Beckenham Spa used to provide plastic shoe covers for the swimming pool side changing rooms. Not sure if they do now as there's a box with them in to sell.
These sort of things.
Nope, they no longer have them there. I was surprised to see they'd gone on a recent visit. They have at least introduced a wristband system for the swimming pool to stop people sauntering in without paying.
Online check in for car servicing - is car servicing now done virtually ?? It would appear so because now when I book my car in for servicing at my Ford dealer, days before the booked date I get texts and e mails telling me to book my car in for the service in days to come online. I had cause to change the date of the service (by telephone with them direct not online, bringing the date forward not pushing it back) and Ive today received a request to book my car in online for the original date for the service appointment which was cancelled by this telephone call and the service has already happened as the date was brought forward to an earlier date !!!! This leads into another frustration of modern life - when technology makes things more difficult and frustrating and not easier - bring back just having landlines and fax machines please !
Anyway - this online check in farce at airports and now at car dealers serves zero purpose for the customer as by definition you cant check in, in the true definition of the word, until you are physically there, you cant check your luggage in virtually you have to be physically there to do it - but what it does do is let the airline or car dealer know that you will actually be attending on the agreed date and are highly unlikely to be a no show. If it was called what it is then fair enough - something like Confirmation of Attendance, Intention to Attend - but Check In ? Until you are physically present at the required location of airport or car dealer on the date and time agreed, by definition you cant check in.
When I keep getting a pop up from Norton that my computer cover is coming to an end, especially when I have never had Norton. How do I stop it without clicking onto it

They should rename it, 'mandatory marketing and data grabbing'.

Download something called limewire, that will do it
Adblue warning keep pinging every 5 minutes, when its still 1300 miles from empty
So anyway, I thought I'd top up the AdBlue to stop these f***in chimes, and idiotically ended up putting screenwash in the AdBlue tank. Very frustrating, but had lots going on - but that's not the point of this post.
I want to name and shame Fuel Fixer, who, after keeping me on hold for around 15 minutes, quoted me £850 to drain the tank. Bear in mind, I hadn’t even started the engine and was told all that was needed was to drain the tank (so this is a service charge only, with minimal, if any, materials needed, and their engineer lives 5 minutes away). I told the bloke where to go, called another company (one man band?), and he's now coming out to do the job for £195.

To fully get rid of Norton you will need to download the “Norton removal tool” it’s a bastard to do without it

Just like to give a shout out to Wrong Fuel 24/7 - done the job literally 75% cheaper than the above. Imran, top bloke, came all the way over from East London n'all. 👍

Modern diesels are such a pain in the rear end. I know you can code out the adblue requirement but it's probably a MOT failure if the tester is diligent enough to check.

Did he come through the Blackwall or Silvertown Tunnel, and did he get charged?
