It's everywhere John. I use Duck Duck Go as my search engine. They recently added a VPN like add-on which blocks tracking attempts from your apps! In the last 7days almost 21000 in my case 😱😱😱. Biggest culprits, Google, Weather app, Octopus Energy and incredibly over 17000 from Talk Radio

Crikey Dave there's a memory. I bought this for my birthday in May 66. Listening then to Eric Clapton and "Steppin Out" wasn't just guitar music is was an almost religious event. It's in the loft somewhere alongside Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane and others, time to get rummaging I think 😎

You raise the incomprehensible (to me) idea of equality! If a man and a woman shall be treated equally irrespective of statistical risk then what relevance is say my occupation? In fact why bother with risk at all if we are all equal? 🤠

Because these firms are trading your touch points with others, remember John you are the commodity. And remember Cambridge Analytica who really understood this stuff

Well I recall years and years ago Lexis coming about. It was to serve the legal community with easier access to Halsburys statutes of England and Butterworths precedents and other aspects of a comprehensive legal database in the nascent digital age. Perhaps with ChatGPT they are looking to widen their usefulness?

Well this is interesting 🤔, TP has them at 2.5 stars yet claim 65% 5 star reviews. I admit that I only looked at the first few pages of the most recent reviews and they look pretty abysmal. But your note did encourage me to try Equifax. Fortunately I have no need for cards or loans but can see where it could be useful for some people. Thank you for that. 👍

John, sorry to say but look at Trust pilot for Credit Karma reviews 😕

Doesn't anyone want to get paid these days🤯🤯🤯,

Yes Herbs but had Robert not spent the additional £100 he probably would have squandered it on beer and fags. Whereas the recipient of the £100 probably gave it to his aged aunt for groceries thereby supporting shop workers and growers who in turn used their earnings to buy a lexus thereby keeping your local dealer in business for your benefit. And it's cost you nowt 🎉🎉🎉😎

I know this is slightly adjacent to the article but we are almost at 46 years since the launch of the Voyager 1&2 spacecraft. I remember it well as at the time I worked for the firm who made the on-board digital cameras. My point is your key fob has more computational power in it than the Voyagers 😱, so even at £100 quid ish it's still a bargain 🍻

Dear God 🤯🤯🤯

Two beeps? The difference between 1st world problems and 3rd world ones 🤠

On this weekend above all others it's timely you bring up the act of forgiveness. I am equally sure John knew that the three most valuable things in life are love, compassion and forgiveness. A Lexus manual wouldn't make the top 100 on the list 🍻

Don't you mean Food of The Dogs, being dyslexic 🤠

That's a wonderful tribute to your father Sarah, well said you. He and I had many enjoyable exchanges especially as he knew my overriding affinity with Greece and the Greek people. They have a saying, (one of many) which roughly translated says, "don't walk behind me as I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me as I may not always follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend". This for me sums up your father exactly. Warmest of wishes Philip

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments Len. A real shocker and for me it follows on last weeks news of a similar fate for a fellow Jaguar XK owners club member, Keith Fox, who will be missed in equal measure. As my dear Mother would've said "whatever is the world coming to"?

I have been using Hoya varifocals for more than 30 years, as I got older on-coming glare became more of a problem. So I bought En-routes as soon as they were available and can reccomend highly. They can be expensive but Isight, Shepshed, Leicestershire are manufacturing Opticians and give you unbiased advice. For example they will fit lens into a provided frame saving you a fortune.

When Shakespeare wrote "let's kill all the lawyers" did he have a point? 🤔

Agreed John 👍

From todays on-line Daily Mail " While Land Rover models were the five most-recovered cars, according to its records for last year, it says hybrid vehicles are also becoming 'rich pickings' for criminals. The Lexus RX 450h entered Tracker's top ten most stolen and recovered league table, which is the first time a Lexus vehicle has ever appeared in its annual review of stolen and recovered vehicles. Keyless cars 'twice as likely to be stolen' A major insurer last year examined theft claims data and found that cars with keyless technology are twice as likely to be pinched as those without these features, and criminals are becoming increasingly brazen as more are ditching the cover of darkness to steal vehicles in broad daylight. Aviva said claims records held on its database for between August 2020 and August 2022 show that the number of cars stolen with keyless entry and keyless start systems were twice the volume of models without the tech. A spokesperson told This is Money: 'Analysis of our claims data reveals that theft claims are twice as likely to occur for keyless vehicles than non-keyless models.' > Read more: How keyless cars are more likely to be stolen 'A sharp rise in thefts of the Lexus RX450h in the second half of the year indicates it's likely to remain a target for thieves,' it said." Hate to think of the impact on insurance renewals 🤯

That could not have been the one in Sacramento last week that spontaneously caught on fire and the local fire department used SIX THOUSAND gallons of water to extinguish it 🤯🤯🤯.,could it? 🤠

Take a look at SGS Derby 👍

But is it that simple? Aren't you paying a regular 1/12th of a fixed cost for a service to be performed one year hence? Yes you are losing interest on the money which I reckon is about £3. Against that you have the possible effect of annual inflation, let's be kind and say 5% or say £30 so in fact you are "making/not losing" &£27 💸💸💸

I have experienced same and couldn't agree with you more, misting yes condensation never! And Oddly enough don't recall the same last year🤔

👍
