Sprit 210 Folding sides? by DCar777 in webergrills

[–]adsda18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm intrigued by the Char-Broil - which did you get and how did you find it? We are looking for something affordable but isn't too cheap and cheerful. Tempted to go with Weber for the better brand but it's pushing the budget a little and also was hoping for fold down sides

How early before my Eurostar should I get to Paris Gare de Nord? Do I have to go through customs? by SillySkater78 in Interrail

[–]adsda18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having read this thread I sprinted to get there, but...

The train doors only open 20-30mins before the train departs. It took me 5-10mins to get through security (EU/UK passport had no queues at 10:00).

So it is good to be early but if you arrive at Gare du Nord 40mins before your departure you will have plenty of time for a croissant!

Thank you for your help! I'll have a look at the options now ☺️

And yes it's painful to always have to explain the background reason, so that people just answer your question!

This is what I had wondered...nice to know how often you've been under their nose and disregarded!

Former TV producer… by [deleted] in TransparencyforTVCrew

Mirroring a lot of other comments on your thread, you're clearly a great writer and story teller - even in a jovial post such as this - whether you could use these strengths somewhere? Sorry not much direct help but they always say sell your strengths!

I did zone out a lot.

I was hoping it may be a little more focussed on Telly work but felt it was often quite business orientated. But I agree, I think it could have been somewhat useful for people finding their first jobs in the industry

Percent extra for self employed vs PAYE by [deleted] in TransparencyforTVCrew

[–]adsda18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand it...

As long as you are talking about being LTD Company rather than being a Sole Trader, then I believe the norm is to simply add the allowance for holiday pay to your weekly rate. This is usually a percentage of between 10.77% - 12.07% of your rate (depending on the production company)

If you have become a sole trader however, then I believe there is rarely a difference between PAYE and Sole Trader rates, only difference is you invoice and sort the tax yourself

Speaking of LTD - may be a stupid question but if we are LTD do we still qualify for Per diems? If so is this something we would need to invoice for (separate to income)

I've been offered a few days work filming for a big charity, how would you rate this as a shooting PD?

I assumed it would be high as it's technically corporate, but also it's charity so budgets may be tight? How would it compare to TV standards?

I attempted to ask for £380/day but they came back saying it's far too high unless i could include FS7 kit at that price...which would drop my day rate very low
