A few of this week's top threads
Here's a bit of what caught our eye recently:
- To my despair, my kid wants a Man City ‘Haaland’ shirt for his birthday. Is there any way to get one for under £75?
- I have a private number plate and I keep being charged for other people’s ULEZ access
- After working from home since January 2021, my boss now wants me in the office – what are my rights?
- My gas meter is under water – should I be concerned?
Got any thoughts for this MSE Forumite who's been asked to stop working from home?
- The three huge Cox apples on my apple tree have vanished – which creature is the culprit?
- I’m thinking of hiring out my neglected car on Turo or Hiyacar – how will it affect my motor insurance?
- Help me decide if installing a diesel hob in my van for £1,000 would be a MoneySaving investment
- My loft is infested with woodworm and I’ve been quoted £903 +VAT to treat it. Is it something I can do myself instead?
- My carpet faded in the sun and the manufacturer’s replacing it for free. Where can I buy UV window tint to stop fading?

Money Moral Dilemma
Every week, the Money Tips email features a real-life Money Moral Dilemma (MMD for short). They're intended to encourage debate and, as such, they're usually among the most discussed threads each week.
Should I get a Disabled Person's Railcard when my condition doesn't really affect me?
I qualify for a Disabled Person's Railcard to get 1/3 off rail fares as I have epilepsy. Yet I've not had a fit for over a decade and it doesn't affect my life, apart from having to renew my driving licence every three years. I feel somehow I don't deserve the railcard because my ability to travel isn't affected, and I can afford full-price fares. Should I apply?
See what our MSE Forumites had to say and add your own thoughts on the Money Moral Dilemma discussion thread. Do please stick to the MSE Forum rules: keep it kind and keep it clean. Remember, there's a real person behind every dilemma.
