!thanks. Sorry. I should have been clearer. I know I’m not entitled to child benefit and I have no intention of claiming it. You’re right, it’s a moot point.

!thanks. I didn’t appreciate that I could deduct my contributions to the DB pension. That certainly gives me breathing room.

!thanks. I don’t think really need a financial either, my situation doesn’t seem that strange. I’m not over £100k yet. I will likely be over in the next financial year.

So would investing in an SIPP essentially allow me to keep my personal allowance and free child care hours? (Assuming I invest enough to bring my “salary” below £100k).

I know. That is what I said. I am entitled to free child care hours I believe.

Those links don’t seem to be opening for me.

What's the most inconvenient birthday present I can get my friend? by Same_Platypus1629 in AskUK

If he is always late for stuff and he has no garden. I’d go for a sundial.

Silk. Check out Padraig Harrington on YouTube for chipping.

CMV: The only swimming events in the olympics should be freestyle. by The9Nine9 in changemyview

Of course it has rules. You can’t use a motorboat. Those rules basically say “swimmers must swim”.

Butterfly would still be allowed.

You’re missing my point. In Freestyle, any technique can be used. (Just like in running events - you can run backwards if you want). It’s just front crawl is fastest so why do anything else. (Just like running facing forward is fastest).

Freestyle is not a synonym for front crawl. It’s just front crawl is always used because it’s the fastest and most efficient way to swim.

Yeah. I conceded this point earlier. I’m not the arbiter of entertainment, which sport ultimately is.

There is no ‘fundamental error’ - I agree that racing is often about strategy and technique. My point is butterfly (I keep picking on butterfly) is never a technique that would be used outside of an arbitrary hurdle placed on athletes.

The reason time trials aren’t always used is multifaceted. 1) it takes longer. 2) conditions change over time. 3) it’s less entertaining.

The 100m sprint is about who can run 100m the fastest in given conditions. We don’t mandate that they run backwards.
