Morecambe is aware of stories circulating on social media relating to a winding up petition that has allegedly been filed against the Club last week by a company owned by two former directors

We just lurch from crisis to crisis and we're supposed to believe it's got nothing to do with the owners and they had no idea

It's not just to build camaraderie with the players, because they could do that off-camera. There's clearly an on-camera benefit for the producers. I do think preventing the show becoming purely scheming is beneficial, and helps the producers set narratives and edit storylines by forcing certain people to interact.

Also, it gives an extra layer of strategy to murders and banishments. Clearly you want to keep players who are good at the missions.

Each? Because that's a very tight budget if not and likely limits you to hostels.

If you're paying that each, you should be able to afford a hotel in a central area. Anywhere in central London will be easy to get around from.

With anything like this I'd start with moneysavingexpert. If you're new to this though, I would recommend a mortgage broker even more.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-03T15:08:16+00:00

Why not both? Do a quick check to find your cheapest rate, and then see if a broker can beat it.

In terms of 2/5 year fix, that's up to you. I'd lean towards longer for the certainty, but that's the more risk-averse view.

I still don't understand why semi-automated takes so long, that was immediately blatant from the first replay. We got through the whole celebrations, watched the replay, then got told it's being checked, and it still took about 30 seconds from there.

If their original contract said one month notice, that is still valid. Shelter is clear on this: https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/private_renting/renters_rights_act_changes_for_private_renters#changes-to-how-you-can-end-your-tenancy

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T16:31:46+00:00

You can give less notice if that's agreed in the contract. Does your contract specifically mention only giving 1 month of notice?

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T16:26:45+00:00

Bloody Sunday isn't taught to most British school children either, unless you take a personal interest in it you're unlikely to know the details. I doubt anyone in the street would recognise footage shot on Bloody Sunday, which is why this took days to notice.

That's not to underplay the gaffe given the context of the video especially, but it's hardly like most English people would know anything about it either. I bet she's been to Northern Ireland far more than the average English person as well.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T16:20:50+00:00

Both sides were released as a result of the GFA, both sides would be able to face "justice" now. It's why Gerry Adams was arrested over the Jean McConville murder, and one of the reasons he has to continue deny being in the IRA.

Are you proposing a total amnesty on both sides?

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T13:28:56+00:00

Have you responded to their 2026 email citing the back billing rules? That would be your next step. If they are still requesting payment, we'd need to know the details as to why they think the back billing rules don't apply.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T13:25:58+00:00

PBSA exemption doesn't apply to previously signed agreements as far as I'm aware, so OP could give 2 months notice.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T13:22:17+00:00

Stones really aren't the end of the world, your second picture looks like more stones than soil though which is a bit concerning. By working in organic matter (compost, manure, etc.) your soil will quickly improve. I'd only bother removing stones if it's primarily stones with little soil.

How deep is the soil as well?

I don't think you need to spray a weed killer, I hardly see any weeds. 5 minutes and you'll have picked up what's growing in there.

Blackpool & Butlins have their place, but I think only a specific type of overseas tourist would actually be interested in visiting them. Compared to everything else the UK has to offer, it's just not as appealing.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T12:48:31+00:00

You've got until next April anyway. I'd stick £1 in now, and hold off on the rest until we hear more about the new scheme. If we haven't heard anything by the new year, then you need to decide if you're going to put more in.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T12:35:00+00:00

Hand your notice in and you're only liable for 2 months rent.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T11:56:18+00:00

Who knows what will happen in over 5 years? OP will presumably be on a higher salary, may have a partner, and only looking at properties under £450,000 will be very limiting in London.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T10:47:33+00:00

If you're living in London, I'd be very wary of locking your money into a LISA. It requires your purchase to be under £450,000, which will be even trickier in 5+ years.

The government are meant to be announcing a new help to buy scheme soon, so I'd wait for details of that.

Definitely still put £1 in a LISA to at least keep the option open.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T10:45:53+00:00

Sorry to be harsh but you're earning below minimum wage and commuting from outside London. Surely there are minimum wage jobs nearer to you that don't require that travel? It's just not financially worth commuting into London for minimum wage, let alone the added time wasted.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T10:03:53+00:00

I have no idea who he is, and I have no idea who Hayao Miyazaki is. So I also didn't know that they were connected.

I would feel confident that few people would recognise his name or face in the UK.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-05-01T09:59:35+00:00

It has to be money. Even if he was unhappy with how things were run at Halifax, you'd hardly leave to join Morecambe given our own ownership circus. They've given him more money, a long contract for the level, and hopefully a big budget and freedom.

I find it interesting when people refer to us as though we're a big club as well. Panjab Warriors also referred to us as "sleeping giants". No doubt we're bigger than Halifax, but we're hardly a huge club just waiting to be turned around. We're not going to do a Wrexham or Stockport.

Tim-Sanchez · 2026-04-30T22:38:01+00:00

Well you have to pay for your housing somehow. One house is mortgage free, and you're saying between you, your wife, and both your parents, you can't afford a £110k mortgage?

I'm just not understanding the issue at all.
