    Interesting. Thanks for the comparison. I have the same setup but on the standard £90 package and not completely satisfied either. The speed test results are hit and miss and unpredictable. Is there a reason why you omitted any cost comparisons? Surely that would also have helped? Thanks nonetheless.

      Hi DestinationDestiny, Thank you for watching and commenting. In regards to the cost I do briefly discuss them when comparing the result, however with the fact that prices changing all the time, I felt it would be better to leave price out, for example since filming this video the standard roaming price has gone up but the business packages have remained the same. To give you a point of reference as of today Standard Roaming (Caped at 50GB) is £50 p/m with Unlimited set at £96 p/m compared to the Commercial World Wide Roaming which we have (Caped at 50GB) which is currently £300 p/m from Freedomsat. If you are interested in switching to a Commercial plan please reach out to Freedomsat and tell them we sent you, they will be more than happy to help you out - www.freedomsat.co.uk/ I hope this has helped and please feel free to ask any other questions you may have, I'd be more than happy to answer them.

    Hi Matt, Just found your video. Many thanks for suggesting the Fire Safety Stick, great job in covering the key points. :) Just to clarify the point on leaving it in a fire. Firstly of course, if you can direct the spray from it to the small fire (before the fire becomes too established) and it is safe to do so, that will always be the best method. However, if the fire has got too big or it is in an awkward position to reach, then yes you can leave the activated stick in a confined space while you escape to safety. That confined space will then fill with the active vapour to repress the fire. And yes although in theory if left in a fire it would after a while self activate, by that stage the fire would be quite big (probably too big for the Fire Safety Stick). If the top protective cap was in place, then it would need to melt away to expose the black activating resin to ignite. Hope that all makes sense, but if any one has any other queries, please feel free to ask the question. Regards Andrew - Fire Safety Stick

      Hi Andrewgilbert, thank you for watching and posting your question, I can confirm it is still stuck in place and has not moved at all. In regards to the length it covers both sides of the door opening. in regards to going any further forward, i feel it would be hard because of the shape of the front of the van and it could cause an area where the it may peel more easily, with regards to extending backwards the reel is of cause long enough to do so, however i feel this offer little use as currently the water does not come in, for the most part it is for when you open and close the if it is raining more often than not we would close the door. One big thing it does do it stop that annoying spray coming at you when you close the slam the side door. I hope this helps.

    living in the back of the van I presumed you would install the opening into that back and not the front seat!!

      @@1WHATSUP1 thank you for watching and posting your question. The safe is designed to fit under the driver or passenger single seat, so if you had one of these in the rear of the van it should fit just the same. Best thing to do it you are interested in installing is speak with theft stop.

      It's because the Portsmouth Ghostbusters arranged an event within the comic con called "Mass Hysteria" because the date coincided with the first movie's 40 anniversary! Ghostbusters from all over came (I'm the Ghostbusters in the neon green baseball cap in this video!) I believe Andy and his Portsmouth Ghostbusters raised over £2000 for cancer research.

      Hi Mychills123. Thank you for watching and posting your question. Yes the unit has two sections the smaller of the two is a fridge section, it you like you can make the whole thing a fridge by just setting the temperature to that of a fridge

      @aylesburynumptydrivers9672 2 місяці тому

      Yes it works they have to have an entry and an exit. Just drive in don't pay. And when you leave you do a right by the cottage you'll see the exit camera. Just stop in the convenient wide bit and ensure the rear plate can't be seen. Drive out pull up once back on the main road and removed any accidental bits of newspaper that had got blown up and stuck to rear plate

    Britain is a rip off everywhere since covid times. Everyone/everywhere is charging far more than pre 2020 prices and we've just allowed this to happen. The people of Britain just lack a backbone nowadays.

    Stopped there a few years back while travelling around Britain. Carpark price was enough to shock me at the time, although parking all through Britian was an eye opener as we rarely have to pay for parking outside major cities. Yes defiently overpriced for what you see although nice to say you've been there I suppose.
