  1. Had a quote from X for my annual car insurance, I accepted the quotation. On the renewal date the company took more than the quotation amount ... not much more, but still not the agreed amount.

    They say it's a 'system error' and it's a 'price slip'.

  5. Is watching The Traitors like watching Squid Game?
    (I never watched Squid Game.)

    Some of the reactions and behaviours are starting to make me squirm.

    If you had a choice would you participate? - with the additional advantage of watching the current participants, of course.

    "I want to thank the British descendants of the Windrush generation for the work, the effort, the resilience, the strength that they have shown. They could have gone under decades ago but they have risen to the point where they have created this perfect storm for me. ... The National Windrush Monument is my thank you to them all."
