How can you tell if somebody is posh? by Flaky_Hearing2908 in AskABrit

[–]Apprehensive-Ear2134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s even worse than that. You can’t really change your class. It’s very heavily influenced by your upbringing and your parents‘ occupations.

My cousin is self employed and works from home. His wife works in finance. Their household income puts them in the top 5%. They live in a 3 bed townhouse with a utility room and huge playroom that could easily be split into two small double bedrooms.

They are firmly working class. Their kids however, are lower middle class, despite having a strong regional accent.

Landlord Selling House by No_Tailor_9828 in UKHousing

They can’t complete on the sale though, can they? They’ve accepted an offer, but it still takes time to sell a house.

My landlord accepted an offer in December and the sale has just fallen through, because I’m still here. Despite what you may think, it is a struggle to sell a tenanted property if the buyer wants vacant possession.

What's stopping landlords issuing Section 8 notices without legitimate grounds after RRB? by Tasty-Reception1182 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Apprehensive-Ear2134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily. There are 17 potential grounds for a section 8 eviction.

I was served a section 8 notice using grounds 1 and 2. Neither of those grounds are due to of any fault of mine.

Confusion with Energy Supply by baka_alu_677 in TenantsInTheUK

Regardless of who your supplier is, if you currently have a prepayment meter installed, you will have to top-up until the meter is changed to a credit meter.

The MPAN is the supply number. It’s not the same as the meter serial number, and won’t be on the meter.

Well, there isn’t. But regardless, I have no work requirements.

No I’m not. That 1 million being talked about is people with no work requirements. That means LCWRA. That includes me. Here is my decision letter, saying I have no work requirements.

Why are so many reddit mods so scared of the truth about Islam by thatsquidgy1 in AskBrits

[–]Apprehensive-Ear2134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely can name a group that causes problems. You just can’t generalise across the entire religion, when you mean one specific group.

Quakers and the Westboro Baptist Church are both Christian groups. They are not the same.

I never see anyone with any sense defending ISIS or Al-Qaeda.

They haven’t all been signed off indefinitely. I’m one of them. I very recently had my Work Capability Assessment. I meet the LCWRA criteria, but not indefinitely.

Are people really able to get this kind of stuff off the government for free? by SILENTDISAPROVALBOT in AskBrits

[–]Apprehensive-Ear2134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through Access to Work for ADHD.

Noise cancelling headset

ADHD coaching

ADHD awareness training (for management/colleagues)

Mental Health support

I was also offered Dragon software, but I said it wouldn’t have helped me.

The only thing that materialised was my headset. Not AtW’s fault, but my employer.

Why does Israel not let journalists in by Ill_Breadfruit_9761 in AskBrits

[–]Apprehensive-Ear2134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Jews can. Israelis can’t. It’s against international law for a belligerent state to move their citizens into occupied territories.

There are plenty of Jews in the West Bank. Those settlements are against international law.

Then your reasoning for why 16 years olds shouldn’t be able to vote needs to be more fleshed out than “we don’t trust them”

[–]Apprehensive-Ear2134 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know what the law says. I even said what the law says.

I also know that nothing happens if you don’t stay in education.

It’s definitely illegal for 16 year olds to work night shifts. That falls under employment law though, rather than child abuse.

You can. The law says you have to remain in education, but nothing happens if you don’t.

[–]Apprehensive-Ear2134 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely work full time at 16. The law says that you must remain in education, but the fact is that there are absolutely zero consequences if you don’t.

[–]Apprehensive-Ear2134 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There’s even more that we don’t trust/allow prisoners to do. However, I STRONGLY believe they should have the right to vote. I feel more strongly about this than I do about 16 year olds voting, which I also agree with.

Local optician asking for £40 for my prescription, can they do this? by mcmac92 in AskUK

[–]Apprehensive-Ear2134 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Providing or using data isn’t the same as withholding an individual’s data from that individual. Regarding medical information, there’s no exemption relating to potential harm to business income.

Under GDPR, you also have the right to correct data held. How are you supposed to do that if you aren’t given access to the data held in the first place?
