--- Quote from: tggzzz on July 05, 2022, 04:30:10 pm ---Too many of the local branches are in the city centre, and it will soon cost £9 to enter there (30% of people will be caught by a congestion charge) plus car park charges. I have an almost unreasonable hatred of paying to park a car, let alone a congestion charge.

A few years back, say 15-20, I used to be able to claim, with some justification, that you could name anywhere in Central London and I could tell you where to park legally for free for at least an hour within a 5-10 minute walk, often closer. Those days are a gone with (1) increasing parking restrictions everywhere and (2) I haven't kept my knowledge up to date.

I know what you mean, but I only used that very rarely, e.g. (checks streetview) 15 yards from a loudspeaker shop in Tottenham Court Rd. Since then I've always preferred to take my bike.
It is definitely harder in Brizzle too.

Yes they sent me an e-mail with a link / "invite "to join the meeting. I clicked on that, it then asked me to install the app. I click to do that, it opens up the " Android Store " , which then immediately says, in red letters : " Sorry your phone is not compatible with this version of the app ".
Well too bad !!! :palm:

Yeah you are a "0.5% user". No one cares about you any more. Literally. Have to keep the plates spinning. 3 years old or newer oldest these days. I cycle mine out every 2 years.

It gets worse... as far as I can see the Barclays banking app only works on iPones, not on Androit.
And my phone is a phone, not a minaturised Merlin Tonto / ComputerPhone / One-per-desk nor an HP OmniGo 700LX

And worse...
Barclays sent me the introductory pack, telling me to sign the paper and return it in the prepaid envelope. But didn't provide that envelope.
Can't get in touch, since their chat facility out of order (and indications are it will never be in order).
Tried unsocial media. Response indicated they hadn't comprehended that I can't use their app! And didn't state what I should do with the signature!
Told to write a complaint - but can only do that on their app!
I suspect I'll be opening an account at another bank soon.

precisely, it pisses me off that so often all you want to do is to phone them, and they make finding a phone number so sodding difficult, if not at not sometimes impossible, and I'm OK with tech and can use it pretty well, but there are many hundreds of thousands of perhaps of older folk out there who cannot make use of modern means. My MIL is one such person, we have brought her an iPad with a sim card so that she can keep in contact with family down in Aus etc but she cannot use it.

I doubt that, from my experience, these garages underground are more of an open plan car park, much the same as normal car parks but with gates on the entrances to keep non-residents out.

Underground car parks near rivers in cities are often earmarked as a last-ditch (ho ho) flood defence. Better to let the (hopefully small) amount of flood water fall into those sumps than swish across streets.
I know of some in Brizzle, Gloucester, Rotterdam, and I'm sure there are others.
I've seen some TE that was probably stored in such places :(

Clearly underpriced. I presume you will put the other one up for sale at twice the price, and encourage the same person to buy that.
Historical posts will be rewritten.
