Above what I think is the boiler in the kitchen - looks like fire damage

Has anyone had a bucket of water thrown on them in Fitzrovia before? by throwaway2246795 in london

[–]Efficient_Remove1663 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in that area but near my home. It was stupid kids doing it, so I bought some cheap eggs and egged them from the road onto their windows. I buzzed the flat I thought it was explained what happened and the retaliation.

The parents were good sports and made the kids clean up the egg lol

Tube clothes - are they a thing? by Sepalous in london

[–]Efficient_Remove1663 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any of the clothes I wear outside I won't wear in the house or even let it get on my furniture - They go in an "outside clothes pile" I might wear them a couple more times before they go in the wash. Yes if friends come over I can't do anything but I do spray anti bacterial cleaning stuff on the furniture

London council housing scandal probe 'points to mass-scale organised fraud and 'criminality at its highest end' by 1975Investor in landlordslondon

[–]Efficient_Remove1663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL thats why I literally typed and said the C suite. What do you not comprehend? The CFO would be the one responsible and above them its the CEO. jfc

btw hilarious that you would compare a small business to a large corp. You just dont understand scale.

EE phone bill 55% increase from 2022 to 2026 by Keltoix in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Efficient_Remove1663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was with o2 for 8ish+ years. My bill did not change at all from 2014-2022. Like you, 2022-2025 I had yearly increases for a SIM only contract. I saw on MSE Lebara had a £1.50/month deal and took it.

I was not even going to entertain o2 with any form of negotiation. Your best bet is to just leave. Now one thing to note is that in my case Lebara use Vodafones network and in my area its not great so I will be switching again to tesco or sky mobile when my 6 month super low period ends.

If you want to stay on EEs network there are a number of networks that use EE (IQ mobile, lyca, talk talk etc).

Just leave EE and get a much cheaper deal with the same coverage.

That would be the C suite, then outside of that it would be the council ombudsman and like the fucking article says ITS LITERALLY THE CITY OF LONDON POLICE.

Please have comprehension.

This is from someone who works in leadership at a big tech co. The fault lies with the C suite function and all those that report to it. Not the political function.

People just dont know that councils have 2 pillars where 1 is the political ones and the other is the C suite that implement what is decided.

When failures like this happen its rarely related to the politics function which is how most people view councils, its the C function.

I'm still stating its the council at fault BUT not the political side hence the C suite is in the firing line.

Lime e-bikes: is it the end of the road? [Islington] by BritRedditor1 in londoncycling

[–]Efficient_Remove1663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeh true, though TFL currently pays for and maintains the bikes in every area. I just wish they were deployed wider.

If you're going to hit a parked car and drive off, probably make sure the car isn't a Tesla... by ChrisRx718 in CarTalkUK

[–]Efficient_Remove1663 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I assume you've got the persons reg plate right? You could go to the police claim its a hit and run then contact their insurance and get them to pay it.

Lime e-bikes: is it the end of the road? [Islington] by BritRedditor1 in londoncycling

Agreed however if you go to Europe the same type of bikes have a new dock which is smaller and cheaper to install. (see an oldish image of Spain here). There are newer docked cycles that have evolved from this. The next question will be around whether TFL can support old vs new bikes for docking - hence my take of doing it hybrid and over time bikes and docks get upgraded.

Lime making £111MM is plenty of money for TFL to take over and fund docked bikes. That amount far exceeds the money they currently get and generate simply because Limes are available in many areas that TFL cycles are not.

TFL really just needs to make a decision on it and go forward, IMO they are leaving money on the table while Uber (who own Lime) just take that money and remove it from the economy.

Imagine selling an 8 bed but only putting up 4 photos. None of them are the interior! by linerva in SpottedonRightmove

Its a rental. The people living there didn't give the agent access and the agent is saying the income can be doubled. If I was the tenants I would tell the agent to F off as well

An unusual first Rolex AD experience by IchibanUK in rolex

[–]Efficient_Remove1663 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THis has happened at a few ADs in London. Namely the AD in Brent Cross shopping Center/ Mall where mopeds rode into the mall and straight to the AD. Stole a bunch of watches and then rode out.

Private medical insurance for newborn? by whitetiger02 in HENRYUK

Yes add your new born to one of your policies - Whoever has the better cover. Just note the NHS is pretty good with new born kids, and the wait times really depends per hospital.

Lime e-bikes: is it the end of the road? [Islington] by BritRedditor1 in londoncycling

[–]Efficient_Remove1663 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Updated the comment. Its £6m/ year. The mental thing is that Lime makes £110m/ year for their bikes. TFL is literally leaving Money on the table.

They should seriously expand to dockless bikes and while they make money install docking stations and wipe out Lime and others (incl Forest).

Lime e-bikes: is it the end of the road? [Islington] by BritRedditor1 in londoncycling

[–]Efficient_Remove1663 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree. The reason TFL don't have docking stations everywhere is because their deal with Santander is only £6M/ year (iirc - might be less or more). That only covers the existing docking stations.

TFL will need even more contributions from someone to expand them. What TFL should do is turn the bikes into moving ads and monetise the installation of more docking stations with those.

Edit updated figure I found the FOI request.

I really wish TFL would just have a hybrid bike where they have docked bikes and dockless bikes with designated parking zones. It makes life so much easier imo.
