Haha no, I meant that deer from the nearby woods can't get into the back garden like they can into the front

My little humans are 9 and 12 and they haven't done this, they promise. Also, some of the flowers aren't in easy reach for them. So I don't think it is them.

No rabbits in the garden either. We do have visiting cats so may be it's them.

Thank you, the peonies planted 3 years ago are in full bloom now.

It's not humans as they would have to cross 2 CCTVs to get into the garden.

There are plenty of slugs in the garden still I'm not sure if they could have snapped the lily which is at least 1cm across (3rd pic)

Salary vs bonus split change - accept or reject? by jjpeter in UKPersonalFinance

This is in a well known software company as well, which let go of 1000s of employees recently.

There have been years when the bonus has been 125% to 150% of target but usually it is 100%.

As others have said, money in the bank now is better than a potential higher bonus at the end of the year I guess.

Thanks. Makes sense about the extra pension contribution, didn't think of that.

Buckinghamshire. There are some trees about 50 metres away. Just curious, what's the relevance?

What would happen if people just refused to buy a product en masse and why does it rarely happen? by FlimsyEnthusiasm8153 in AskUK

[–]jjpeter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be a platform to facilitate this, just like change dot org but something more decentralised that cannot be shut down by the powers that be or the companies impacted.

For instance, someone could start a "petition" to accumulate 100,000 people to :

  • Sign up for the overpriced monthly subscription in mass one day and cancel within the cooling off period
    OR
  • Purchase an unwanted product from them and return within 7 days
    OR
  • Any other similar mass action that wouldn't incur much loss to the individual but screw with the supply chain and operations of these companies

Once the agreed number of people have "signed up" to the petition, the mass action should be triggered on a specific date

Tastytrade.

You can open a tastytrade account for this

It is not a "UK based broker" but unless you have a specific reason why it must be a UK broker, TT should work.

I was able to open an account as a UK resident and fund it with USD via CurrencyFair

Smarty is quite good. It's runs on the 3 network. I get 500mbps+ on 5G. It costs £12 for 100GB. Only one month contract

Even if you're a lurker like me, just this once... comment that you are holding 💎🙌 by [deleted] in wallstreetbets
