im moving to brazil in feb but have just bought a iPhone 7 on an o2 contract. I know i can get a sim over there with a plan that i want, and need to buy out this contract, but does anyone know if the phone will actually work over there? out there in the past I've bought an 8 band phone i.e. nokia polyphonic ringtone thing, and iPhones are way more expensive out there so want to keep this one.

How difficult would it be to dye my beams m65 jacket black? Its pretty worn and faded in places but like the shape etc and don't want to get rid. Has anyone tried this before or something similar? is this a shit idea in general? Any help/tips etc is appreciated, cheers. Apologies if this has been discussed or asked before.
Did this with exactly the same Beams M65, mine was stone/beige which I was never sold on as a colour but picked up really cheap in a sale - dyed it blue and worked perfectly except for the stitching which is nylon (and was also beige) remained it's original colour, which looked absolutely shit against the blue - went in the bin. Assuming the stitching is orange on yours you will have the same issue. Also mine was very light in colour which undoubtedly helped, not sure how well orange would work. Hope this helps.

Go on the local authority planning portal and look at the planning application details. You can usually search by postcode etc. to find it. If it has been approved and it is being built to plans there is nothing you can do. You will be surprised how little allowance is made with regards to Right to Light. If it is still at planning appplication stage then you could raise an objection asking the question about light and they will have to look into it before approving planning.
Yeh - my brother (and myself) have looked at the planning application. They've done full light analysis and it's around urban averages. Really comprehensive planning docs, but no where do they mention any analysis/benchmarking on distances between buildings, which suggests they don't care. Just wondered if they haven't mentioned it because they know that it's close - I know the distance, just don't know how to compare this to national recommendations or other builds which have been approved/rejected.
I think the only guidance documents for that would be building regulations but the approved codes are for guidance and you dont have to adhere to them by the letter. You could ring the building control office of the local authority and discuss with them.
If they have done light analysis etc. and are a reputable developer then is is very likely that they are operating within the requirements.

Get a nokia 6310i as it's Triband and will work out there. Also you won't be half as pissed getting that stolen as you would be with an iPhone 7.

No, pay as you go is significantly more expensive. Get a fixed term contract on a fixed short term and you'll save a fortune. If your current supplier will install a smart meter get one as you'll save in the long run.
Ofgem & the CMA just brought in the 21 day switch so it's really easy to change supplier, just get a quote on uswitch and switch to whoever is cheapest, just be wary of your expiry date as prices will go up after your fixed term.
Prices of 1 year deals went up last week, so move quickly as prices will continue to rise. Oh and avoid e.on as they are sneaky
