Bozza posted:You forgot your road tax, insurance and the cost of running and purchasing the car in your calculation. If you're going to include the cost of an asset you already have, then you might as well include the fact that if you don't drive, and choose to live somewhere close enough to get to a train station, you will likely pay more rent. This is a flippant analogy (it does involve a car, after all), but in my area I could save about £100-200 a month on rent if I was happy to live somewhere nowhere near a train station. Which would cover the entire cost of a car, insurance, road tax, servicing, MOT. Plus I'd have a car. For me it's a £9 journey to work each day or £1-2 of petrol. Driving sucks though, I'd rather be lazy and get the train if it wasn't monumentally expensive (even if I got a weekly ticket costing £32).

I know sharing facebook posts is rather passé, but I found this very amusing: "Almost back in the civilization… Ugly and rude east midland makes London seems to be a fantastic destination!!! No wonder no significant Business there. East midland - what a waste of space!" Kablammo!

Vitamins posted:congrats! Cheers! I guess (other than lost interest) it's better to be underpaid than overpaid, I have to pay £400 tax I owe because my current employer messed up on some benefits. Good to know the taxman is on the case for avoidance, after all, if they go after someone like me then imagine the good things they must be doing against all the corporations avoiding all those billions.

lenoon posted:It's time to move to another country that's exactly the same as Britain but better, like Germany I also had the option of a job out in Iceland (and no not the supermarket), but prefer to stay in the UK for better or worse. If anyone thinks the UK is overpriced, try a few days in Iceland (at least it's definitely not a shithole, mind you).

I used Collect+ for two packages this month; they use Yodel too. One package got to its destination, the other didn't, so they sent it back to my house... and that's that?! So the seven quid I paid is just taken and gone and they expect me to pay again. I emailed to ask if they can perhaps offer me a discount for me to use them again but concepts like customer retention and goodwill (at Christmas!) are alien to Collect+ so I won't use them again and I encourage others not to, as well.

I do a job that actually has work at all times so it's pretty busy for me! I had my annual appraisal yesterday as well, got excellent ratings, best in the company nearly 100000 employees) for several competencies, goals 100% complete... but as I've given in my notice I will get no bonus and the company limits itself to one line for references so when my new employer contacts my current employer all they will be told is that I worked for the company across a certain period and my job title. Safe to say I'm glad to be leaving!

I was literally turning my work chair in that exact manner and speed after submitting this post, so I saw my actions in that gif while this page loaded, spoopy.britishbornandbread posted:Girlfriend takes SE train to London for work and sent me pic of empty carriage this morning #rip On the plus side I can leave at the same time I woulda left if I'd got into work on time so all the delay meant was I spent 20 minutes shitposting instead of working.

I've been looking at a house for sale recently, although it's actually literally a converted gaol. £400,000, 8 bedrooms, split into one main part with 5 bedrooms and three one-bedroom/studio flats that all currently have tenants. Put down a fair-sized deposit and the income from the three rented flats will cover mortgage payments. Probably not a great idea for a first-time buy, however.

learnincurve posted:lol unless every single one of those flats are up to our new landlord laws you will be eligible for a minimum of a £10k fine per flat, iirc its one year from purchase to make sure the electrics, windows, bathrooms, kitchens, boilers and heating are up to code. lol yes I would be VERY scared if I were a landlord and found to be letting out inappropriate housing, e.g. http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/23/landlord-charged-young-family-800-a-month-to-live-in-garage-5583246/ oh my look at that whopping fine and punishment to which the landlord in that case was subjected. Why, take this quote from the council spokesman: ‘I hope the strong action taken by Blaby District Council will deter other landlords from letting tenants live in poor conditions.’ STRONG ACTION, you hear? Strong. I am completely dissuaded, as are many landlords will have been, after reading that. In actuality I am going to remain a tenant paying someone else's mortgage for at least the next six months (after that I'll probably buy one of the very many new builds on a flood plain, sounds like a plan!) and laugh at the very idea that there are new rules for landlords that are actually going to be enforced that will discourage landlords from being shites. In fact now I'm re-reading your post I'm thinking you must have been being very subtly ironic, the bit about only having one year to flout the law with the safety of your tenants is what gave it away though, as if that's a scary concept for a landlord... nice try! [Also, super lol at the "Read more at the metro" text that was nearly added to my post after copying and pasting from their website. Again, nice try, Metro!!]

Pistol_Pete posted:"Turn the heating up, will you" My favourite with the in-laws at Christmas was being told to shut doors after I left rooms, and then having "You're shutting me in!" exclaimed at me when I did so. I'm sure there is a complex system that explains under what circumstances one is meant to shut or open a door but I can't be bothered to learn it.

feedmegin posted:Probably 'shut the door if there's noone in the room when you leave'? But that means to leave the door open when other people remain in the room... Are you mad? What if the heat gets out? What if they can hear the washing machine? What about if the smell of bread being toasted spreads throughout the house? I'd never be invited back.
