I believe the issue with sign-written vans is not to do with the travelling community, who as posted use plain vans, but to do with site licences which often are leisure only and don't permit tradesmen working away from home - but plenty of sites ignore that. Personally, I see no reason why...

What's on the number plate is not irrelevant for UK-registered cars - as above we now need the separate, larger UK sticker

I do my fitting with the door mirrors folded - that way I know they won't hit the glass or the bodywork when automatically folding.

JD Power results need to be carefully interpreted, based on the way they ask questions - typically their survey measures opinions against expectations - a flawed process as buyers of premium brands expect more than buyers of budget brands. Individual experiences aren't necessarily indicative of...

When ever I reconnect a gas cylinder, after a disconnection, I always light one of the cooker hob burners first to ensure that gas is in the system, not air - this can take a few moments as the air is pushed out but once lit I know that gas is available for the fridge and heating system

Just 49.8% of the popular vote
