    Thoughts on making electric vehicle threads useful to those asking for help?

    @Zenith63 - I applaud, in the hope that such can be done, but we've proven time & time again that these rabbit holes keep appearing regardless of how we hope to manage it :-) I would love such a discussion thread to be in place for EVs - my OH is thinking of purchasing one, although I'm not in...

    Using the same estate agent for selling and buying?

    @youcancallmeal - I did use the same EA for selling / purchasing a number of years ago, the only thing difference was that the house I was moving to was a new build as part of a new housing development. I found it easier to deal with one in relation to selling / buying. New house was a set...

    Killing brambles in hedge, no access to roots

    agree with @shweeney on this. Brambles have very, very strong survival instincts as they are constantly being killed off / hacked back. It's more of a case of managing them rather than fully eliminating them, especially as you can't dig them out. The lower you can get to the ground to cut them...

    Trade Republic customer service is practically non-existent €20,000 LOST!!!!

    @landlord - Not too sure why you would continue to transfer funds to somewhere, at which, you have received zero help in identifying serious issues (imho), in over a month. Is the return that good ?

    loveholidays - any views?

    @Steelstown - I used them last year for a trip to Portugal with the family to stay in a resort. Very resonable costings (5* private resort) and no issues with any part of the holiday. We were initially worried as they were so much cheaper (by around €900+) than any other holiday companies -...

    Increase in spam on AAM

    @Brendan Burgess - not sure how these "unwelcomed posts" are cleaned up etc, whether it's from the hosting company, yourself and/or the moderators, but I assume that it is very time consuming.
