      Can You Pass The Life In The UK Test?

      I always put the small change in first to reduce the amount of small change I end up with. So in your case I would get a fiver back as a note. What does annoy me is when a self-service till rejects the self-same small coins it gave me the previous time I used that till! :mad:

      Humax boxes do an overnight check for software updates etc and expect to be connected to the internet during that time. Of course, a lack of internet should not cause it to lock up but your use case does seem a tad unusual. Perhaps there is an outstanding update that needs applying to fix a...
