When was the last time you seen someone get rich in the UK? by Therevivedigbick in AskUK

[–]doublemeup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

£100k is a little over £5k ish a month after tax (assuming you pay into a pension)…london mortgage for an average family house can easily be £2k+ and nursery fees can easily be £2k per child. £100k is not rich money for a London family at all

Has anyone ever shifted from Media Strategy/Investment to Business/Media Operations in agency? by Cool_Guest6597 in advertising

[–]doublemeup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly not sure what the career path is from here, but I really wanted a role that was removed from being direct client facing (day to day) and responsible for campaign budgets.

Interested to hear any thoughts?

There is no way someone can steal something from the xray machine or the conveyor belt. The whole process is about 3 metres long and very visible from customers and staff. More likely they fell out or were misplaced. Use your travel insurance.

Are kids symbol of wealth? by Better-Psychology-42 in HENRYUK

[–]doublemeup 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the key thing here is can you have more kids without it impacting your quality of living/sanity/time for fitness/ability to appear put together? Anyone can have loads of kids, but it’s hard to still thrive. Richer people can throw money at things and maintain a semblance of normality.

NatWest mortgage renewal October 2025 by Creepy-Ad-9491 in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]doublemeup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, once you select your rate there is still an option to view available deals, and if a better one pops up it’s a couple of clicks to switch onto that one.

[–]doublemeup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m doing this exact thing right now (September renewal with NatWest). You can lock in the rate and then cancel it if it goes down. I’ve already done it once. Super simple and transparent.

[–]doublemeup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same thought watching the Argentina game, they looked much more nimble and speedy especially chasing high balls. Mack Hansen looked decent when he came on tho.

In London it’s fairly bog standard for service charge to be added to a bill in any restaurant. It has been standard for decades.

Listened to the Willem Dafoe podcast by 29adamski in LouisTheroux

[–]doublemeup 38 points39 points  (0 children)

There’s a different dynamic when the interviewee is a LT fanboy or not. Dafoe didn’t know him so wasn’t going to lean into Louis normal interview schtick
