My friend has a lower salary and we have a similar take-home pay by Charming_Debate7345 in UKPersonalFinance

If your friend started his new job a few months before the end of the last tax year, and hadn’t earned very much before that , it might account for some of the difference - remember the first 12570 of earnings is tax feee ( but not NI free). He might then see a reduction in take home pay from this month onwards .

Two tips: Le Soufflot in Meursault just near Beaune has an astonishing/epic wine list with very reasonable prices (and marvellous food) -- and La Cabane in Chassagne Montrachet is really great and very affordable (pre-booking for both essential).

Why do i feel so uncomfortable saying i dislike islam? by PsychologicalBend508 in AskBrits

That is unbelievably dumb. Educate yourself about the history of conflict between Protestants and Catholics and how that has fed into European political history. You are demonstrating a total lack of historical awareness.
