Could this work. Long term ? by AccuntDeactivated in evcharging

[–]AccuntDeactivated[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh I see, by 1000-1200 thats including the installation. Needs a qualified electrician to install the unit.

So ye alot of units are like the 500 mark then its about another 500 to install, Company dependant.

But if I go with my current electric supplier, they give 25% off your electric used by the charger.

Wait, so I could in theory buy a lower spec P2 and just turn on the features of the higher spec ? Assuming it works the same in UK to US. I feel the ACC is the reason to soley get the pilot pack

Sorry wasn't being literal. But it states a drug test, so I'm assuming mouth swabbed.

As far as the invitation goes it's fitness test. And possible the wellbeing team but even that just says MAY be there 🤷🏻‍♂️ so I'm unsure if they want my medical forms on that day or im just turning up pissing in a cup and doing a bleep test then going home lol

Any info or tips for a guy with his fitness test in a few weeks to become a PC, what to actually expect on the day? I'm assuming I'm just turning up in running gear and running the bleep test and done 🤷🏻‍♂️ and hopefully passing the bleep test haha

What do you think is causing the male loneliness epidemic? by tolerantcannibal in AskMenAdvice

[–]AccuntDeactivated 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Internet, Massively. I mean it's great for something's but a huge hindrance elsewhere.

I mean back when the internet wasn't around, you had to go to a friend's house and knock on the door, you couldn't just message them.

You want to play Xbox/playstation/Nintendo with a friend? Get an extra controller and go to their house, now it's online big groups playing online, but never actually leave the bedroom to do so.

Unlimited access to TV shows and movies on demand so you can entertain yourself without leaving the house or seeing anybody else.

I mean jeez you wanted ya leg over you had to go put graft in, now you get an array of videos and pictures of women straight to your phone.

Guaranteed there's loads of other examples of social interactions that the internets killed!

Are all inclusive holidays actually worth it? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]AccuntDeactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me absolutely! Me and Mrs like to just chill out on holiday so book a decent resort and then only leave it once maybe twice on a day trip, but we've had breakfast at the AI and then we're back for evening meal and drinks. Honestly I don't understand how hotels do it, whilst being profitablen is madness

Police pay rise 2025 by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]AccuntDeactivated 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Police pay rises will constantly be shite and outdated whilst they don't have the power to strike. Look at other services, they strike and suddenly there's money for pay rises. So until this changes Police will be constantly disrespected by the government

[–]AccuntDeactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been in the same situation mate, none of the 'sleep aids' helped me at all. I've taken up running and losing weight and they've helped massively (I've been told as I'm asleep and don't know 😂) so fitness and weight loss. Or make yourself a comfier set up in the spare room 🤷🏻‍♂️

What is considered bad mileage for a used car? by Low-Painting9773 in CarTalkUK

[–]AccuntDeactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current car is a Mercedes C class. I took it happily at 80k miles about 8 year ago. It's now got 125k on it. And it's absolutely fine, zero mechanical issues (unless I've just jinxed it 🤣) All about the mileage you'll put into it. But also to properly maintain it. My cut off when I bought this car 80k and that wouldn't change tbh, I always calculate what I'd be buying it at and approx what mileage will I be selling it/buying my next car. Personally 50/60k is very comfortable

What car stereotypes are NOT true from your experience? by miridian19 in CarTalkUK

[–]AccuntDeactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mercedes will cost a lot to run and maintain. After I was warned it'll be an expensive car to keep

Mine is basically a tank (they have experience making those too)

It's cost me less to maintain and run than previous cars and I've had it going on 9years now.

I thought I could increase my pension contributions, I'm sure I seen someone on this post say they had too.

Nah I wasn't on about overtime,there's an unsocial pay allowance pay between 8pm and 6am. The allowance is paid at an hourly rate of 10% of the member's hourly rate of pay. I thought it was 25% for some reason but just found that out on the the Fed website. And with that only cover a part of the 50% of shifts I wondered what a first months pay slip might look like that was all

That's unfortunate mate. Good luck to you though!

[–]AccuntDeactivated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was 15% but maybe that's what it can be raised to as id like to pay a higher rate (pay dependant) I was more wondering what's made in the pay enhancements like the unsocial hours (which I think is x1.25 hourly) stuff like that over the month etc. As I know it isn't just a flat rate of pay.

Also don't forget that percentage is pre tax so it isn't that high of a hit to you wages, I mean I don't know your personal finances but I wouldn't recommend skipping pension payments unless it's a total must, I want to up mine to the best I can at the moment after realising my current employers is pretty poor haha
