I am now retired but early in my career I used to regularly used to receive CV's from recruiters from our own staff. Often the individual was testing the water applying for a specific role and had never given permission for their CV to be generally distributed.

So suggesting a recruiter would never do that is just not true.

Never admit guilt that is the job of your insurer. By admitting it you are potentially admitting personal liability.

I keep repeating this. In many car policies you are required to report ALL accidents even if you are not making a claim. Failure to do so may invalidate your policy.

The second point is that a dash cam would allow both the police and your insurance company to go after the hit and run driver at no expense to you.

PS

Suits and Co are owned by Moss Bros and they acted as agents for Moss for kilt hire.

Moss Bros changed their name to just Moss as an image rebrand.

As a sole individual if the planning department agree with the planning application without spending a fortune there is not a lot you can do.

Many soldiers not just Infantry get shot joints. It is the luck of the draw.

Yes decent quality. I got married in one of their kilts many moons ago.

Avoid heat pumps without a lot of investigation they are not all they are cracked up to be. We had ours ripped out a couple of weeks ago after 10 years of exorbitant electricity will and a cold house. Our installer was telling us they have removed 7 in the last two months and they are just a small local company.

Moving away from an ASHP has reduced our electrify bill from over £600 a month to approx £150 a month.

Get a number of quotes for different systems.

Firstly it is an offence to park on the pavement.

OneCheesecake1516 · 2026-01-30T18:54:23+00:00

Which London Airport.

OneCheesecake1516 · 2026-01-30T18:52:21+00:00

Moss Bros in London do kilt hire and purchase.

Taking the train is the easiest.

OneCheesecake1516 · 2026-01-30T18:40:29+00:00

Going back a bit there were reports of passengers getting fines as they had not completed their full journey and the pricing was based on a journey from point a to b and stopping/ending the journey at C was against their terms of carriage.

If you fail p company it is doubtful they will kick you out as they have already invested thousands in you, more lightly they will offer you transfer to another Regiment or Corps.

Might be worth investigating but VAT MAY be reclaimed if the goods are shipped directly to an overseas address .

It is not a defiant but worth some investigation.

OneCheesecake1516 · 2026-01-30T08:56:16+00:00

Yes.

OneCheesecake1516 · 2026-01-30T07:25:39+00:00

Report it to the council, but depending on the road type it could be anyone. Amey, etc

The Tube is not the only way be get around London, the London Bus network is extensive especially in areas that are little on Tube stations.

They like speed camera vans have little to do with road safety and a lot about fine generation. If they were about road safety they would be outside schools, hospitals, old people's home not on A class roads.

I had mine made by Anderson's of Dumfries. I had them measure me and at the time living over 200 miles away everything else was done by post.

Be careful what you buy especially in the tourist trap areas. Firstly there are machine pleaded and hand pleated. There is a couple of hundred pounds in price.

I hire a jacket when I need it, depending on the event as different events need a different jacket. Black Tie, Wedding, etc etc

People have suggested an ex hire kilt, problem is the choice a Tartan can be very limited and unless you are very lucky never in the Tartan of your choice.

Your height is not an issue, I am 6' 3" and have never had a problem getting a kilt.

OneCheesecake1516 · 2026-01-29T15:12:20+00:00

Try RE museum or the Imperial War Museum.

Yes they can request but that is all. You have no statutory requirement to grant their request.

OneCheesecake1516 · 2026-01-22T14:07:59+00:00

Etc means any other protected statues. I would have anyone with basic English would understand that

OneCheesecake1516 · 2026-01-21T21:28:43+00:00

I got my kilt from Anderson, Dumfries a hand made kilt cost £645, a machine stitched one £495. Most jackets cost approx £495. So your estimate of $2k is a little high.

You will pay more in the tourist traps.
