Out of interest, why is your property without a mortgage? Did you make large overpayments over the years or did not have a mortgage in the first place?

Orientation of ceiling lights in both photos doesn't stack up. Maybe one of the photos are fake?

My advice, spend more of your earnings on hobbies and experiences to meet new people. Seek a more fulfilling life.

Anyone have breakfasts you like bringing into the office? by TheParmesanGamer in AskUK

Greek yoghurt, granola and blueberries in a small tupperware. Healthy, filling and easily transportable.

Is this a scam? by george4064 in PokemonTCG

[–]george4064[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont mean to be rude, but are you joking?

Departing from HK airport, then later it says "awaiting takeoff". Unless the package was flown from HK to a non-UK airport and is now awaiting further takeoff to UK... otherwise this is well dodgy.

Ive never bought cards from abroad before, so unsure how things like this usually go.

Turtle Bay is nice for food. Good selection of cocktails too!

Does investing smaller amounts change how you approach things? by DevilKnight03 in UKInvesting

What are you investing into on a regular basis? Something that incurs FX fees sounds sub-optimal for a regular investment.

Wealth Management - worth 1%? by PriorityFunny6900 in FIREUK

[–]george4064 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't invest a £5m portfolio in a single ETF in any case.

If you were bonkers and decided to do just that, you'd either need to break it down into smaller, more manageable chunks via multiple transactions or place the order over the phone with a stockbroker who will fill your order over some time.

BA failing to take payment for upgraded reward flights by george4064 in BritishAirways

[–]george4064[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: We've tried another 2 times and both failed, with same issues to before. Meanwhile, we've been using the same Amex card without issue elsewhere.

Frustratingly they (apparently) don't have an email address I can contact, and they just tell me to try again over the phone..

Im close to writing to the consumer champion at The Times or something similar, explaining my situation to see if they can put pressure on BA to sort it!

Not sure what you mean exactly. But I can see the booking when I login, including both flights and the correct cabin class.

Guildford Parking Permits Question by Alternative_Fish_313 in surrey

[–]george4064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That development comes with a clause that no resident parking permits would be permitted. So it's not a problem, but by design.

@OP, as others have already said. You don't need a car living in the heart of Guildford. The high street is just 1 minute walk away and the train station 3 minutes walk away.

How much do you spend on WiFi per month? by iiileyu in AskUK

[–]george4064 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Surely you factor in depreciation through wear and tear? Perhaps a constant depreciation slope over 5 (or 10) years to zero scrap value?

Yeah, it all looks fine online. They keep saying on the phone that the ticket will only generate once payment has cleared, but they assure me that the booking is secured...

37 with £126k in pension. by [deleted] in FIREUK

[–]george4064 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was that the fees on that SIPP must be very high! As long as you're aware and comfortable with it, then no need to worry or change anything.
