If the price of a $100k Porsche goes up by 25% in America, either the number sold will drop or the 'buyer' will just borrow more on lease, though not 25% more as the end of lease value will also go up. Either way the American citizen pays more and the American government rakes in the extra as tax. Somehow Trump chose not to explain that to his mesmerised audience last night!

I also think Trump's way of operating is now understood, abd when other countries push back, he's as likely to moderate his actions. Esp' if US citizens begin to suffer higher prices, even if that's only in the short term, it'll put pressure back on Trump.

Meanwhile another day of market drops. Ftse down over 100 again.

Jitters abound.

It's clear that when looked into these unfair tariffs that Trump has been claiming other countries are using against USA don't exist. He clearly doesn't appreciate that not everyone wants to buy goods made in the US of A or that Americans buy Porsche cars because they actually like them or even that Chinese imports are high because American companies outsource because home wages are higher.

Bill, believe me I tried all those possibilities!
This actually started 2 years ago, when the problem first became apparent. The connection works fine, which is why its hard to get the ISP to do anything, except for when one wants to switch supplier. After lots of time spent in 2023 I gave up and stayed with TT.

This year I tried to get TT to add the house name into the address on my ...

Thanks Guy, got it.

Thanks Ray, I'll compare coverage and what you get included.

Anam,

I can recommend Lebara as I was with them for a number of years. Rolling 1 month contract and, on the odd occasion I needed advice, when I went full fibre/landline recently, there was always a human on their customer service line. The only donwside for me, and the reason why I moved on to another provider, is that they use the Vodafone network which, in my area has deteriorated so...

Guy, what about naming the house with the old name and editing your address details? Kind of, play them at their own game. 😄

No David, never thought of that!
I might yet need to try the Ombudsman although at the moment the switch to Plusnet does seem to be progressing.

Anam, sent a Lebara link, though not sure I have your current email. Still on btconnect.com ?

Hi Robert,
This an interesting idea. Certainly would make it much easier to stow the side curtains and avoids any chance of the studs snagging the pockets of blanketing you use.
A question from me if I may.
I presume the back rest latches can be engaged with the curtains in their storage space, but what stops the back rest moving upwards against the support angles?
Perhaps retainin...

Trump hits UK with reciprocal tariffs. 10% to 10%.

But 25% on autos abd parts.

What will Starmer do?

Not much he can do, other than negotiate for a deal.
