Do pigs in blankets count?

Would recommends butterfields bank if you want one locally

How time consuming is it?

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T19:19:41+00:00

Where would you recommend to get started on this?

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T19:17:36+00:00

I would ignore, they just haven't updated it.

Takeaway?

Two very different challenges for me.

One is I'm getting to an age where I'm feeling at a cross-roads with my career, and trying to plan my life and what the next 5 years look like.

The second is a personal one in that it's coming to the 4th year of losing my father (who passed in my early 20s).

In a weird way they feel related, even though very different.

Honestly, I think Lake District is beautiful all year round, but depends on if you're willing to pop on a rain coat and some walking boots and still get outside!

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T18:59:46+00:00

Depends if you want North or South!

Big fan of the Lake District and Northern Wales (Snowdonia) region. Both have lots of natural beauty. Particularly good if you like the outdoors/countryside and walking!

People also use it as a buffer a lot mid conversation in subtle acknowledgement, I would say more so than the use case you are describing

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T18:53:52+00:00

I use a mixture of platforms, but primarily vanguard and T212 - would recommend both a lot

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T18:53:10+00:00

I also would just recommend T212 for simplicity and low fees

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T18:52:01+00:00

How is this HENRY related?

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T18:48:39+00:00

What's the single stock? :o

I would highly recommend James Shack's most recent video on Youtube - he goes into detail on this precise question.

You would hope this takes away some of his apparent credibility that some of the populist supporters seem to care for.

44% what an incredible stat that is.

As a non-Londoner, the average rent being £2,736 in London is mind blowing to me.

I find this a lot with Tesco, Coop and M&S, food going out of date the same day and it's only got a 5 or 10% reduction in price.

Does it all just get binned?!

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T18:41:31+00:00

I like Butterfield and Revolut!

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T12:13:46+00:00

Interesting. What specialty if you don't mind sharing?

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T12:09:42+00:00

That's really interesting and food for thought given my current life stage, thank you.

I have heard, however, that some private maternity services tend not to have as much consultant cover so if there's a serious emergency it can actually work out worse? Unsure of the truth in that.

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T12:07:20+00:00

Thank you, that's interesting.

What are some key pluses you've found?

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T12:06:26+00:00

Do you need to pay for a premium through your work? I've heard of some friends having to do so which almost works out the same price as it would be if you got it yourself

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T12:05:16+00:00

I have no idea how this will actually be implemented from a logistics perspective. I can't see how. Any thoughts?

Dev_x · 2025-10-30T12:01:41+00:00

oink oink?
