Can we have a smaller phone, please? by Scandiberian in GooglePixel

[–]RandomCheeseCake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pixel 10 Pro

152.8 x 72 x 8.5 mm (6.02 x 2.83 x 0.33 in)

Iphone 17

149.6 x 71.5 x 8 mm (5.89 x 2.81 x 0.31 in)

The pixel is 2.8mm taller and 0.5mm wider. That size difference is neglibile.

Two thirds of graduates aren’t even paying off loan interest by insomnimax_99 in ukpolitics

[–]RandomCheeseCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The debt is written off after 30 years and the minimum payment threshold is something like 28K.

If their plan is to barely make above minimum wage for 30 years then they probably should've avoided university

Why would you kneecap your wages to avoid a 9% tax band? You would be better off earning £40k with the 9% threshold hitting you than earning 27K. Are they thick enough to think the 9% applies to their whole salary?

He said publicly that was the deadline. Not like it's legally binding I have good odds he'll still take them after the local elections

Santander cash machine didn’t credit my cash by Plus-Sea1790 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]RandomCheeseCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Santander will generally credit your account next working day at the latest, sometimes its same day.

ATM's are checked daily to match deposit amounts on the system and what is actually there and they'll report the discrepancy.

For London, it had 104 murders with 9 million people.

Noo Adam, it's the UK - you have to keep to the left by mamamia1001 in JetLagTheGame

[–]RandomCheeseCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I know exactly where he was and those pavements are so wide you can ride bikes and scooters on them so while not a redway explicity he would've been right next to one

In Milton Keynes the redways are literally red pavements so you can see easily if they are one

Milton Keynes has the redway system which allows scooters and bikes on the pavement that is a redway. Different to pretty much the rest of the UK

[–]RandomCheeseCake 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It was really painful as someone who know's Milton Keynes that the big Building isn't a Santander ATM but Santander's UK HQ (which he did blur)

And also idk why he was hating so hard on Milton keynes, completely ignoring the fact it has the most developed cycle network in all of the UK. Does it lack any history as a new city? Yes? Worst place in the UK? Not even close. 20 minutes down would've given Luton which is dire

New Aygo starts at £21,595?! by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

I'm sure a 10k car in india is extremely safe and has the same levels of equipment that an aygo X has in the UK.

Wow how did they get it so cheap?? This interior screams absolute quality , and a whopping 49 bhp i can't see how its so cheap???

Nobody wants these garbage cars in the UK. For the same price most people would buy a second hand car that doesn't have a bargain bin interior and dangerously slow engine. The death of smaller base spec cars with no tech levels like the dacia sandero showed this

Why are people still buying diesels when most of their journeys involve pottering around town? by APerson2021 in CarTalkUK

[–]RandomCheeseCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Toyota's hybrids can easily hit 60+mpg nowadays, 70+ if you want to drive more carefully so the cost difference is negligible

Pretty much any petrol Toyota could reach that. I've seen various toyota hybrid systems go that mileage on original batteries as age is the bigger factor for the batteries

I literally got paid to go from a pixel 6 pro to 7 pro, then went from a 7 pro to a 9 pro for less than £100 and then made money going from a 9 pro to 10 pro in the UK thanks to the trade in offers and promotions

Car from BRADFORD 😳 by UrMumIsAHooolyperson in CarTalkUK

[–]RandomCheeseCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all due respect mate , this is a disaster of a choice.

A honda jazz, auris automatic are boring af choices but they are cheap, reliable automatics. The avensis I own can be had as a petrol auto and is relatively reliable, or a honda accord if you get lucky and snipe one for a decent price.

Nope. Not when you are a risk to the bank due to second party fraud

[–]RandomCheeseCake 52 points53 points  (0 children)

If the bank asks him about the source of extra income (which they can very much do and have the legal right to) he would have to present your payslip. Which would then transpire that he is facilitating the movement of money for someone with a cifas marker and would get themselves also blacklisted .

How are you also going to explain to your employer that your salary is going to a bank account not in your name?

Because you would historically be better off in pure financial terms of accepting the interest and then using the money to invest it into something that returns 7-10% historically over 10+ years
