I'm liking my new chromecast device with all the apps on it....comes with a remote control as well, with all of nine buttons on it now to control the tv, my original remote which I still have (samsung) has about 30 buttons on it, why ffs. #PushButtonTV
Story on the BBC site about the 'soaring cost' of the bearskin caps used in the uniform of the King's Guards https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gly3l8y45o Apparently they are still made from real bearskin and cost over £2k a pop ... Difficult to think that with the science and technology available today, nobody can come up with a cheaper synthetic alternative... but apparently not...
Yeah looks like PETA have raised the issue, watched a few of their videos around the cruelty to animals, but you are right as are they, there has to be cheaper alternatives and if it saves an animals life, why not.
I had some faith in insurance companies recovered recently For the last twenty years so I have been with Churchill and they cover both cars and the house as that gives discounts Last month I received a letter regarding the home insurance stating they had made an error in their calculations and refunded the equivalent of a moths premium despite reducing the cost of cover the year before Then a coupler of days ago I received another letter this time regarding my car insurance stating that they had made a miscalculation and I was due a refund despite my insurance not going up this year when I was expecting it to increase by about 20%, the refund was the equivalent of 11 months premiums and they stated if I was not happy I could query it Obviously;y I did not query it just in case So one the one hand how did they miscalculate the premiums but one the other hand they apologised and refunded me I knew you would all be pleased for me
