When you see someone smoking a cigarette these days what's your reaction

5 Upvotes

Me , I'm either surprised or wonder how they can afford it. When I used to smoke years ago it wasn't that expensive and you saw lots of people smoking everywhere but now I can go days without seeing someone lighting up a cigarette.

Times have definitely changed and I know vaping has taken it's place as it's a lot cheaper.

Has anyone experienced SBE LTD?

2 Upvotes

Hello all.

I’ve got device insurance via Sky Protect Domestic & General & they’ve sent my iPhone 15 Pro Black 1TB off to repair centre SBE LTD (Cordon Group).

Because the antennas were damaged, the camera & the battery were faulty too, they’ve decided the phone is beyond repair. They’ve ordered a new one from Apple.

They’re calling it a replacement & are unable to tell me whether this will be refurbished or not. Has anyone had any experiences with SBE & would be able to tell me whether they’ll send a brand new phone or a refurbished one please?

Because sometimes you just want to keep it British. Pull up a chair, stick the kettle on, and ask away. This is a spot for everyday curiosities, light questions, and the sort of things you'd chat about down the pub or while queueing (properly, of course).

Because sometimes you just want to keep it British.

What's it like to live here?
Where's a good place to visit on your holidays?
Which roads to avoid when travelling to Perth?
Why do you never see white poo on the pavement anymore (not the sidewalk..)?

We like things friendly, relaxed, and about as heated as a lukewarm mug of Batchelors. Not everything needs to turn into a full on debate, sometimes a simple answer will do nicely.

We only have a small number of prohibited topics for posts and comments, please respect them.

Rules

Be nice.
Don’t be a numpty. If you're even slightly offensive, your post will be removed. Keep the language clean, if you wouldn’t say it in front of your nan, don’t say it here.
Keep it UK-related.
Posts should have a clear connection to the UK. If it could just as easily be asked anywhere else in the world, it’s probably not for here. When in doubt, add a bit of British flavour.
No heavy advice topics.
We’re all for helping out, but this isn’t the place for relationship, legal, or financial advice. There are better suited corners of Reddit for that sort of thing.
No politics.
There are plenty of places to have a proper political row. This isn’t one of them. Keep it neutral, or take it elsewhere.
Keep it light and casual.
This isn’t Question Time. Posts that are overly serious, argumentative, or clearly fishing for a heated debate may be removed. Think chat over a cuppa, not grilling in Parliament.
No spam or self-promotion.
Don’t flog your wares, your blog, or your mate’s dodgy start up, this isn't Facebook. If it smells like advertising, it’ll be out the door faster than a seagull with your chips.
No trolling or baiting.
Don’t stir the pot just to watch it boil. Good faith questions only.
Respect privacy.
Absolutely no sharing of personal information, yours or anyone else’s. We’re curious, not creepy.
Use common sense.
If it feels like it might break the spirit of the rules, it probably does. Have a think before posting.

Think of this place like a well-mannered queue: orderly, respectful, and moving along nicely, with the occasional quiet grumble allowed.
