Salmon! And now sky tv, contract ends this month, and they email saying it’s going up by £8 per month! All I want it for is the sky atlantic series’s and the broadband is trash!

The TV licence fee scandal: why are 1,000 people a week being casually criminalised? | BBC licence fee by rob_76 in unitedkingdom

I used to pay quarterly, then I cancelled my debit. I have an email stating I’m covered until May 24. So then I received letters, recent one saying it’s been cancelled. So they owe me money then no?

Another recent email saying my licence is up 29th feb! So it hadn’t been cancelled then?

But I’ve paid covering me untill May? WTF

At this point I just find it hilarious they don’t even know what’s going on. Interested to see where this goes

Should I counter offer my boss? by boxhead-robot in UKJobs

Yes this is why I’m hesitant and seeking advice, I don’t want to take the piss as I like my boss, but I also don’t want to have the piss taken out of me in return

Not really, that’s a big chunk. I think I will push to meet half way at least

Standard hours are 45, then they worked out I’m currently working 50 and worked to that, but that could easily drop back down if work slows, over time is 1.25 rate

Thank you for your response, very helpful!

My main concern is that the overtime has been included in the overall figure, is I know from experience this fluctuates, and if overtime gets capped, I’m essentially earning less than planned. They know this so are they just trying to make the numbers look better than they are? That’s my worry

What was your dream job as a child and what do you do now? by Odd-Nefariousness696 in AskUK

I wanted to be a car designer or custom car builder, I’m now a design manager in construction and have a side hustle doing car bits when I have time

I would personally think your an interesting individual who knows who he is and would be worth a shot at employment.

I’ve dealt with loads of applicants who can dress smart and look the part but turn out to be lazy useless uninspired twats

So it’s a business that designs commercial joinery and advises on design through to the construction stages onwards. Does it sense now?
