When did speeding fines go up?
A mobile unit zapped me at 7 in the morning last Thursday and I was only 5 miles over 30 in a 30. I had zero points on my license. Gutted.

Know someone who got done for 31 in a 30 zone.
Didnt think that could happen.

X, can’t you just pay up for a driver awareness course and skip the points? Or is it points regardless nowadays?

Yeah I'll pay the £110 and do the course. When it was a £60 fine it didn't seem bother me so much…

Take the fine/points.
The training course is a fate worse than death.

Guess it depends who's doing it.
How long was yours? I was there for at least 3 hours.

Shoplifting is on the increase near me and everytime I see it it makes my blood boil. I've always been an incredibly fast runner and always tempted to chase them down. Anyone done this?

why the fuck would you do that? How does it negatively impact on you. Few people shoplift for a laugh

If it is a US based seller why wouldn't it be customs duty + Import VAT (20%) + £8 Royal Mail fee?

Have a second shower that is an 8.5kw electric one and not very powerful.
Want to swop it for a 10.8kw Mira sport one but don't know if that can be done on existing wiring or need an upgrade.
Do I need an electrician or plumber or both?
I'm hoping electrician can do everything and what might be a reasonable cost?
