Re: BT Sports

I had been paying NTV which went out of business but am now using https://www.stream2watch.org it is free but you have to fight your way through a minefield of adverts, redirected sites and changes of link to get start...

BT Sports

Best way of watching here in Portugal? I do not pay for it on Sky as not available on satellite in Algarve and streaming channels I have tried are rubbish.

Re: Roof terraces

The tiles do little if anything to stop water penetration. There will be a membrane or several coats of sealant underneath the tiles. My tiles lifted and cracked because there was no expansion joint. I dug down to find there was a membrane 50mm polystyrene and about 40mm screed on which the tiles we...

Re: Under-sink water purifier

Were all the rage a few years ago but seem to have died out. Neighbour bought one but when the filter needed renewal the firm had disappeared and filters were no longer available for his model. We used to buy bottled water but Doc. insisted tap water was OK and we have used that for many years with ...

Re: IMI

Earlier this year I overlooked payment and received a demand including costs which had a 15 digit reference as normal. It had to be paid in 32 days. Perhaps you did not pay first late demand and the game changes for further late period.

Continente new UNIVERSO card

If you were thinking of applying for this new card and are over 72 forget it. What a time waster !!. I filled in the application on line only for it to come up when applying at the end that I was over 72 and could not proceed. No where in the literature does it state this fact. How is old age discri...

Re: Fossa

A well designed three tank fossa which is looked after may never need emptying . I had one that lasted 12 years before we moved and a neighbor had never had his emptied in 20 years. A single cess-pit tank will need emptied when it is full.

Re: Cespa petrol station outside Amacao De Pera

This Cepsa station is reliable and before vilifying them you should have gone back and discussed your problem. They issue receipts without any request and you should have taken one. A nearly empty tank may not register the small quantity of fuel you purchased for several miles until the float sensor...
