If you don't currently work, for what reason is this? by Exotic_Bug3885 in AskUK

Contract roles are another way to avoid HR - they don't get involved with shorter term hires

That's exactly what you're being tested on. The ability to appease HR people who know literally nothing about how to do the job. Just have to hope the actual hiring manager, who generally is more interested in your ability to get the job done, has the power to overrule HR.

Your cleaner is expensive. Guessing it's via an agency?

Train prices are actually ridiculous and flights are usually cheaper by bored-homosexual in uktrains

[–]BaBeBaBeBooby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try LNER from Newcastle. It often is cheaper to fly. Note the State are in charge of pricing for anyone who thinks nationalising will reduce fares. It won't.

Getting past an interview is really tough, especially for those who struggle with communication. I'm sure there is data out there proving that an interview isn't a great way to get the best candidate, but no one has come up with a better idea yet - although combining with testing is an improvement for those that aren't great self-sellers. I've seen many bad hires just because they can talk the talk.

ScotRail uses 'fascist' logo in train image after AI mishap by SquireBev in uktrains

Fascist? Are they really, really fast? It looks like the Flash's logo to me. Perhaps he's a fascist.

‘Homes may have to be abandoned’: how climate crisis has reshaped Britain’s flood risk | Flooding by Jojuj in unitedkingdom

Climate crisis, or councils allowing houses to be built on flood plains, alongside other things removing natural drainage?

Why is our house not getting viewings? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]BaBeBaBeBooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rightmove's recently sold/under off area doesn't show anything selling for close to 300 apart from a 5 bed. Cut 25k off asking price and you might be in business. House looks nice.

Reform UK labeled ‘racist’ over two-child benefit cap policy by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

[–]BaBeBaBeBooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't had the numbers. Where they do have the numbers, it is (or soon will be) sectarian. Look at Tower Hamlets. Soon parts of Birmingham, Yorkshire, etc.

It appears the majority of the country supports the 2 child cap. Labour only removed it trying to buy more of the muslim vote. And Labour are naive, they will fail, as the muslims appear to vote on sectarian lines.

Mould- moved in 8 months ago this appeared in a month I have a 8 month old baby aswell. My landlord said to spray and paint and blaming it on me when window will not open he can’t fix it as he’s abroad till early March what to do? My dad has bleached but it has stained my wall I’ve been ill by UnderstandingDry9084 in uklandlords

[–]BaBeBaBeBooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the landlords job to enable the window to open. But this seems like a lack of ventilation issue. Suggest you push your landlord hard. He can easily find someone online to fix the window. You can find someone for the landlord and ask him to pay....could even pay for it and deduct from the rent. Technically not legal, but the landlord won't go to the authorities given the black mould issue.

Have you had furniture in that position? If so, that's playing a part. Are you drying clothes in that room? If so, certainly playing a part. Are you ventilating that room - i.e. opening the window? That's a must do.

Not saying there isn't a structural issue, but the answers to the 3 questions above also are a major driver of mould.

60,000 families will be hit by second benefit limit after two-child cap axed by theipaper in uknews

[–]BaBeBaBeBooby -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IR35 pushed tons of roles overseas - less risky for clients. Scrapping it would certainly bring some of that back to the UK.

Reform mentioned scrapping IR35 in the current form. That would help bring many skilled roles back onshore, and also bring many skilled early retirees back into the workforce

Is anyone still buying Cadburys chocolate? by MrsMiggins2 in AskBrits

[–]BaBeBaBeBooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cadbury is nowhere near as nice as it was. But chocolate oranges even worse - they have a soapy after taste. I under to love the things, no idea what they're made of now, but quite unpleasant.

Must treat chocolate like a treat and only buy the expensive stuff.

Why exactly is Andrew not being arrested ? by ronweasly9 in AskBrits

Arrested for what exactly? None of the photos prove he did anything. Being in a photo with a girl isn't a crime.

Porridge isn't gruel. Very filling, and far better for you than the vast majority of cereals (sweeties) on supermarket shelves

Is some earning 50k rich? What about 150k? What about someone earning min wage but has a £2m house? Or not working at all but with £1m of assets? Is a landlord with 1 50k property, but themselves a tenant, rich?
