dustydee: Yeah those could affect but generally if the water is odourless, colourless and without particles then it's really not bad. Leaky mains should be reported to the water company though |

This is very true, one of my lecturers back then in uni said almost the same thing and advised us to save some money by drinking tap water that it’s safe to drink. However, it will interest you to know that some people find it hard to swallow tap water. It’s too hard for them to swallow, hence they have to buy/drink filtered water EngrSaks: 1 Like |

Yes bro, you need international driving license (IDL) to drive in the UK and it’s only valid for 1 year from the day of arrival in the UK. Your IDL becomes invalid the moment you are issued a provisional license. So if you get pulled over and they find your details on the DVLA database, you will be charged as driving with a provisional license unsupervised and with no insurance as your insurance would be nullified immediately. NB: condition to drive with a provisional license is to be accompanied/supervised with someone over the age of 25 who’s had their FULL license for minimum of 3 years Tobexin: |

20k with current exchange rate is about £36 what a bargain compared to the hourly rate driving instructors charge here in the UK (average of £20/hr) Let her start the learning process in Nigeria to build her confidence on the road. When she arrives the UK, she should register with a driving sch to get the 1st 3 or 5 lessons discount (as the case maybe) Then the husband can take over until she’s confident enough. That’s the best way to safe money, otherwise it takes about 40-50 lessons (or even more depending on learning speed and confidence) to learn from scratch to getting a license. Now do the maths...

Tobexin: I drove with my US license for the first year and still had provisional license to which my car was insured by . However i never got stopped by the Police so i cannot say what would have happened but if stopped it would be flagged that the car is insured and Uk allows you to use foreign license for up to one year However this is still tricky if an accident happens and you are alone in the car , the insurance will not pay since provisional shouldn't be alone . So technically that car is uninsured in reality but insured on paper 1 Like |

Tobexin: Well its not an offence to drive with an international license under 1year while you also have a british provisional license. But what qualities you to drive in that case is the international licence and that's what you should present if stopped by law enforcement. Cheers |

I checked my kettle and there’s limescale but not so much. So, I’m going to purchase the filter jug as advised. Have actually had one lying in my argos basket for weeks now. That should help right? I just don’t like piling up plastics. Found the attached online. Your opinion? Lexusgs430:
