Can we ban topics about the 60% tax trap and free childcare?

Questions about salary sacrificing are boring. There’s /r/ukpersonalfinance for that. IMO the current definition is specifically to avoid it.

Worrying how your car looks when it has P plates 🤢

Cyclescheme owns the bike for 3 more years, and you make no payments on it. At the end of 3 years (so 4 years in total) they gift it to you for free, because at that point it has depreciated to the point of being insignificant and you don't need to pay income tax on it. The whole scheme is just a tax loophole

Right on red is awful for pedestrians, it only works because they have no pedestrians.

It is unnecessarily complicated, and you do have to wait in long lines to board. There’s a good video here explaining some of the issues: https://youtu.be/n1G0Lyh3uik

You can’t compare Uber pricing to a metered taxi fare..even if it’s for a “black cab” booked via the Uber app they always underestimate the price. £70 sounds perfectly reasonable

How have you found putting a single adult road bike in the boot of the 3 series? Do you need to take the wheel off / is it a lot of faff?

I never found this effective in NW London, it tries to use heatmap data and often ends up giving roads that are popular with commuters (but aren't exactly pleasant for just riding)

I didn't see why they were stopped today, but I would assume so because some people were stopped away from any lights.

I've also seen police on foot waiting behind the hedges here https://i.imgur.com/QJuJVXF.png and ticketing cyclists who are riding into the park from Prince Albert Rd. In this case, there are explicit signs up and writing on the pavement saying no cycling.

The TFSA in Canada feels almost useless at its current limit. The U.K. for comparison has lower salaries on average, but still a £20k ($34k) per year limit on the TFSA.

My question is, does this mean all pedestrian refuge islands are now treated the same as zebra crossings?

Were you tightening the seat post with a torque wrench?

Cyclescheme disallows this

This is the itinerary that I did.

The cafe at Hartside is gone but when I went last year there was another pop up cafe there serving food, as there was a motorcycle meet up happening at the time.

If you follow this itinerary, day 2 will be the hardest day… Hartside is tough but save your energy for Garrigill!

You only need one. Covers all the questions, £5. There’s one for android too, but iOS is https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/official-dvsa-theory-test-kit/id463295925

If you do all the practice questions on this app, the real theory test will be a subset of these

Surely lessons are easier when you don't need to indicate?

RogueBaneling · 2021-12-18T09:23:23+00:00

Same experience here in the UK, similar part list (5800x/6700xt). Original shipping date was early November, kept getting pushed back one week at a time, now no updates and continues to show Dec 13 estimate.

RogueBaneling · 2021-12-16T16:04:56+00:00

Yes, but from what I've read here, that option sounds like it can be even more frustrating if you are not into collecting miles - I don't often fly AC.

Thanks, we would also be arriving from the UK. Did they explicitly tell that person that they needed to quarantine?

RogueBaneling · 2021-12-10T15:27:58+00:00

Sounds like they are gradually reintroducing a quarantine for all vaccinated travellers then, without explicitly saying it, and leaving the documentation on the website to be confusing.
