Do people still go to the office!!!

Our place - a 3 floor office building - has have very few staff going in. They are now knocking down all the offices on the middle floor and just having a full open plan hotdesk for when and if people want to go in. No longer split into individual departments. Our standard for the whole company is work from home - 250 people.

Every day I do out of choice. Building of 300 occupied by about 20 right now.
 
MM rejected my air pods pro and their new offer was £1.00

Obviously I said just return them to me. They said there was a false with a noise when being tested. Rather keep them than sell them for £1. Might keep them as a spare or change the tips and give them to my wife

Well and truly!

Barclays finance messed up.. they initially put it thought as iup when I said I wanted 24m… so they had to then refund that /cancel that application and go through again… this time it was on the approval page for 8 minutes and then looked like it timed out and rejected!

Ended up just buying outright
So you have now saved £60/month!

Well the wife did the maths!!!
I originally had said if I drop to the Pro it gives me £110 towards the AirPod Pros 2 along with £91 from CeX making it only about £50.

She realised last night before going to sleep. ‘Hold up where’s the £100 come from to pay for the phone as that went on the Airpods’. ***** busted!!!
You can’t hide anything from them!
 
Don’t get an option from tomorrow. Probably not in any local warehouses or something down south

Huge time delay as reading thread back. Weird as i can get therm tomorrow - I am just along on the south coast


EDIT: Just saw that someone said it could be the Marathon. That'll be it.

Have you tried CEX? They pay more than MM in the first instance anyway
 
I'm not having much luck with MM either, sent my AW Series 6 to them on Monday morning, they received it on Wednesday morning according to the tracking, got an email from them that they had received it on Friday afternoon, so now have to wait until Monday / Tuesday.

Appreciate they must have had thousands of devices to process, but it's not like they didn't know that would before hand. Used to have nothing bad to say about them, but this year they have been terrible.
 
I also gave in to CEX and got £91 for my AirPods, said they were A grade but after testing of course, comes out with B grade. Is what it is couldn’t be bothered to hold on to them for any longer
 
Thank you ! Because my Pro was a gift from my father and well, I want to swap it and pay the difference to get the PM. But if my father is the one getting the refund, then... it's not a gift anymore

Just catching up on the thread so not sure it’s been answered. You can get them to refund back to Apple vouchers and then reuse them for a new one

Maybe due to the London Marathon tomorrow. I have just clicked on a few random items on Amazon and they all say delivery for Monday (However I am "within" the marathon route, so there would be no access for most of the day). From your comments about Bromley I assume you are further out, but maybe Amazon just have a blanket no delivery in London tomorrow.

Yeah I’m on the outskirts. Had a busy day test driving my next planned purchase today

Forgot to order the screen protector so still not unboxed the max

What EV ya getting?

Toss up between a taycan and etron GT. Audi dealer messed me about with the test drive yesterday, cancelling a few hours before I was due to take it out.

Had the taycan this morning and wow, my minds made up!

Only issue is that they’re rarer than a 14pm! Been told if I order today it would be some time in 2024 before I’d get it!

Done chargers for owners of both and both stunning cars to be fair!

Every car unless it’s a cancellation in the queue or a dealer order is a big wait I’m afraid! Half the chargers we fit the owners have over 6 months to wait until their car comes

Going though work fleet and they seem to think the GT could be Q1 next year!

It’s just not doing it for me… maybe if I get fed up waiting

From my experience no one has a clue on car availability. There’s people been waiting on EV VWs for 18 months and they can’t leave it as company leases have changed so much in that time they couldn’t get anything else near what they have

Learnt way more than I knew last week about single and three phase supply and pen fault detection!

Seems to loads of home ev units out there too. Zappi seem to be a brand that rock a few boxes.. got 18 months to figure it out
 
I don’t work for them but go with Zappi mate. Market leaders especially with integration and they’re launching their own batteries soon too!

Unlikely you’ll have 3 phase supply at home unless you’re in a mansion! Also read up on your cars AC and DC charging speeds. The amount I talk to who think their car will AC charge at 22kw when the car comes with a 11kw inverter
 
Seriously tempted by the Belkin MagSafe nightstand, wanted it for years and been put off because of the price, but it just seems ideal for me.

Is the one Amazon are selling the one with apple watch fast charging?

What’s your view on PodPoint? For the Wife’s Mini Cooper we went with PodPoint because she liked the look. The main benefit are all the main supermarkets have them and you can charge for free.

That’s the wrong one. It’s the older model that doesn’t have fast charge. This is the newer one with fast charge.

Go to the Belkin UK website.
Create an account, then add the charger to your basket then leave the site.
In about 48hrs you should get an email with 25% off your first purchase, which brings it down to £105.
