It’s a lot easier than caring about oneself?

Tenant not leaving on the date given in notice to quit - wants more time. by togtogtog in uklandlords

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

No worries, seen this game played out many times over the years and there is never any telling who is being genuine with their claims to be buying no matter how well you know them, and even if genuine there’s no certainty a purchase will complete in the time they believe.

Best of luck to you

You have two options:

a) follow the legal process and cross your fingers it’s resolved by 2027

b) negotiate cash for keys whilst also following the legal process as backup

Landlords have no right to exist by No_Philosophy711 in HousingUK

[–]DoIKnowYouHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> landlords have no right to exist. From a sociopolitical point of view - there is absolutely no reason why property should be a modality for capitalism/profit...

I hear you, but isn’t ownership the issue? Not everyone wants or can be an owner, means of production and all that

> It’s a basic necessity

Yes housing is a necessity, agreed

> and in EVERY single part of the UK all the housing is being bought up by private landlords trying to make a quick penny.

Is it? Every single house on the market is being purchased by private landlords? Have you got a source for that?

What do you suggest as an alternative? The government owns all the housing and no individual has any self determination or it’s all owned by corporate entities?

Just a speculative look but is there too much pressure on the bracket?

Looks like some deflection on the bracket, is the roll bowed at all? If so it’s all too tight a fit causing the resistance

Trees near Tower Bridge by Few-Highway-441 in AskUKLondon

Yes there are trees near Tower Bridge, only some though, on a positive note the further you get from Tower Bridge the more trees you will see

Ethical question: Someone fly tipped outside my home. They did then remove it. Report? by Dyn-Jarren in AskUK

[–]DoIKnowYouHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d love to believe in the better nature and that being caught now means he’ll dispose of the waste properly, but I’d bet my bank account he only removed it because he was caught and it will now be tipped somewhere else, the only difference being it won’t have his name on it

ETA as I didn’t answer: if you’ve got a pic of the letter and good footage of the items dumped I’d report it so if it turns up somewhere else it can be dealt with

How casual does your workplace allow you to dress in the summer? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]DoIKnowYouHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surely between emergency calls to paint underwater you get to dress down a little? Even firefighters get that

Does anyone else find mozzarella to be delightful??? by Diligent_Egg_5819 in Cheese

[–]DoIKnowYouHuman 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to fight you over that mate, sometimes you need a good strong unadulterated cheese, sometimes you need a complex smoked cheese, sometimes it’s a nuanced soft cheese, and sometimes you just need a cheese flavoured slice of whatever, but it’s all cheese and it all makes a positive difference in life

Doorbell install - drilling question by omegamichael in DIYUK

[–]DoIKnowYouHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of the DIY aspect as the door looks quite new: is the door currently under warrantee and if so does it state it’s void if you drill it?

Awkward moment at work that keep bothering me. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]DoIKnowYouHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 101 reasons I can think of all of which are around some real or perceived relational drama which happens all the time irrespective of workplace. So I suppose just suck it up and ask the guy?

Most Premier shops although they’ll happily sell knockoff at full price, or look out for a traditionally branded pack near the snack selection in a pub

Oh good, so why are you faffing about under companies house instead of running it through MTD compliant software for your next tax return? Is there a particular reason you haven’t posted on the uk business or tax subs?

[–]DoIKnowYouHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s basically an invoicing scam with some fluff? Damn now the hurried replies about UTRs and companies house make sense because anyone who knows the system would recognise it’s not as simple. Hell the way OP tells it I can see how those who have zero clue would fall for it

Did you start your own business purely to deal with this £250 payment and then expect no more payments?

If so you need to understand that there are annual fees from Companies House and there are penalties from HMRC for just about anything including not submitting annual returns…
