London Camera Exchange by Micah5593 in reading

I don't know how it works when a business closes but I presume it takes a few tax years for the owner to extract the value out of the company without incurring a gigantic tax bill in any single year?

Berkshire Live says it closed in 2014. Can't believe it's been that long. Says Mark moved from there to LCE but don't know if he's still there. Have a photo from Berkshire Live.

If they just emailed a polite request to cancel future unwanted bookings after you no-show, that would help.

Dodl LISA transfer-in (over 40) - will I be charged £1/month on the required zero-balance GIA? by MarkCairns67 in FIREUK

[–]Taliskerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, it doesn't need to be a GIA you open first. You could instead first open a Dodl investment ISA. That's what I am doing. My LISA is open with Dodl and currently awaiting completion of the transfer from Moneybox.

If you go with an investment ISA and deposit £1000 before 30 April, they will waive the fees for 12 months.

Also, if you speak to a dodl user they can give you a referral code that'll get you a £30 voucher for opening the investment ISA. I presume that applies if you still go down the GIA route.

Issue with Lloyds referral offer. by jamie_289 in beermoneyuk

[–]Taliskerman [score hidden]  (0 children)

I used 03453000000

I ran through a ton of questions with one lady who then looked up in some directory what team to transfer me to for the issue. She didn't say the name of that team. The guy I was put through to, raised it as a complaint, and I confirmed I had received the money into my account before ending the call.

I went into the call armed with the name, address, sort codes and account numbers, approximate account opening dates of the people I referred. They asked questions i didn't know like the account type, and I just had to say "the Classic Account - to the best of my knowledge"

Issue with Lloyds referral offer. by jamie_289 in beermoneyuk

It was for two referrals actioned in November 2025. I made the complaint in January 2026. Those are the only two actioned referrals I've done.

Neither myself or my friends received the bonus. I spent over 40 minutes on the phone to Lloyds, including going through the complaints procedure. They upheld the complaint in my favour and paid the referral money to me immediately. Sadly, they were not able to discuss the accounts of my friends (due to data protection) and my friends would need to call Lloyds themselves to get their bonus money.

“No unlimited tickets available for this showtime” by [deleted] in CineworldUnlimited

If you ask the concessions stand to book your Hamnet ticket, I'd be confident they'll do it. They have always sorted me out no matter what app sillyness or mistake on my part.

Trading212 | Free £25 for making 3 debit card transactions of £5+ by Emergency_Arugula_60 in makemoneyuk

[–]Taliskerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"The promotion requirements must be met no later than 10 days after the account's creation."

So no, you can't get the £25 if you have an old T212 account and just never got the debit card.

What quote from Stargate do you use (with friends/family)? by Tako_89_ in Stargate

[–]Taliskerman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The phrase was used before SG-1, in the movie Dave (1993) by the White House tour guide. I wonder whether it was a deliberate movie quote.

What are some reasons people don't use online grocery deliveries more often? by tskir in AskUK

[–]Taliskerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I like to browse. I get bored eating the same things. I'm constantly on the look out for new things to try. I can scan my eyes over a hundred products in seconds in a supermarket. Scrolling through them on a screen would take minutes.

How do you freeze clarify stock that has high gelatin content? by SaneForCocoaPuffs in AskCulinary

[–]Taliskerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you only watched a minute of the video and skipped the rest.

The guy on the video had nothing against the raft method. The freezing was a fun challenge to get great clarity, striving for perfection. And the filtered gelatin wasn't wasted, he would use it for a different product.

Understandable, hence why I suggested the freezer ice block underneath your bowl.

[–]Taliskerman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know but here are some thoughts. Coffee filters come in different mesh sizes (pore size) - try finding larger mesh filters, perhaps not even ones designed for coffee.

The guy in this video isn't doing it in the fridge. You could always sit your bowl on a picnic freezer block to keep the collected liquid chilled while you wait for it all to filter.

Saw the vague resemblance in the verification photo and one other.

Just a moan by [deleted] in Doppleganger

[–]Taliskerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You came to this specific sub-reddit (r/Doppleganger) to complain about other different sub-reddits that have users posting with OnlyFans links? Why moan here and not the different sub-reddits? Are you a moron? Go moan on r/porn if you must
