Simple Parking Fine Appeal Query (or is it?)
The joys of living in Camden.... My sister in law came over yesterday, and we used one of those 'scratch off the dates' visitors parking permits as we always do.

Should I downshift my Renault? Scenic to Clio?
I currently run a Renault Megane Scenic 1.6 R reg, which, although its a great car, seems a little too big for tootling around town in (I only work part time, and go out occasionally for shopping etc). Tax is £185, Insurance £144. I've had it valued at £895, had trade in offers of £200 (ha!). I now have a buyer for it if I…

Very good exchange rate
Last month decided to tie $500 in my FairFX card as the £ was going down to 1.80 and a Mexico vacation is looming. Today had a look in the travel money maximiser and to my surprise the pound is worth now $43 if you change it in 'Thomas Exchange Global'. Go quick it might not last long. Do you too find the results from this…

MOT and Service scams
Just thought I'd warn everyone about this... My husband took his car for an MOT with Service, so basically you get the MOT free. They failed him on indicators, because when you indicate one direction, then turn the steering wheel, the indicator immediately switches in the other direction. (Ironic thing is, he's passed 2…

Hello, This may be a really stupid question, but if I want to get to Sheffield Arena is it easier from Leeds Bradford airport or Manchester airport? I'd prefer to use public transport if possible rather than hire a car. It seems cheaper (and quicker and less hassle) to fly from Exeter (where I live) to LBA or MAN and then…
