You're absolutely right! There is no Screwfix soffit option for the yellow ones. Halfords sell the rear ones for £18.99 each.

I'm taking mine back to Halfords for a refund. You get twice as many from Screwfix for the same money.
50 @ 5.69 vs 100 @ 2.99 (http://www.halfords.com/motoring/number-plates/number-plate-accessories/halfords-number-plate-plastic-caps-white-hfx681)

Precisely. There are principles at stake here.

I parked my daily driver in front of the garage rather than to one side and had to move it again to get the weekend toy out...

My Samsung washing machine plays a jingle every time it finishes, but there's no choice of jingle, just the same one every time. I mean come on, it's not the stone age furious

My brother has just got one of my cars mot'd and wants me to collect it, as he needs the space, I don't need it at the moment and was happy to leave it in his shed for another five years, he's just so inconsiderate.

I feel your pain. Imagine my predicament if you will. I have to take my daily driver out of the garage, to get my weekend toy out. Whoever designed my garage needs to be sacked.

Had memory fade - ours is a Bosch as well - I know (and hate) that beep as well.

'Femail', the women's section of the newspaper designed for morons. This must be a proud moment Cotters.

We've got a Bosch and the bloody thing doesn't even stop beeping then. It only stops once you turn the bd thing off. Really annoying to be honest - if I've opened the fking door then clearly I'm aware the programme has ended so therefore the need to beep no longer exists. ing machine.

you can re set them not to do that, google with the model no or RTFM, really annoying when we had a new one and you put it on and go to bed

I've tried all that & still can't get it to shut up. It no longer beeps when you select a programme or when you press "start" (which is actually quite annoying as you're not sure you've pressed it), but it still beeps when the bloody thing finishes washing. Maybe it's a German "demanding attention" thing - similar to an Audi with their "hey hey hey everyone, look at me I've got an Audi" DRLs.

Someone at Bosch must be sitting in their office pissing their pants knowing that all these machines beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

My hobby shop, & their supplier, have run out of the glue I need to stick my remote controlled planes back together.

I am going to have to stop crashing them, if they don't get some stock in soon.

You can't be crashing them well enough if they can be glued back together.

(I gave up on the hobby a few years ago when the ratio of time spent gathering up wreckage to time spent airborne reached 4,263:1)

fking fed up with my local ASDA. i've been without sriracha for over 2 months! they have a barcode sticker on their bottles but their scanners do not recognize it. you can't scratch off the sticker without ruining the original barcode either! so annoying.
