Any question answered...

I don't think you can demand one resolution over another, they don't have to replace it but they do need to give a refund if they're not replacing it

Worth noting they are entitled I think to give only a partial refund accounting for the use you've had out of it

Fair enough, thanks

If its broken and not fit for purpose then they refund the purchase cost, if bought in a sale it doesn't matter

That's my take on the consumer rights act.

The citizens advice have a helpful page on this...

Cheers. I'll check them out.

I've got 2.5hrs worth of pretty active calls from the morning to noon. Nothing especially sensitive, but a degree of privacy would be good.

But equally I'm hoping to be able to hop on a train in the early afternoon so don't really want to pay for space.

50km ride on tarmac, with no excessive braking.

..why not just take your phone with you?

I started clearing out my late father-in-law's garage last night (a massive task) and found a live .38 bullet. How should I dispose of it?

You need a hole punch, a hammer and a vice.

More seriously, I think most local police stations are able to dispose of live ammunition.

I did wonder if that works be the case. I'll wait to see if I find any more.

So far I have found the bullet, an air rifle and a high powered catapult.

Back in the day they used to take in all sorts of stuff like that. Main issue might be finding somewhere to take it - I’ve lived here over a decade but I don’t think I could tell you where there’s a walk-police station round here!

Pull the bullet out attach cryptic note to confuse your children in 30years.
Pour powder down toilet, throw case in bin.
You could drop it into a gun shop who will just do this, they might fire the empty case to get rid of the primer.
Don’t bother the police they won’t really thank you.

I doubt the street value of 38 is very high btw 9mm is

You could light the powder if you want some fun it will just go up with a flash

Do you mean pull the copper tip out?

Yes

Analog pedometer?

I am just going to step in and say I think @eskay should take the live .38 bullet to the police or a gun shop. For proper disposal.

No pulling copper tips, emptying/lighting the powder. FFS.

If I've missed the sarcasm, apologies. If I've assumed @eskay isn't smart enough to make the correct decision by themselves, apologies.

If this post stops @eskay from blowing his canister off, you're welcome.

I did spend a fair bit of time dismantling my dad's shotgun cartridges and setting the gunpowder on fire as a kid....!! It is fairly unspectacular to be honest. They were easy as you could just cut the plastic casing, discard the shot and set fire to the powder.

I didn't consider you could dismantle a bullet, but a quick Google backs up @Dibble 's suggestion. Whether or not I choose to do that is a different matter.

I’ve struggled to answer this, I grew up around firearms and am obviously more comfortable around them than most.
The skill involved in disassembling a round is minimal as are any risks involved.

I shouldn’t have said light the propellant for a laugh though it’s something I’ve done myself many times.

It just sounds like a huge recipe disaster, from my risk averse perspective!

Sorry I assumed you didn't know what you were doing.

For future reference. Is it a live round people put new bullets on fired cases. The primer on the right has a dent showing it’s been fired

Is it a normal bullet(the copper bit) if this is painted any funny colours it might be a tracer,explosive or incendiary round. If it is hand it in because it might contain phosphorus. If it’s explosive it’s “Section 5” you can only own it with the permission of The Home Secretary.
I have never heard of a .38 tracer.
