DLR noise? Loud horn....
Hi, So I recently moved into an apartment block right next to a DLR station. I can hear the trains coming to and fro, and that is not a problem. However what does happen is that occasionally the trains coming into the station would sound a very loud almost fog-horn like noise. And this happens throughout the day up until…

Money Moral Dilemma: Should I pursue damages for my bike?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... My bicycle got damaged as a motorcyclist went into me and we both came off (no injuries as it was at slow speed). He agreed it was his fault verbally and agreed to pay for damages, but he's ghosting me now and has blocked my phone number. It's only £80 - should I pay it…

Cycle
Even if you do find out where he lives, the burden of proof that he was responsible lies with you and, for the money at stake, is it really worth it? I suggest you put it down to experience and move on.

Impossible to get date to show correctly on Senior Railcard site
Filling in the online form and most things worked fine. However, when it came to date of birth, the directions are that the style is Day/Month/Year which we used, naturally. It then told us to use the proper style... We had a couple more tries, in case we had mistyped, without success. We then tried every variation we…
