Re: Whats it worth ?

Thanks all, he said he wanted £2800 for it, I don't have a full license yet and still on CBT so dont need it and have nowhere to store it but was thinking if I got it it would give me more motivation to pass the test but wondering how much insurance would be. I pay £370 now for a 125 and am 55yrs old.

I hope it works for you, if it does it's best to look at it as a temporary fix.

Re: Drone footage, rules and regs, purchasing, guidance etc..

In early June, with the help of a bottle of wine and a certain auction site, I bought a lightly-used drone - a sort-of 'proper' one with a decent camera but under the 249g limit. DJI Mini-2 SE if it's important. After it arrived I registered it (as you have to do) and downloaded the flying app to m...

Re: Green bin waste...

They started charging £55 for the green garden waste bin where I live 4 years ago,
but I hardly ever use it so am not renewing it this year.

This October the weekly recycling bin collection is changing to fortnightly along with non recycling.

Re: Broadband router regularly becoming inaccessible

I'm not convinced by TP Link. It looks smart and it's cheap, but the stuff I've had has either failed too soon (imho) or just not worked. I have a few TP Link products all hooked up and running constantly and have not had any failures yet, the only problem I sometimes get (3 or 4 times a year) is a...
