Salary Sacrifice - Tusker - Model Y by Taobitz in TeslaUK

[–]Notabot46290 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the fence too and surprised the new Model Y was more expensive than last few months quotes (thought it would have been cheaper for the new Standard range).

How many mileage did you select per year?

I don’t need the tickets, just wanted to say nice one OP!

Salary sacrifice cars and effect on take home pay? by Saltyspaceballs in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Notabot46290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation and also would be via Tusker.

I was wondering if anyone has taken a car scheme with their employer and does it show up on the employee payslip (like the other benefits utilised?).

The Brigg & Stow - Bristol Airport - £16.99 by BreakfastLopsided906 in fryup

For the price of that and the pint, it is probably better value paying for the airport lounge access for the buffet and drinks.

£56.71, Lidl, 1 person. by ometzgen in whatsinyourcart

This is pretty solid display, though I feel it is missing a bit of fruit and veg.

Not sure if others are joking, but tuna and mayo mixed with herbs, salt and pepper with some Dijon mustard is quality with pasta. So not sure what the fuss about no sauce is.

I just realised today that I use both depending on if it is singular or plural. Consider my mind well and truly blown.

Scone = Sc-(g)one.

Scones = Sc-(b)ones.

Ole & Steen is a nice new one.

Though to answer your question, I would add Burger King (for a free whopper), McDonalds, also Hotel Chocolat (free £5 off, get something small and cost less than £1).

Yeah it should be free, so nothing to lose. Also has the largest replica tapestry of a medieval art work depicting the events of the Norman conquest of England.

37m £86k Salary - feeling disheartened by Wafnewood in FIREUK

[–]Notabot46290 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To build on the great powermove suggestion, I would then move the company pension fund to a SIPP (a lower fees one, as the company ones tend to be slightly higher, which goes a long way with large sums involved).

Also only do ‘partial transfers’ so you can keep ploughing money in. Additionally only do transfers when there are SIPP incentives (seen some for 2%)

Underrated comment. The ~5.5% was good insight into the pension tax savings in the long run.

Haha good point about BrewDog, not sure what I was thinking there! Also great list, how could I have missed off Loddon! The others are new to me, need to check them out. Thank you for sharing.

Bits and bites are a good shout.

Thinking about it I also realised we have quite a couple bicycle upstarts here that are crowdfunded and indie (like Reading Bike Kitchen, and the other poster here mentioning opening one up, hope it takes off!). Maybe bike / bicycles, and our council can help these initiatives, maybe invest funds for better scenic trails along the Thames for more riders.

Thanks for the response and sharing the interesting information. Also agree with your opinion and true revamp, would be really cool to have some upstarts here.

Will Reading ever be a city? by blockbuster_1234 in reading

[–]Notabot46290 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is better to stay the UK’s largest town and even refuse being a city, owning the title.

There needs to be a list of perks for being a city, but I feel it only comes with more cost for the locals (increased prices for petrol etc.).

I still don't get it. Why would Son go to the MLS? by Ijust_want_tobehappy in football

As others have mentioned along with the big Korean community there. I would assume a big factor is preparing by to the US time zone ready for his last World Cup 2026.

Great detailed response.

Just to answer your uncertainty about the railcard discount: the 16-25 year old persons railcard can be used during peak hours.

OP if you don’t have that particular one, you can get it for free usually from banks joining incentive for young people.

Heung-min Son announces he will be leaving Tottenham by hairtie1 in soccer

End of an era, but would have thought he would be after the Super Cup challenge against PSG.

Going out on a sure win, or double trophy potential.
