Viva Tea Party or Bust - September 2022

[Doohickey]

Shame. I had to use the missus account to get it through.

Which bank was that? I've tried Santander and Starling and neither work.

Take that back - Starling worked.

I will probably order one as I am doing a relatively fast route back with its fair share of toll roads.... not ideal but needs must I suppose!

 

[Ebenezer]

If your not, you will be lost mate

I will check when I do final routes. Spain possibly not but France and Italy I would say yes.

Clear as mud then!

Lloyds

You only pay when you use it so I've ordered one including Italy.

Social media selling sites often have Swiss Vignettes that have somehow failed to attach themselves to visitors windscreens and become available for about half price... I've just picked one up for £26, essential if you are planning on going north on the way home.

RADIOS; don't appear to have been mentioned to any trip virgins, essential to have one per car and check your battery life for any veterans. This model, available in other places too

I have a pair of Motorola TLKR T50 radios, which I'd be happy to lend to member(s) if they are suitable. Collect near Stroud, I suppose.

 

[Doohickey]

I've got a spare Mitel radio that someone can borrow.

Bloody ell. Anything else we need? This affects my return home. Here is the affected routes for people.

I bought these. They work fine with Mitek that the others have.

I have 3, Zep 2 and we need 1 so a few more to loan out

 

[tokyomb]

Lisa and I have two Mitel Extreme radios (though seem to have mislaid the chargers - so have had to buy new).

We're taking a bit of time getting back, visiting friends just outside Lausanne, wineries in the Jura, Burgundy and Alsace and then more friends just outside Heidelburg, on the way back to the UK. At least, that's the plan presently - but still got to book hotels for that bit of the trip.

Re: radios guys, may as well purchase one, which would you recommend/is compatible with those you already use? TIA

 

[midlifecrisis]

Happy to loan mine with charger too

See #311 if buying.

Motorway tags...

(Bip&Go) I have discovered that Coutts doesn't work - "Your bank is not accesible (sic) for SEPA direct debits."

Seems to be a Coutts problem as I have had a similar rejection from Ulys (Vinci) as well. Would be great to know which banks have worked for either of these providers.

So far I think I have seen Lloyd's and Starling have worked.

Yes, Lloyds went straight through no issues.

I've just had an email to say that my Starling DD has been rejected though it doesn't say who by. Will get onto Starling tomorrow and see if it was them. A bit of Googling suggests that no UK bank should be rejected since the UK is part of SEPA but will update here once I speak to the bank.

My tag turned up this morning but the email says it's suspended until I sort out the DD.

Eb said Barclays in another thread. He has just ordered his bip n go.
