The only concern I've seen is that you might have trouble selling it. But i was thinking I'll just give to missus or my dad said he will have it when he comes when I want a new car. Anyone had any experience of buying a cat s/n? For me it'd very much depend on finding out what was damaged, and the reputation of the company that repaired it, but typically I don't think it[s worth it. If it's a write off, it's either a really cheap car so you're not saving as much, or it's a decent car that took quite a considerable amount of damage. For either category, I'd want to get a trusted third party to do a thorough examination to make sure it's been repaired competently and it's roadworthy, but I'd be particularly wary of buying a car that had suffered from serious structural damage, which is the case for any Cat S.

Anyone had any experience of buying a cat s/n? What cat is it? S or N. Cat S is structural damage e.g. chasis so I wouldnt touch that with a bargepole,. Cat N is cosmetic damage, I'd have much less a problem with this If S/N means its both see my first reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted November 9, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2018 Yes Dem, it's repairable and can appear again on the road but I'm guessing you are not experienced in spotting a good chassis repair nor do you know who carried out the repair to get it on the road They can give you a lifetime guarantee, it's not much use if the car falls apart and kills you in the resulting accident. Honestly mate, it's not worth the risk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 9, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2018 Also @Demitri_Csome insurance companies will refuse to insure cat s/n cars, others may ask for a much higher premium You can get the RAC or similar to inspect it for about £100 but that's more money you've wasted if they turn round and give you a horror story of a report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've opened a store in central Manchester so I was there. It's a very cool little shop. It was the day Juve were at Old Trafford, so the place was packed. It's very much rails of product rather than being a boutique store experience but they'd got multiple sizes across the offering. It was also sorted into categories based on region, division, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 They relaxed the dress code in our office about a year ago and you can basically wear what you want now, within reason. In the last few weeks, one bloke has gone from wearing hoodies, t-shirts, jeans and trainers everyday to wearing smart shirts, bow-ties, waistcoats and suit jackets...with jeans and trainers. I'm not entirely sure why I'm posting this, I just feel it needs to be pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to focus less on being weird in lifts and more on having a word with this fella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I never knew that some people pronounce the word none as 'nun' rather than 'non'. They actually intentionally make a u sound rather than an o sound. I'm guessing it must be a North/South thing? I work in Oxfordshire and found myself outnumbered but after consulting anyone from Brum or above they say all say 'non'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in Oxfordshire and found myself outnumbered but after consulting anyone from Brum or above they say all say 'non'. I've brought this up before. Same with the word 'one'. My wife insists that it's pronounced 'wun', and says that I'm doing it all wrong rhyming it with 'gone'. Must be a Brummie thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted November 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hmmm I say both “non” and “nun” for none. Probably lean towards “nun”. One is definitely “won”. Won is definitely “wun”. When I first heard “Champagne Supernova” I found it bizarre that Mancunians (or at least the Gallaghers) would pronounce tear (as in teardrop) like you’d pronounce tear when describing a rip in a coat.

Never noticed that one. What about 'year'? I pronounce it 'yur'. But (certainly up here in Yorkshire) a lot of people seem to draw it out into two syllables, as 'yee-er'.
