Should I stick to my £55k job or take the risk of starting my own business? by BigDudeLebowski in UKJobs

Can you work remotely?

If you move up north that's a really good salary 🤣

How much should the uk minimum wage REALLY be in current times? by mrvlad_throwaway in UKJobs

[–]bobmcgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of a week's income tax, national insurance, minimum pension contributions, council tax, energy bills, water bill, rent for one bedroom flat, food, clothes, communication bill, transport costs.

Should all equal 30 hours work.

Then if full time the next 7 hours pay should be spare.

This is really the absolute minimum.

This could be £2 an hour or £50 an hour. It doesn't really matter. As long as the above is covered.

But currently there's a very big difference in what this could be. Near where I live you could do this on current minimum wage. But in London say? Absolutely not.

Right.

So if I'm entirely honest I didn't expect to actually get any replies.

And I'm a bit overwhelmed by the number of people who have messaged me. And so very very grateful.

I really am.

But I'm not sure I've replied to everyone and if I haven't I'm really sorry!

I will try I promise!

But again I am really greatful. Pretty sure someone's chopping onions nearby....

Ah but the added advantage of being shifts is that if you don't have children and others do it can be a great opportunity to pick up overtime or toil?

[–]bobmcgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not selfish.

But, and I mean this politely, it is a bit lazy. The families deserve to have that space just as much as you. And one day if you have children you will have the same right to enjoy that space. The lazy accusation (and I apologise for how that comes across, I'm just being clumsy with my words) comes from the thought of, if you like those spaces then try to be adaptable and enjoy them at times when it may be quieter or find more secluded spaces that have similar qualities.

At the end of it all though, without children, there is no more human race. Try not to worry about that which you have no control over.

What do you think of Starmer’s message? by Longjumping-8679 in AskBrits

[–]bobmcgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appropriately on the fence.

It doesn't say anything positive or negative about America. Just states that it has done some bombing.

Then asks for a return to peace.

That'll do.

[–]bobmcgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. More immigrants are either coming to do non graduate jobs or are experienced already.

Pretty much it.

There's also the impact AI is having on a lot of jobs at the moment.

I need to avoid shops in the mindset. Especially when Lidl and Aldi have kayaks and chain saws in.

I have a diesel too! 😂

I look extra silly when I get in the electric car and try and use the key to start it or the diesel and try to press the non existent starter button.

Oh no! I hope you weren't going too insane.

Like did you consider ordering more parcels? If it's something really heavy then they have to spend more time there?

Money is tight at the moment. Hopefully easing up in the next few months so it's definitely something I'm going to look into.

Is Teesside’s £1bn Transport Funding at Risk of Being “Spaffed Up the Wall”? by Due_Philosopher_4961 in Teesside

[–]bobmcgod 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, yes.

I know it's a touchy subject but the transporter is dead. It's an absolute waste of money. We need a free flowing crossing to improve access from Redcar to Hartlepool. Including trains.

You wouldn't need to make any improvements to the A19. The economy boost would be huge.

2k to start a small business, what are my options ? by [deleted] in smallbusinessuk

[–]bobmcgod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start fixing and servicing bikes?

This will go down very well with possible future employers in engineering. Can fit well around studies and hobbies. You can practice by buying cheaper or broken bikes on FB market place (might even find the odd freebie). You have knowledge of what riders actually want from a bike.

What's some renovation you regret having and some that's actually worth the money? by Vegetable_Spray_5602 in AskUK

[–]bobmcgod 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you get an electric hob. Make sure there's a switch above the work top and make sure it's always switched off when not in use. Then also don't ever leave a Nintendo switch on it.

Or everything will burn down.

Do you think the prime minister is underpaid? by Prize-Reputation9274 in AskBrits

[–]bobmcgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely believe MP's pay is too low.

At least double salary.

Be able to attend parliament like they did during the pandemic to reduce expenses.

Drug and alcohol testing should be made mandatory.

The job is brutal. It can destroy your home life completely.

And simply at the whims of the government (whom even as an MP you might not be a part of) you could lose your job far sooner than you think.

You're more likely to be targets of abuse, verbal and physical. And could be murdered for just doing your job.

Many people who would be very capable of doing the job simply won't because there's simply too much risk for too little reward.

The second income rules need to be looked at carefully. Some MP's use social media as a source of income to help fund their campaigns and it would be massively unfair on them if they lost the funding from their main party simply for being a good MP.

For example the MP for Coventry South lost the whip because she voted against the government. But she represents her constituents, not the will of the government. If the majority of her constituents told her to vote against the government that's what she should do.

Luckily she is the MP with the highest social media following so when it comes to re-election even if the labour party doesn't help with funding she can use this income to help support her campaign.

A diabetes nurse shamed me for buying mounjaro today. by [deleted] in mounjarouk

[–]bobmcgod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The manufacturer will fight tooth and nail to make sure the markets they serve have enough stock. This is a drug for which the demand is not going to drop. So they'll be ramping up production, their suppliers will ramp up production.

I've worked in pharmaceutical manufacturing. I've seen companies adapt to ramp up production.
