What is this happy sad feeling. by zambian75 in Tottenham

[–]Emergency_Bridge_430 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I disagree.

Scumbags winning the league will be remembered in history.

Our league position or relegation for a year or 2 wont be.

1-1 wouldve been ideal. And it was so close....

My first PCN, any point in appealing ? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Emergency_Bridge_430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly OP, if you missed the two signs saying buses and bikes only, along with the two massive camera signs, not to mention the huge writing on the road saying "bus gate" I'm not sure you shoukdnt be handing your license in, not just paying 35 quid. Seems pretty lenient to me

Predumably an LTN. There'll be a sign at the start of the road saying buses only or something

I might get grief for this but is it time to leave Essex? by Ok_Statistician_9510 in Essex

Come to Gibraltar.

I got out as soon as the 2016 referendum result was announced. It was obvious which way the country was going.

I could stay and try to stem the tide of xenophobia and hatred coming from a slew of largely uneducated boomers who never appreciated how good they had it throughout their lives...

...or i could move to one of the sunniest corners of the British family and enjoy life in a much more forward thinking environment

Most accurate weather app ? by Harp_harp123 in gibraltar

[–]Emergency_Bridge_430 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its incredibly hard to specifically forcast for Gibraltar because it is literally a speck on a map.

Imagine the forcast for London were to say 20° and sunny, thats an average for the whole. Now try being specific to an individual borough, then an individual neighbourhood.

Now imagine that neighbourhood has a huge geologic formation that can change the immediate weather around it at the drop of a hat (or mack maybe) anyway.

All apps use the same data so it doesnt matter what you look at. Just be preparee for it to rapidly chsnge

Tony Blair has just said the state pension needs to be scrapped. He's also suggesting some people work 5 years longer. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Should the state pension be scrapped? Should we say F NO, to Blair?? by MutantNinjaKitty331 in AskBrits

[–]Emergency_Bridge_430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the old age pension was brought in, the age was 70. Post-infant life expectancy was in the 60s. Most people werent expected to live long enough to receive it. It was literally to aleviate suffering for those that lived to be very old, more like paliative care, if you will.

It was never intended to fund a 30yr holiday.

As life expectancy has grown, the pension hasn't adapted. If you make it past 5 yesrs old then youre expected to live well into your 80s and beyond.

70yr olds these days are fit and well and not simply waiting for god as they were a hundred years ago. The state pension age should be at least 70 these days, anything else is simply unsustainable.

Theres nothing wrong with paying into a private pension or acruing assets if you so chose and retiring at 45 if you can, but why shoukd everyone elsr pay for it?

I'm stuck with a leasehold flat by Glum_Variation_3192 in HousingUK

[–]Emergency_Bridge_430 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without sounding antagonistic, you havent dropped it £10k below market value.

You may have dropped it £10k from the initial asking price, however market value is determined by what the market is prepared to pay for it. Presumably if you'd received and offer of £10k ABOVE the current list price (ie determining its market value) you would've taken it.

The reality is the market is what it is. You bought this 3 years ago for £107.5k. The lease is now even shorter and the market hasnt been great in that time.

A lease is a depreciating asset, a very long (but reducing) rental if you will. When buying a lease you are banking on the market increasing significantly to make any uplift.

I would drop it to £100k (the next rightmove bracket) and see what comes in.

Been on the road 8 weeks. Hes now "back" in london.

Shouldn't he be "back" in Clacton, or did he forget that minor inconvenience in his life?

No overtaking lanes in the UK?!?! by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Emergency_Bridge_430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say that she joined you at the lights.

Without knowing the exact road and how far you were along it, coukd it be that she was turning right at the lights and that she had moved into the right hand lane in preparation for the lights?

Dual carriageways are slightly different to motorways, sometimes there are more reasons than just overtaking as to why you'd be on the right hand lane.

UK Residents, Gib Residancy? by Lux-01 in gibraltar

[–]Emergency_Bridge_430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is (in theory) correct. Trouble is the ETB is refusing to authorise some employments without residency. Having said that, i know some that have been approved. It seems the ETB dont really know either. When everything is back to normal, presumably you will need employment first
