Have they done away with Peak Save?

As per the title, not so many months ago you could add Peak Save to any tariff.

I had it on a fixed tariff for ages, but then went to a Super Sunday tariff for the extra hours.

I'm now on the Samsung Weekend tariff which is half price 1100-1600 every Saturday and Sunday.

My sister has just moved over from Octopus and I told her she would get Peak Save on a Sunday from 1100-1600 but there's nothing in her account about it...

I assume they've quietly removed it for everybody and you now need to be on a specific "Peak Save" tariff?!

Alexa+ is garbage.

Told Alexa to upgrade for free early access today.

The main thing I use it for is listening to Rock FM from Spain via the MyTuner Radio skill.

"Normal" Alexa I could say, in Spanish, "Open MyTuner Radio and play Rock FM."

Alexa+ can't do it. You have to open the MyTuner Radio skill then ask it to play the station.

It can't even speak Spanish in the UK, only English.

I'll be going back to old faithful! 😂

Do Sky sales people hang around in here?

I received an E-Mail from Sky offering the Ultimate TV with all the bells and whistles for £20 a month if I come back.

Called the number in the E-Mail, wholly willing to take the deal and an extra puck with whole home.

The guy on the phone immediately said "Broadband".

I said "I don't want broadband. I'm calling regarding this E-Mail".

"Yes, but how long do you have on your broadband. We'll pay £200 exit fees, and what about broadband? Broadband! Do you know we do broadband?!"

"Sorry, I don't want broadband. I want TV. I want the offer you sent me."

"I can certainly help you with that, but what broadband do you have?

"You know what buddy. Forget it. I'm not interested."

I hung up...

He then immediately called me back, and again I said "I wanted TV. You wanted to sell me broadband. I don't want anything now..." and hung up again...

So, if there's anyone in the sales team on here who know the offer I'm talking about and would like a guaranteed sale, please message me and you'll get one! Just dont mention broadband. I've got it already and I'm not changing it! 😂

Got my VMN95SP stylus...

You may remember I posted a few weeks ago asking how to wash a pile of Shellac records belonging to my great gran that I had recently discovered...

I was going to do all sorts of washing the records, making a cable to sum it to mono...

I decided to just change the stylus and go for it...

Wow...

Can I wash shellac records?

Hello,

I was clearing out the loft and found a pile of my great grans records. They were just lying like that up the loft, for at least the last 20 years...

I've ordered sleeves for them, just wondering if I can wash these in my Spincare record cleaner the same as I do with my vinyl?

Just need to get the VMN95SP stylus and see how they sound...

I know that Marearock bar cannot and never will be replaced, where is everyone going now?

Captain Fantastic Vinyl

This may be a silly question, but I was looking to buy the Captain Fantastic album on vinyl. Looking on the HMV UK website, track two is listed as "Tower of Babel (Story).

Anyone any idea of this is just the normal song?

Unfortunately the website doesn't show the actual back cover so no idea if this is some strange new iteration of the track which certainly wasn't on my original copy, or just a mistake by HMV...

Thanks!
