I had the same problem with a Computer repair shop in King street. Took it there for a repair and was told it would be ready in a couple of days.
I went three or four times and after two weeks asked for it back.
Obviously trainees had been working on it as I could see where they had been Googling faults.
So, be careful where you take your computers now.I do all my own repairs and PC builds, however looks like this is one I can tell people to avoid :eek:

I need to correct my previous post above to say that “Inappropriate speeding is bad”
While all speeding is illegal and a great revenue generator for the UK, its the inappropriate speeding that causes problems, lets say a motorbike is travelling illegally at 80 mph on the A483, he is passing cars in lane one who are travelling at 60 to70 and are spaced every 500 meters apart. Except for catastrophic mechanical failure or medial issues such as a heart attack their is not a lot to go wrong.
On the other hand the same bike is filtering between two rows of cars on the same section of A483 (both lanes of cars 5 to 15mph), while filtering at 10 to 20mph should cause little issue if he was travelling well within the speed limit at 40 to 50mph this would be inappropriate and the chance of an incident is now very high.

If I ever go around a bend at 90mph I want to be driving a Red Bull. either that or a car that can brake from 90 to 20 in a split second while going around a bend without me ending up pinned to the windscreen.

While I agree with almost all that johnhoppy has said, it’s not all about speed. Yes if someone is traveling on a bend/curve at 90mph and a car has broken down he will hit it. However if someone is traveling on the same bend at 45mph and texting or adjusting the satnav they are still going to hit it, maybe at a harder impact than the person traveling at 90mph and breaking hard so reducing his impact speed to 20mph while the person texting hit’s it at 45mph as he did not even look up to see the car.

Sorry we are experiencing high service demand in this area
A mast close to your location is experiencing a high level of demand for service. This can cause intermittent service for calls, texts and data. We’re working to improve it as quickly as we can. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Sorry, we do not have coverage here.Personally I’d be happy if voice calls and text worked indoors throughout Rhostyllen.
The problem also, because its left to grow so long then the massive grass ‘clippings’ left to compost just leave huge mounds of rotting grass. So as well as it looking a mess with long grass it takes many weeks to look tidy again….. Even if they were to then cut it often, which of course they have no plans to do anyway!
