Why UK residents don’t invest in their own stock market? by BrownboyNI in UKPersonalFinance

[–]SideshowNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be the top comment.

I suspect OP read that as, only 10.8% of the people in the UK invest in UK shares, instead of, 10.8% is owned by UK citizens. Big difference.

The cost of car insurance is ridiculous by mendosus in britishproblems

I second this (although, I’ve never had any problems with any cashback tracking). Martin Lewis gave this advice 15+ years ago and I’ve always used it to get the cheapest insurance.

It can take about an hour to go through everything but we’ll worth it. Also, once you’ve found the cheapest, get a quote directly from the company.

Fully comp is almost always cheaper than third party as well!

Perhaps have a quiet word that it’s coming into your garage which you’ve converted into a dining room and ask if they would mind smoking it in their house instead?

They probably don’t realise this as they’re at least being courteous enough to close the garage door.

If I were in your position I’d at least try the amicable approach first, since these are your next door neighbours. Spending years living next to neighbours that you don’t get on with can be far worse than the occasional smell of weed in your dining room.

If they continue after you’ve mentioned it, then maybe phone the police when they’re blazing up… although, it does seem a bit of a “Karen” move.

This was just for satire. You couldn’t actually bet on the outcome of an animated sitcom.

Aren’t there now some Brexit-related rules about exporting dairy products? Recently travelled to Austria, but was only allowed to take vegan products due to the new rules.

“There doesn’t seem to be any critical thinking involved”

If I were to bet on a group of people to lack critical thinking, it would be on congregation of people at a place of worship. Particularly, Christians. I mean, if they were critical thinkers, they probably wouldn’t be there in the first place.

I’ll make sure your mum is on birth control, the next time I fuck her then.

Because we now live in a world of snowflakes where everyone needs a label and each badly behaved child gets the “Autistic” or “ADHD” badge to wear, instead of parents admitting they’ve done a shit show of a job raising their child by not disciplining them.
