I understand that if I drive in to a zone I pay the charge once and can drive in, out and around it for 24 hours. If I were to drive to a hotel within the zone and park up for three nights, how many...
I could understand the need for it in the pre-digital years but are they still issued? With so many police stations now closed it would be very inconvenient for many motorists to 'produce' at a later...
Massive, painful lump immediately behind my right ear, towards the top. It feels as if the bone has swollen - but I think that is impossible. My wife tells me it's not the massive, more pea size and...
a good friend of mine has had a bad falling out with his son because of Eammon Holmes and his equity release adverts. Eammon says an equity release could be used to 'reopen the bank of mum and dad'...
I am very happy that I am not taking part in this week's FIAB (not that I could as I don't run a B&B or any other type of holiday facility). I would not be able to look at one of the contestants and...

I like Sandi and enjoy her hosting QI. In the latest series her face looks very slimmer and her eyes much more open and youthful, she looks younger. I assumed she had very good cosmetic surgery - good...
I have had to download my bank statements and they downloaded in pdf form. I was shocked that the iPad can't read them and need to download a PDF reader - unless you know different! So all...
