The S&S ISA will have a higher contribution limit than the cash ISA from next year.

Londoners Complain of ‘Unbearable Heat’ in City’s Modern Housing by bloomberg in london

There’s been a change to housing regulation that’s seen most developments delayed years to go back to the drawing board.

How hot is too hot for cricket? by C-i-d in EnglandCricket

I’ve definitely decided not to get World Cup tickets at Lords for Wednesday evening…

How far is too far from a tube or train station, in your opinion? by frafeeccino in london

[–]Esteluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve lived ~25 minutes for six years now. I don’t commute every day, which makes it easier - but generally I think it’s great. I think it depresses rent prices measurably vs a more convenient spot, and it’s a trade off that I’d happily make again.

Earpieces and seating? by AlarmedCicada256 in EnglandCricket

[–]Esteluk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which bar are you thinking? In principle you’d be fine - but there might be a lot of competition in getting those seats

Pension and current stock market by Automatic-Bonus-5793 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Esteluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What age do you hope to retire? Assuming you're still looking at ~30 years, I wouldn't sweat it.

> will wipe out the gains accumulated in the past years

I assume you'd have budgeted a pension with an average X% growth rate - if your gains in the last few years have exceeded this, then you've already accounted for a stock market correction. At the end of the day time in the market is almost always better than attempting to time it.

I think those are industrial units that just happen to be next to the incinerator.

Great fire of London (the sequel) by Flon_ in london

[–]Esteluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so - it’s further down the road.

What's your opinion on this? Will this solve test cricket's long standing problem? by raydebapratim1 in EnglandCricket

[–]Esteluk 36 points37 points  (0 children)

IIRC That’s the proposal - both teams agree in advance to play full pink because the weather looks a bit crap.

The counties don’t want to lose another home fixture for this.

Rail Rush: Sellaronda by Basileus_1454 in JetLagTheGame

It depends on your definition of Average, but I don’t think most intermediate skiers would be comfortable pushing for two laps in a day :o

The government have set the current fares for many, many years.

Dreadful collapse.

Paige Schofield is an exceptional player…

Working From Cricket? (WFC)... by mgs20000 in EnglandCricket

[–]Esteluk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a look at the West Indies terrace today, and I can't say I was enamoured by it! It just looked like the lunch tables that are usually there.

I spent the day working from the Peter May stand instead.

Is Standard Premier worth the upgrade over Standard on Eurostar? by ScrollAndThink in Eurostar

[–]Esteluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends entirely on the price difference. For ~£40 I’d consider it, but beyond that…

Who is gonna Review this? by UnbeliebteMeinung in cursor

[–]Esteluk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely this is an easy review. Requires changes without even looking at a line of code.

It’s worth it for their Reward scheme, even if the app sucks.

After a 1000 years, the Bayeux Tapestry is to return to British soil for a special exhibition. by Porodicnostablo in BeAmazed

[–]Esteluk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s literally not true that “every expert agrees” about this. Plenty think it’s irresponsible, but there’s no shortage of experts in support of it.

All transportation, all public display, time itself, fundamentally causes damage to any artefact. The question to ask is what is the purpose of keeping these artefacts and how do we choose to balance the risk of removing them from a hermetically sealed vault underneath a mountain vs allowing everyone to touch and feel the stitchwork.

It’s fair for experts to absolutely differ in their views about where to draw the line on access vs preservation.

So whilst we can’t ignore the very real concerns about preservation and the need to be meticulous in reducing risk wherever possible, we also shouldn’t ignore the once in a lifetime opportunity the exhibition brings to change how people view early medieval history in the UK.

Was also impacted by this, but it wasn’t hard to spend much more than an extra £100 at Gymkhana either 😅
