. For example, prepaid high street ...

So yeah, it's kinda nifty. But. This is not how you simplify things. Make the fares easier to understand in the first place. Let people tap in and out with their bank card - or if they don't want to do that, with a stored value on an ITSO smartcard.

It never fails to amaze me how people can look ...
