You can tell it's an election year in the US. The left's trolls are back mass posting attacks on Trump (which is weird because it's a midterm election, not a presidential one).

Won in Court this week against TalkTalk/ debt recovery agents.
Long story short - wrote to them in 2018 to cancel the account as per their written T&C's - they failed to do so and kept racking up monthly costs. I'd cancelled their Direct Debit to stop them raiding my bank account after I sent the cancellation letter. I paid any outstanding balance and got on with my life.
They kept my account going and eventually sent me a "Final Demand" letter for £130.00 - I ended up in correspondence with them to try and sort it out and during that period of trying to sort it out, they sold the "debt" on to JC Acquisitions.
I got the usual bully boy tactics from their debt collectors who threatened court action. So went to court this week. The judge threw their case out! The judge was absolutely scathing about TalkTalk and their 'customer service' and the same too about their debt recovery people who held in very poor regard. He said many times during the hearing "You should not be here for wanting to cancel your broadband connection"
They really are a disingenuous, useless, unethical and corrupt company and I was beaming as I left the Court building.

Did the masts actually get upgraded in December? or were they telling you a Boris ?
I think the part about new customers getting go speed in the first couple of weeks is true. One of my relatives purchased a 3 broadband, it strangely slowed down after the 14 days try out period. Their solution is turn off & turn on again lol

Apparently they only do it cos they are bored and have nothing to do. Weirdly when I was a kid and this happened I just went fishing, played computer games or kicked a football around.
The peasant underclass you are describing are an absolute menace and are annoyingly untouchable by law. So sad knowing that folk (particularly elderly or vulnerable) are afraid to go out walking alone due to the oxygen thieves hanging around street corners.
Are the parents to blame? Not always but they should have some accountability and at least know where there kids are. I really don't understand what pleasure these reprobates get from tormenting innocent people. They will breed inevitably so we will end up with generations and generations of useless human beings. Shame covid couldn't be used to target some of them. Society would not lose anything by having a few less chavs polluting the streets. Shame the police have no real power to do anything.

Completely ridiculous. I have had a few similar experiences lately which boggle the mind. I flew home at xmas and thought I would treat myself to a pint at airport. I knew it was going to be expensive and the £7 price tag confirmed that. I did notice though when ordering that a half pint was the same price! How on earth is that possible. £7 for half a pint of beer. Then the other week I was in the pub and one of my pals was on the soft drinks for medical reasons. Anyway pint of water with a dash of cordial. £2.30! That's absolutely disgusting. Bottle of cordial is about 50p so charging that for a little splash is just wrong. Most places charge £1 which I think is okay as they have staff to pay and glasses to wash but £2.30 is just unbelievable

There are currently central reservation works taking place on the A14 near Newmarket. Westbound the dual carriageway is reduced to just one lane. Eastbound three lanes are reduced to two. In both directions there are 'merge in turn' signs placed intermittently from approximately 1 mile before the lane closure. More recently, in both directions, there are overhead variable message signs that read 'use the outside lane for overtaking only'. The speed limit reduces to 50mph and because of the traffic road users aren't able to break the 50mph limit (even if they wanted to).
As pointed out by FreddyF, the Highway Code recommends merge-in-turn and is intended to encourage full use of lanes while they are open. The Highways Act 1980 s.137 states that deliberately blocking a carriageway is illegal.
Everyday (Monday - Friday) since around September, I have been unable to use the outside lane westbound as it is intended to be used by the Highway Code because HGV's are deliberately and illegally blocking the outside lane. The HGV drivers who have been doing this have been ignoring the overhead variable message signs that read 'use the outside lane for overtaking only' - which I suspect have been put in place to stop this behaviour.
On three occasions in the last two weeks a HGV has blocked both lanes at once from about 400 yards from the lane merge.
Last night, whilst approaching the lane merge eastbound (approximately 600 yards) a HGV quickly moved from the inside lane across the middle lane and then halfway into the outside lane before slowing right down. I was in the outside lane with no cars in front of me when the HGV pulled out. I had to slow down from 50mph to 25mph very quickly - not safe. I waited behind the HGV for a few seconds before going around. The HGV driver began flashing their headlights. I've seen this happen to other drivers several times now. WHY!?
I totally understand the frustration of HGV drivers described in this thread and I understand and appreciate how vital HGV drivers are to the everyday running of the nation. That being said, this doesn't give HGVs the right to police the roads or put others at danger. It doesn't give HGV drivers the right to take away the right of other road users from using the outside lane as intended. This behaviour is preventing other road users from completing their journeys in the time it "should" take. If I need to use the outside lane in order to get to my destination on time I should be able to do so.
And... ultimately, the behaviour of HGV drivers I've described is illegal and at times unsafe - so please stop!!

I'm 33 and I was a lot happier when I was a teenager. We had a home PC but social media didn't exist back then and it was all new and exciting. Now everything is ruined.
