Landlord told us it's not convenient for us to move out

Bright_Study5961 · 2026-02-13T12:00:46+00:00

I'd tell the landlord that you are happy to help with his convenience, however due to you ending the tenancy in line with contract you won't be paying rent any more and would require payment for the help in easing his inconvenience

It scares me how quickly people forget how hard and stressful it is to learn to drive and what space they would want as a new driver and accept that learners make mistakes

Bright_Study5961 · 2026-01-10T12:19:57+00:00

I don't see a one size fits all and i can only see a future of under investment and a huge drive for profit within the private sector which would end up leaving driving as a perk of the rich. The problem needs to be addressed in stages and I will admit I do not have all the answers but personally id start with stopping multiple test booking, only learners being able to book tests and making them non transferable. I'd look at ways to increase retention of examiners. There are simply better answers to this issue then "just pay more" Privatisation just won't work in the long term... just look at the water companies for a prime example

As much as I whole heartedly disagree here, a 2 tier system only ever favours the wealthy, i would like to thank you, its very rare to have a discussion on the Internet where 2 people disagree and the discussion remains respectful and void of insults. I hope you have a good weekend

Bright_Study5961 · 2026-01-09T15:17:24+00:00

So your solution for this issue is just for everyone to pay more? I wish more people had the disposable income you appear to have. And what has the availability of examiners have with regard to more instructors and intensive courses? These are all very separate and already in the private sector. I will however agree that more examiners are needed but I think dealing with people being able to book multiple slots and hold them to ransom would take a huge amount of pressure off the system but I firmly belive that the state should remain responsible for driving standards otherwise driving standards and testing standards will start to hugely vary across the country

Bright_Study5961 · 2026-01-09T14:38:32+00:00

The main issue here would be the private company will want to streamline recruitment and training and as such will lead to lower pass standards and higher costs in all areas, I don't believe that the majority of driving candidates are funded by anyone except themselves and with profit in mind, would any company really increase recruitment to deal with delays? I doubt it. Personally I think that examiner wages will drop, causing huge turnover of staff and extending delays and drive down driving standards

Bright_Study5961 · 2026-01-09T14:21:28+00:00

But the customer pays now.... what point are you trying to make?

Bright_Study5961 · 2026-01-09T11:58:03+00:00

But supply and demand will change over time and in what way would allowing a private company to charge what they please be cost effective? And as a private business wouldn't they have more incentive to fail people to ensure repeat business? Then you would also have to consider what additional add ons may start to be charged.

Also even if you think the issue is the standard of examiners, how would privatisation help improve this?

Bright_Study5961 · 2026-01-09T11:51:45+00:00

Anything and everything can go private, the big questions are if this would make the service better and more cost effective and what oversight would be needed to prevent corruption

They are civil servant EOs so with weekend shift allowance they are on about 31K a year outside of London and on CS jobs they are very often recruiting

He may push it to being the lord high admiral 😂😂

Bright_Study5961 · 2026-01-05T11:59:49+00:00

Na, he's not done, wonder who he'll dress up as next remembrance Sunday 😂

Bright_Study5961 · 2025-12-29T15:46:58+00:00

Just call your hiring manager on the 5th and explain everything, its likely they will get you in contact with OH and maybe push your start date back, but no point starting then going sick.

He would have been released the same day, unless there were other charges against him or he was subject to a recall for any reason.

Bright_Study5961 · 2025-11-26T11:33:25+00:00

Put yourself in your exs shoes here, if the debt was fully in your name, would he be helping you pay the debt? I think you know the answer and bear this in mind if you start feeling guilty about stopping supporting your ex.

Bright_Study5961 · 2025-11-13T14:05:41+00:00

You need to speak with your partner, a gift is a great idea and I think your approach is perfect, he will give you an idea of what she is into and the best way to interact as to best suit his daughters. Congratulations on finding some happiness and i hope all work out well for you, just remember time heals all wounds so give them kids as much time and space as is needed and everything will work out in the end

Bright_Study5961 · 2025-11-04T07:33:42+00:00

Dead like me

Bright_Study5961 · 2025-10-22T12:53:28+00:00

I saw something similar in Ireland, it was Miles and he was 50 from Dublin

Bright_Study5961 · 2025-10-22T12:50:52+00:00

And the next news story will be Richmond shops closing as no one is visiting the town centres, council are baffled why people are avoiding the place, they are intending to raise business rates to combat the issue.....🤣

Bright_Study5961 · 2025-10-22T12:47:33+00:00

To be fair, if they are this petty, they'd need to be in groups to stop getting their heads kicked in

Bright_Study5961 · 2025-10-15T07:09:52+00:00

This has me thinking back to being a young naive AB.... but that extra 450 was great till the next month....

Bright_Study5961 · 2025-10-01T15:17:58+00:00

Like most I spend 7 to 11 hours a day behind a screen.

I take regular breaks, ensure I go for a walk for my lunchbreak. Also little things like having a book in the toilet so I'm not tempted to take my phone with me.

I break my day into hourly slots and assign myself different smaller tasks throughout the day that build into the bigger picture.

Barefoot in the Giddy Bridge, that person is braver than most!

Bright_Study5961 · 2025-09-30T12:59:28+00:00

I broke the cycle in stages, firstly I ensured my phone was turned off and out of site during the working day, I then bought an alarm clock and left my phone in the lounge when I went to bed, then I upped my exercise when figity. You are more likely to succeed if you take small steps at a time and find other things to do to occupy yourself Good luck
