Just to clarify, yes I do post other stuff but I've been on here so long that I don't want to feel like I'm repeating myself so keep my comnents/thoughts to anything new I've got to say .

As for all the other stuff I've always thought that as an Admin I have a duty to try to keep the forum active so look to find stuff people may be interested in that might generate some posts considering I have the time to do so.

Am quite surprised that you have the patience to access the Leicester Mercury website and click on a news article - considering the length of time it takes to view a story on it, due to the amount of advertisements slowing the website down..

I've always recognized the effort you put in to keep this forum alive. Thanks Davie

£200 

 

It's only a small company so doesn't look like it, I'm going to have to pay customs again to get it back too. 

Just put for repair and return and no customs fee are applicable 

 

I have just sent an expensive watch case to Canada to be refurbished and this is exactly what I put on the customs declaration and no charge was incurred…. Ask the seller to do the same when they return it

I think @davieG provides a valuable service for those who don’t live in Leicester any more. 

 

He’s like FTs very own local news reporter who keeps us all updated on local news and issues as they break.

 

“Mr Leicester” on here 

as much as I love @davieG and all he does for the site, people outside Leicester can get news about the city anyway

Interviews for applying for a passport........... is this guaranteed? I thought it was (for everybody) but anyone I ask gives me different answers

Only for new applications, I think. I didn’t require one for a renewal.

I don't recall ever being interviewed for my passport... This a relatively recent development?

Just googled it, turns out you don't need one if you're under 15 or held a passport since childhood.

Hopefully you don’t die on us Scouse but if I were you I’d call the NHS on 111 and talk to them about your symptoms and see what they say...

If so, he won't 'die' - his soul will just carry on.

I've just received an email from the DVLA saying I'm due a refund of overpaid vehicle tax.  I just need to fill in certain details, including my bank account detail, and I'll get a refund.  How about that for good news eh? 

 

By the way, I didn't realise the DVLA had an office in Brazil (the reply email address was '.br').  How much do you think I'll receive?

It is worrying though, seeing this type of scam and knowing that people do fall for it - especially those more vulnerable.
