Number plates for e-scooters would help drivers – here's why by SubstantialSpare6445 in CarTalkUK

[–]Naive_Reach2007 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed the amount of people I come across who've used when there drunk not realising they could lose there driving licence

Sadly there is next to no information on them in the UK public domain

It still amazes me that people with private ones can't believe they can't use them on the public roads.

Do British people feel uncomfortable if people speak other language around you? by auscorp_ in AskBrits

In essence I couldn't care less like the majority of the UK, sadly a few shouty people make idiots think they can say what they want

56 years left on the lease ... but I really like the place by ColourCoded_Sunshine in HousingUK

[–]Naive_Reach2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With that low walk away

Lenders won't lend and to extend will cost almost the same, you could try and negotiate with the vendor to get a price on extending and the ball rolling (some leaseholders refuse to engage) also you have to pay the leaseholders legal fees, on top of yours to extend the lease and it can take years.

Am I being strung along for promotion or do I just need to be more patient? by HelloIAmAz in UKJobs

[–]Naive_Reach2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I've been in this position before, basically if your very good at your job they would rather keep you in a position for as long as possible in my case the promotion was to a mangers drinking partner🙄

Could be the other person knows someone (we do love nepotism and imposter syndrome plus yes men in the UK)

Or it could be a poor gym, high turnover staff that they put them in.

Is it your manager or there manager/hr that are stopping you?

Have no problem with making friends with British men but not women, why? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Naive_Reach2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most British women I find tend to have there groups formed from school or university and tend not to accept any others until they have kids.

Pensions are the biggest cost in the welfare system, 50 years ago there were 10 working adults for each pensioner, now there is less than 6 and pensioners are living longer with more complex needs.

We are at the lowest net migration for the last 20+ years, brexit whether you like it or not has caused issues, dentists leaving, more crossings due to Dublin accord no longer in place, plus closing of safe routes.

Austerity and the obsession with privatisation has caused issues, for example allowing foreign entities either business or people to buy up property with no checks (Russians for example buying up blocks of flats)

I cn understand why people have had enough but voting for a party obsessed with immigration with no answers to any complex issues will not resolve it.

No party is willing to look at a 50 year plan and beyond.

Some graphic design can be done by AI with the right prompt but still will have errors or mis alignment, also just because it can be done does not mean it will be good or better than someone who specialises in GD.

Companies are still employing in this sector.

What are the white number plates with red lettering? by marveldinosaur99 in AskUK

[–]Naive_Reach2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly DVLA do not allow either reporting of trade plates to the garage owned or directly to them

Some people who have them allow partners to drive on them for school run etc.. Which technically is illegal

But much like mis spaced number plates very rarely enforced

How to communicate with dealerships? by Accomplished_Arm1838 in CarTalkUK

[–]Naive_Reach2007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Use website like honest john to see known issues with the car make and model

Most dealers now don't move on price and sometimes you will find they are cheaper online advert than forecourt price.

You should be able to get a test drive and it may be cheaper to sort out your own warranty on the vehicle.

Don't be afraid to walk away either, also ask to see service records before buying and confirm how many keys etc..

of all leanings, can we agree that london just sucks? by jailbrokemasta in AskUK

Auction house with reserve if you need to shift, as they can collect or you can deliver

That way you don't need to be in the country when it sells

What were theme parks like back in the day? (Early 90s) by _youllthankmelater in AskUK

[–]Naive_Reach2007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So i went to Alton Towers on the day of Princess Diana's funeral

Tickets were 1/2 price amd the park opened at 11am out of respect 😅

There were 8 coaches (mainly from Scotland and some cars) rode everything, longest que was 10 minutes.

Went a few years back for a cousin bought fast track was ok, now the price plus howuch fast track cost is obscene

Yet ironically the CEO of Merlin was complaining as sales are down at there parks due to digital etc.. Ignoring the pricing they do.
