I can't reach the new voucher spend of £90.00
The new Tesco's vouchers are useless for me. I can't reach the £90 minimum spend to be able to use them. The original voucher scheme was perfect for me. You just received regular vouchers with no minimum spend. The new vouchers are just going straight in the bin. Anybody else having this problem?

using solicitors to obtain probate, but the banks are not giving an easy
vehicle to open an Executor/Administrator account for Estate proceeds. All the banks appear to have different…

Battery Electric Vehicle News / Enjoying the Transportation Revolution
I thought a more specific thread/title might be useful for posting news on BEV's (and EV's in general), given that we have threads to discuss the minutia about EV ownership, but perhaps a thread just for the news might be useful. Disclaimer from the start, BEV news can easily become Tesla heavy, so posts, especially mine,…
