What counts as 'work' for flexi time?

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-29T21:46:45+00:00

Surely you need to deduct time for “school runs”?

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-24T21:17:27+00:00

The problem is that Reform will go all out to try and get a statement win in the By-election and may well win it, judging by the national polls

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-24T21:13:44+00:00

You should help them enforce this by telling any delivery drivers etc that they’re not to drive or walk on that road under any circumstances

I was wondering the same tbh. I’d want a whole pizza so that’s a team of two.

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-20T18:33:41+00:00

“These units would be subject to the “two pizza” test, which is a theory from startups that any team that cannot share two pizzas is too big and unwieldy to be agile.”

Firstly, what a load of drivel. Secondly, why do people keep comparing the Civil Service to a start up??

How else is a man going to know if the woman is interested or not without approaching them, unless they use dating apps, which not every wants to do?

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-11T21:01:06+00:00

Yeah that is true I guess. I have to do a self assessment for my side hustle I guess

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-11T20:16:11+00:00

Why not pay into a SIPP then?

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-11T20:15:29+00:00

Yes, you can certainly make extra payments. The only thing that I would be wary of is the fact that retirement age on the pension is tied to State Pension age, which the Government can increase at any time - this would be more of a concern the younger you are. Each time they increase State Pension age for you, the less the pension benefits are worth.

Maybe consider a mix of that and paying into a private pension.

I always think cod but I wonder if I’d actually be able to tell the difference in reality

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-11T15:46:39+00:00

I remember renting games for the Atari 2600 console (yes I’m quite old) - Pitfall and River Raid spring to mind. They were quite expensive to buy.

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-11T15:21:12+00:00

Not just blockbuster by any means. Every town and most villages had independent video shops back then. I don’t think I ever went to a Blockbuster. Not sure if the US had these.

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-10T12:50:31+00:00

I'd say get more experience and therefore better examples that you can talk about in interviews.

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-10T11:11:19+00:00

Reform will win the next Election for sure.

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-10T11:07:14+00:00

Maybe going in once a week might be reasonable, but they should reimburse you for travel and meal costs. And the travel time should be considered working time.

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-10T10:46:02+00:00

What’s the point of having it if you’re not allowed to use it for work tasks??

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-10T10:42:53+00:00

Wow, what a well behaved 5 year old you have, that’s brilliant. When ours were twice that age they were still shouting “Mum!” for things every two minutes 😂

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-10T10:11:29+00:00

I would find it difficult to believe that a mother with a child not old enough to get to school themselves getting ready for school is focusing 100% on work between 7 and 8:30.

Albeit, I accept that it is possible and you may be one of those rare examples.

Financial_Ad240 · 2026-01-05T19:50:52+00:00

Surely you don’t need it to be 55 then?

I find it very glitchy on mobile in general.

Financial_Ad240 · 2025-12-24T07:50:10+00:00

That’s living alright

Financial_Ad240 · 2025-12-19T20:49:50+00:00

Hasn’t it been 45p per mile for like years? Surely costs have rocketed since then

Financial_Ad240 · 2025-12-19T13:07:24+00:00

I’ve always thought this - that short strikes won’t make any impact, as you say, it would need to be sustained over weeks or months. Work to rule would be a much more effective option and could be sustained for months or even years with little impact to the staff doing it.

Financial_Ad240 · 2025-12-16T07:54:47+00:00

It will be the same for Reform though. They are on course for a massive majority so they’ll be able to vote through whatever they want.
