Euro Cheque
I’d like some advice. I’m living in Northern Ireland for a long time now but I originally came from the Rep of Ireland Before the complete collapse I sold some shares in a Southern company. The shares were willed to me many, many years ago. My nest egg! As you’ll appreciate the cheque came in Euro. If I take it to my local…
Russell's Complaints
Hi All, I'm looking into something for an elderly friend, they are continually being overcharged by their local Russell's shop, for example items will be priced at one thing but the customer is charged something else.

Wedding in England

Does anyone know of any mobile tyre fitters in the Belfast area? I know Kwik-Fit do mobile fitting when buying 2 or more tyres but they don't stock my size. I can get tyres from Blackcircles (amongst others) but they don't seem to have mobile fitting in Belfast.
Personal details on FIFA 20 game
