Err, I think the (dubioius) warning refers to when the device is activated not while sitting mute in a glovebox!

Re: Orihuela Costa N332 Fatal Accident - Car & Rental E-Scooter

I've completely lost count of the number of scooter riders I've seen wearing helmets but not done up making them completely useless. Also frequently seen them hanging equally uselessly on the handlebars.

Great source of donor organs though!

Re: Wise - Beware Scam Email

"Hello" is an instant giveaway as genuine emails from Wise are always addressed to the customer by full name, that's all you need to remember!

Furthermore messages will also be copied to the inbox in your account and phone app.

Wise can do little about this sort of thing and such messages are ...

Re: Leaving your car window slightly open when parked could lead to a fine

If there is no actual air movement through the car then leaving a window, or windows, open a crack will do nothing to keep the temperature down.

Re: BBVA Takeover Of Sabadell

Let's hope it goes better than the Caixa merger with Banki which in terms of customer care went from exemplary to abysmal in the blink of an eye!

Re: Hellooooooo ............ is anybody there?

Restoration has been patchy, as you would expect.

In the Quesada/Benijofar area apparently it was back around 6-7pm but a little further inland, San Isidro/Albatera/Crevillente etc. which is my area, it was not until the wee hours this morning.

I say 'wee' not as a Scotsman but as someone who is ...

Chopping off a willy doesn't make a man a woman, ask John Bobbitt!

A man will always be a man and a woman always a woman, the sole exceptions to that otherwise immutable rule are simultaneous hermaphrodites!

Re: Common sense prevails at last.

A totally correct decision IMO.

I have absolutely no problem with anyone identifying with whatever persuasion takes their fancy, knock yourselves out!

What I do object to is them expecting the vast majority who do not share their ideas to accede to their demands.

You made your choice, live with it.

Re: Renewing your spanish driving licence at 70 and over

EWN are taking rubbish, as usual.

As the quote from DGT says the medical is the same for all ages and the validity of a licence for over 65's MAY be less than the maximum of 5 years if medically indicated.

I'm 75 and got 5 years at renewal just a couple of months ago.

I concur with freddo about ...
