"The Pennine section of the M62 is also home to an enduring urban myth: the house in the middle of the motorway." I used to pass this location often and it's surprising how many people have told me the story of an angry farme

Smart motorways/Dumb drivers There is also a temporary speed limit that 99% of drivers simply can not obey and that is 40 MPH, it's as if there is some external force at play?

Indeed, it's as if some truck drivers are guilty of the same bad behaviour as regular car drivers.

Web design is still going to be in demand at the high end but most businesses these days will settle for a Facebook page or free WordPress theme. If this looks the same as every other site then, from their point of view, it's validatio

There are good ads and bad ads, mostly it's just businesses throwing mud at a wall and hoping some of it will stick. Did I ever buy anything from an ad, well I must have since I buy a fair amount of products and something makes me choo

Old French cars break down a lot and soon become worthless or a complete liability. Old German cars break down less but cost a small fortune to repair when they do. British cars such a Range Rovers and Jaguars can be problematic from day on

I lived in such a house once and it was permanently cold, even with heating left on all day. In this instance the problem wasn't just the draughts but also the fact that it was connected to the old standard sized radiators that never g

Insulation in itself can cause more problems than it solves in some circumstances though, especially when it results in moisture becoming trapped within the fabric of the building. Cavity wall insulation is one such example where there was

> ...solve "escape the room" level puzzles just to find a key... Been there a few times, once told on leaving there was a piece of string hanging from an open window and I should tie the key to it and then throw it inside.

Best airbnb I have ever stayed at had no reviews whatsoever. I had become so jaded from previous experience that I figured I may as well take a chance. The place itself was fairly standard but the host was very professional and appreciative

Would you book an airbnb for a month without staying in it for a short stay first?

I employ a copywriter who can knock out 300 words on a range of subjects, to a very high standard, based on a similarly short prompt. I don't think she needs to worry just yet although I would suggest she doesn't think about uppin

Based on previous experience, I concur. There are businesses with a culture of 'pay late no matter what' and this becomes the norm, regardless of logic. I had a manager who could buy just about anything he wanted with no checks as

The UK is the size of an average US state though, not really comparable. Personally, it's mostly next day but not always.

Sure, but renting is going to be what a lot of people continue to do - save some miracle of market disruption.

How does this differ from banks lending money for traditional mortgages, it's just another method of financing? Yes, I know the cost of housing is insane and something should be done about it, but introducing some level of market effic

'maybe Which? in the Uk..' I would argue that Which is no longer a reliable source of unbiased information. They have affiliate links and the number of products tested for each category is suspiciously low. Office chairs is one re

There has to be an incentive for someone to write an authoritative and unbiased list in order for such a list to surface via web search. For the two examples you give, it's just not going to happen. For other products, I agree with the

This is the tip of a very large iceberg. I knew a woman who was paid to click ads, she earned less than 1 euro a day, on average, but it was better than begging - which seemed like her only viable alternative since her age ruled out prostit
