Gumtree- would you buy a phone without accessories?

A question about : Gumtree- would you buy a phone without accessories?

I would like to buy a phone on Gumtree, seem that so many sellers are selling phones alone without chargers.

Is there any way I can tell if the phones are stolen or not?

Best answers:

  • Check the imei online before buying
  • plenty cheap (NEW) ones around, with chargers- avoid!

Bristol or Basildon dilemma please help

A question about : Bristol or Basildon dilemma please help

hello!

I have been offered two identical jobs, one in Bristol and the other in Basildon, for which latter I have a slight preference.

I want to settle there for many years and raise a family

I have been told (and witnessed unfortunately) that Basildon is to be a shthole

Many chavs, crime, lack of stores/conveniences/amenities. (especially in Laindon where will work)

Basildon seems a very troubled area and definatelly not an area to raise children.

A question about : Osset, Brighouse or Batley

Hi,
Im looking to relocate fromthe east of england over to around Leeds/Wakefield/Hudderfield etc for job chances as there is nothing hardly going or within good commute distance on the east coast.

I have been look at the possibility of maybe Osset (outside of Wakefield) or Brighouse (Outer area of Huddersfield - Rastick)
Was also offer Batley but a few people have advised me that Batley is much better for work than to live in.

Widnes: Food waste disposal??

A question about : Widnes: Food waste disposal??

I've been around a relatives today and did a mass-clearout of their kitchen foods as i recognised that about 40% of the tinned food in the cupboards were infact out of date, talking years and not weeks/months.

I was aware that we had a Veolia waste plant in the local area but after asking around it seems they won't accept actual food waste like this. Been in such a predicament about it because my car has about 10-15 carrier bags full of tinned food which is obviously weighing it down.

Watch repair in West Midlands/Online

A question about : Watch repair in West Midlands/Online

Hi

I have a Emporio Armani Tazio Rose Tone Case Chronograph Rubber Strap watch.

I just had the battery replaced from a cheap market stall and that was the biggest mistake I made as now 2 of the front pins which serve the sub dials have literally just fallen off and fallen to the bottom. How this has happened I dont know as the market stall guy didnt even access that watch from the front, it was simply a battery replacement but clearly he has moved something which has caused this.
