Walking 2.6 miles to work?
It's pretty flat and a relatively relaxing walk, only one small steep hill. Google maps estimates it will take 58mins to walk it but I walk at a slightly faster pace than what Google suggests so can probably do it in about 45mins - 50mins.

Will any insurer give me NCD in these circs:
I have been a named driver on my dad's insurance since February 2021. I would spend about 4 months a year there each year and would be the main driver when there. I've been the only driver since he died in december 2024. I do not own my own car. Apparently if I was his spouse I could transfer but not as his daughter.

Bristow & Sutor took money from the business account
This Saturday just gone, Bristow & Sutor just took £325.00 from the business account. No letter, no communication, no call. Nothing. They just took the money from Lloyds bank.

I know my next car will be an EV, but I find it difficult to pinpoint that moment in time…
