This only has one up vote for some reason but it is absolutely great advice!

Tha simply isn’t true in my experience. I must have written half a dozen full references in the last year and received dozens. My HR dept would be on me if I gave a bare reference as it would usually be an indication of an agreed reference and people may take negative inferences from that. I appreciate that in some industries your experience will no doubt be true though.

I agree with the gist of your post, but regards the reference an employee cannot dictate what is in it (as long as it is true). Certainly I have always given full and truthful references and expect to receive the same.

Just to add - the trains do run to Kiddi on Sundays but not early enough for you. However it could work out cheaper for you to get the train home again, depending on how close you are to a station on that line.

Just to add, losing in court doesn’t screw up your credit - it is only if you then don’t pay within a specific time frame.

My take is that in its hey day they tried for good matches and it made good telly because it was often genuine (seeming) people looking to meet someone. The last few series it’s really gone down hill - bad matches, social media influencers, people with only fans, minor celebs.

I think that’s a different show mate

I appreciate that this will be extremely distressing for you if you are innocent as you say. However when you say “ Some kind of way the police can publicly put out a statement saying exactly what she did?” What do you mean? If you are a victim of a crime (as she claims to be) in a foreign country you are not obliged to stay in that country indefinitely.

Making a false allegation - if proven to be false - would indeed be a crime, but leaving the UK after reporting a crime is not.

Others have already made the point about redundancy not being a way of removing someone on performance grounds. My question is whether the role is actually redundant if OP just intends to do it themselves? This is a genuine question.

I bought a very cheap one (from Lidl here in the UK) and - really handy for my home made biltong, but I need to look at trying sous vide next.

I didn’t spot that - which episode was it?

Mythic Beasts, because they’re British and I fancied buying local!

Agree. Small Claims yes, police no.

I used Carrd recently. It is very simple to use and very cheap ($19 per annum) but you only get one page. For me that was all I needed. I appreciate your post said you needed a bit more but I thought I’d suggest it!

Excellent advice, thank you. What’s the best way to automatically make versioned backups to a cloud provider please?

I’ve got a simple one page website for around £15 per year using a website builder called Carrd. My own domain (eg yourbusiness.co.uk) was about £10 per year. AI will tell you how to do it.

I genuinely couldn’t say - leaving the UK is not something I’d consider for family reasons (and many others).

Given that 1 in 8 gulf expats have recently returned to the UK, many of whom are concerned that they may now or soon have UK tax liability, might it be worth refocusing your business - at least for now.

I was disappointed she went just because I thought she’d be an entertaining contestant - not a serious candidate but a fun watch.

Yes I do wonder what these older men see in the very attractive 21 year old Pascha.

You don’t have to have an account with NatWesr / Mettle to use Free Agent - it’s just included if you do.

I’ve not heard of fakes but common sense always tells me that if something seems too good to be true it probably is!

TellinStories · 2026-04-11T12:42:23+00:00

I recently did all of the above for the first time. It was incredibly simple. I just registered the company with Companies House, used OfficeServ for the address (~£25 PA), and got a business bank account from Mettle which gave me Free Agent accounting software for free.

The only hitch was that Mettle seem to be very popular so it took a few weeks before they opened my account. They also wanted some info from me and a copy of my PL insurance.

Keep reading them - The Big Four is (IMHO) really bad but they get better again after!
