there is a three year window to complain, from when the complainant ought to reasonably known they had cause
Complaining when the value has dropped by 90% when it had dropped 95% three and a half years ago means it's too late.

Some people just get all teary eyed about it xx

And delicious it is too.
Re the tyres, unless you want the hit of buying 4 at once think you'll be better just getting 2 new fronts and keep the winters on the back, accept they'll wear out quicker than normal though as they're softer compound.
Depends if car is front or rear drive and if you have a heavy right foot though.

Or just being irritatingly facetious
Lot of modern tyres are unidirectional so can only be swapped front/rear anyway on same side.
Advice I've seen is to put new pair on rear so any problems with the old ones result in understeer rather than oversteer, but for me on a front drive car I'd rather have the best tyres on the wheels doing 80+% of the work, ie the front.

Depends. Am having a bit of a shit time at work - am having to decide whether to get all zen about it, or look for something else.
Either way, I've used up my moaning credits.

did it get nicked and crashed by these people with stolen passports and were they terrorists?

or were they just petty thieves looking to get out and picked the wrong plane, as something, probably pilot error like the air france one, took them down with it?

EH?

This is genuinely a puzzle.
If a bomb had gone off it would explain the sudden loss of contact, but there would be surface debris scattered far and wide.

However, if there had been engine failure etc the crew would have had a chance to get a mayday out - but this didn't happen either.

I'm thinking aliens.
