If it has a light on indicating a stand-by mode, then, however small, there is energy being drawn, as their has to be circuitry and energy to illuminate said light thingy.

If you're that worried, tell ye ma to take the batteries out of her TV remote or........ other battery devices that may, be in a ready for use status. Maaatron.


For the hearing aid, the threshold for detection is slightly out, or, by design they know your hearing is better in one than the other, so they set indicator(if possible) slightly higher/lower.

^^^ Thanks, gents, I'm guessing it is a slight variance in the setting of the units (they are the over-the-ear variety with the little watch type batteries). 

My right ear hearing is worse, so I would assume it has been set to a higher level, I just didn't realise that would use more battery power, I thought the battery life was based on time used, not what it's used for.

Are there any rules on when a company is allowed to pass your details to a debt collector, or sell the debt to them?

Do they have to have made an attempt to collect the debt or make contact with the customer a certain amount of times first?

My old energy supplier didn't take my final payment from my account, didn't let me know or make any attempt to contact me and then 18 months later I start getting letters and phone calls about a debt with them.

When I found out, I immediately paid the outstanding balance direct to the energy supplier but still getting calls from the debt collector. I refuse to speak to them out of principle, and have spoken to the energy supplier who said they will contact the debt collectors and tell them it has been paid but still the same a few weeks later.

I'm wondering if I have grounds for an official complaint to Ofgem.

It may be the debt collection agency at fault rather than the energy supplier.

The Financial Conduct Authority has information about the regulation of agencies which may help.

If you've spoken to the supplier, paid the debt and been told that would be the end of it, youre well within your rights to put an Ofgem complaint in.

Regardless of who was at fault for the debt being passed to debt collection  they should still recall it once its been settled so the energy supplier has not delivered what they promised.

I do have some experience as I worked in the debt department at British Gas a few years ago.

If you have a look here, http://www.fliptronics.com/tip0006.html, it has a good breakdown of typical LR44 battery performance when used in Digital calipers (the circuits in many of the cheaper Chinese ones don't actually actually turn off, just the display, which is seriously annoying as it means they eat through batteries) but it gives a general idea of possible battery life over such periods of time.

This solves a long standing mystery for me. How I could never get the batteries in one of those buggers to last any decent length of time despite only occasional use. Went back to manual calipers in the end.

It's seriously annoying.

I had an old Mitutoyo, cost an arm and a leg around 30 years ago and still working perfectly though the display is tiny by more modern standards, but a few years ago I thought I'd buy one of the new cheap Chinese things as a backup and something handy to do 'near enough' measurements and that I needn't worry too much about leaving lying around down in my workshop.

While it was constructed cheaply, very, and of mostly non solvent resistant plastic for the body instead of non magnetic stainless steel and cutting fluid impervious materials like the Mitu's, it was accurate enough for my sort of use but unfortunately I found it went through batteries like a George Best got through booze and became annoyingly unpredictable as to if it would actually spring into life whenever I went to turn it on and use it.

I browsed around and found that this was a common fault and largely all down to that reason up above.

There are fixes but they involve intrusive poking around and inserting a switch, a bit of a bodge judging by some photos I saw, so I found it easier to simply take the battery out when not in use.

I ended up buying a much newer Mitutoyo off Ebay which has now become my number one goto though probably like yourself, I'm still quite fond of my old no batteries required verniers largely since I was brought up using them back in the 60's at school when doing Physics and remain comfortable reading them, and I even sometimes still resort to my now rather old but cosseted Moore & Wright micrometers even though they haven't been officially calibrated in years. I do occasionally give them all  a check out with some guages and they still seem fine for the enthusiastic amateur stuff I tend to do though which never requires the very fine precision they are well capable of measuring.

I’m not sure if they do, have asked on a Mini forum as found those R56 ones too. They look pretty similar.

Will take a look on there mate.

Don't suppose anyone knows any alternative car insurance companies?
The comparison sites don't offer .much, I used to use a company called elephant, they weren't on the compare sires and were fairly cheap.
Can't use them anymore so any recommendations would be helpful.

Yes. Mate of mine used to work in a converted warehouse on Sefton Street opposite Coburg dock in the mid 80's. He used to tell me horror stories about the Wharf rats that used to come in to their canteen, these fuckers grow to about a foot and a half in length, same size as a domestic cat.

I bet any ex dockers on here would be able to tell a few tales.

I was sitting at the lights coming out the dock end of the tunnel coming into town and something caught the corner of my eye running up the little path inside the tunnel and it was a rat the size of a cat. Looked in my rear view a we were just a row of cars all looking horrified at this monster running past us.

My car insurance renewed at the end of June, and I phoned them up to negotiate as their renewal price was a rip off. I was (very!) happy with the price they then offered - way better than any on comparison sites - so I said go ahead. They confirmed my card details from the previous year were still valid and said the payment went through. I recevied the renewal docs and left it at that.

I have just noticed that my card has never been charged. I've logged into my account with the insurer and it says everything is fine.

Should I say something? Is my insurance valid?

When we had our bathroom done 10+ years ago we got one of those valve things with 3 controls that goes on the wall.

One turns on the shower, one the bath and one controls the temperature. 

We need to replace it or repare it if possible as the temperature bit has seized up so we have to hope for the best that the water isn't too hot for a shower.

I've just been online to price them up but I'm having trouble finding them.  There's loads that look the same but none that does shower and bath.

Suggestions please.

Is it possible to repair it or am I just being dim and not looking at the right things that I can't find any?

Who's the manufacturer?

find  a local plumber/engineer who specialises in showers.(mixer variety). It sounds like a simple fault (a wax capsule or something) to repair/replace.

Go through the manufacturer and ask them if there is a service engineer local to you.

You can check the same database that the Police use, just enter your reg and tick to confirm you have valid reason to be checking this. If it comes up on here as insured, then its up to you if you contact them - I wouldn't personally.

I've recently got Netflix, but I have a concern someone in the house is "accidently" paying for films and series.  Apparently, if a series is chargeable for the first series, if you go to series and episodes and choose the second series onwards you don't get charged, but I find this unlikely.

Do you get billed straightaway when you purchase something, or is it added to the monthly amount?

You can check the same database that the Police use, just enter your reg and tick to confirm you have valid reason to be checking this. If it comes up on here as insured, then its up to you if you contact them - I wouldn't personally.

Thanks - it shows up as insured on there.

Cancel the insurance and see if they give you refund ;)

I never actually check that the payment has gone, all I do is make sure the policy docs are right and that I'm showing as insured and that is it.

I've recently got Netflix, but I have a concern someone in the house is "accidently" paying for films and series.  Apparently, if a series is chargeable for the first series, if you go to series and episodes and choose the second series onwards you don't get charged, but I find this unlikely.

Do you get billed straightaway when you purchase something, or is it added to the monthly amount?

Everything on Netflix is free with the monthly sub.

Cheers, Craig.  So even though it says £2.49 or whatever, as I pay the £6 a month I won't get charged?

... Are you sure you are on Netflix? Nothing in Netflix has an individual price, there is no option to just pay for one show or movie.

You pay the subscription and get access to everything.

Are you sure you are not on Amazon Prime?

Sounds like you’re using Amazon Prime, not Netflix.

You using a Firestick?
