Are you sure it's WD40 and not WD40-branded chain lube? I use that on my motorbike, and it's nothing to do with the WD40 spray - just the same parent company.

Oh absolutely, it says a lot about modern aircraft design that when I say it has an effect I just mean a 1% increase in fuel consumption!

That's where the off switch on the socket should be used; another handy design feature!

If houses are guaranteed to have their own charger, surely that reduces pressure on the public infrastructure for people who don't have their own charger?

Imagine if every time a new build estate was built it was required to join-up to some existing cycle infrastructure (sort of like how they connect to the existing utility infrastructure). That would require cycle infrastructure in the first

Cashback perks aren't great, but the airline credit cards are quite good if you'll definitely use the miles.

I've not seen a credit card where you can't automatically pay the full balance by direct debit each month. You do still have to do some maths (actual balance = current account balance - card balance) but I don't worry about i

I'd say I got similar benefits living on a shared corridor (single kitchen, bathroom, etc. between 8 individual bedrooms). Sharing a bedroom still just seems bizarre.
