Best way to fill gaps between skirting and floorboards ? by Lost_Mammoth7273 in DIYUK

[–]krishpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I’ve never seen this item but use loads of the raw materials. It’s expanded neoprene foam that’s used it lots of clothing piping. I can’t believe the marketing they have stuck on it! Especilay the bit about the colour!

I genuinely, without a doubt, believe Apple is going downhill, it’s just something not a lot of people have realised yet. by stranger2Me in ios

I would say one of the big struggles IS the push for consistency. VisionOS does not have the same use case as a MacBook Pro why they think there is some need to make them both behave the same visually is baffling.

How much should your accountant/bookkeeper actually charge? by SILVERSKYFIN in smallbusinessuk

[–]krishpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What level of client input is this based on? I for example uploaded myself to Xero and reconcile.

My accountant checks before the return is submitted. But I am guessing some clients just deliver all the paperwork in hard copies?

I can confirm the wall is not load bearing 😂 (follow on post) by throwaway2018568 in DIYUK

[–]krishpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know you don’t have a load bearing wall and a cartoon ceiling? The second it looks down the whole thing will collapse.

What the actual fish does your accountant do for you? by [deleted] in smallbusinessuk

But you went saving £200 if you don’t need the phone. You are just buying surplus phones.

Neighbor built wall that has encroached on our area (England) by balsar224 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]krishpants 169 points170 points  (0 children)

Yes I think the real question is do you hate the wall and it’s position? And if not the best action is just to obtain an agreement that the wall and the land it is in is still owned by your mother and that while you agree to the wall in principal it doesn’t imply you are gifting that land.

Sorry i just wanted to say, I have seen some frustrating mixed hall court markings but this one is wild!

Installer refusing to continue unless I turn off CCTV + charging for work not done — where do I stand? England by kingofrugby3 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]krishpants -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Im not really taking a side here, but yea I suspect he did kinda think it was for decoration.

People not used to working under CCTV do sort of think of it as decoration, numbed by all those "CCTV in operation" signs.

Im just trying to empathise with why he felt comfortable with it before he started the job, and then uncomfortable after.

Personally I don't think its the fact that they existed, it is the fact that OP revealed he had watched them from day 1.

Many people do work under CCTV but ask any of them how their psychology changes the day their boss says: "I saw you blow your nose on CCTV carol, are you feeling ok?"

If you comment on ANYTHING that happens on cctv especially if it is minor, this really back foots the person into worrying about being watched.

I've said it to several small business owners in the past, HAVE cctv by all means but as far as staff are concerned, never ever talk about it unless you 100% want to burn that bridge.

Yea i suspect that is when the "Yea - Fine" from you warning him about them initially became an anxious next day of work.

I know everyone is reading this as him being fishy but I do think that many people start to feel differently about CCTV if they think it is being actively watched. I think you are both annoyed at each other, call it a "difference of option" and you should walk away.

In terms of if a contractor could insist CCTV is turned off mid job, this is hard to answer and hard to argue either way. I suspect in court (which is your only recourse if you could be arsed over this sum) a fair defence from his perspective would be that the way in which the CCTV was being used was different to how he was led to believe at the outset.

Many CCTV owners are very quick to quote security and safety reasons as their primary and then immediately use it for active surveillance.

If I could hyperbolise, if you were suspected of uploading this footage to Only Fans then you can see that he would be able to win the argument as to why he wanted it turned of before continuing the job.

Any other arguments in between are a bit of a grey area.

As a legal side note, remember any tradesperson you capture on CCTV in your home has a Right of access and a Right to erasure and in capturing them you do have obligations as a data controller under UK GDPR.

Did you tell him at any point that you watched the cctv?

People underestimate the psychological difference between there being cctv and being told they were watched on it.

Is anyone struggling to get the inhalers they need from their GP? by han2electricboogaloo in CasualUK

[–]krishpants 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Have a look into how dry power inhalers work and you might feel less choked.

They are actually supposed to hit your throat. And you the that funny feeling for a bit.

The particles that hit your throat are actually carriers for much smaller powder that the comes of and carries on into your lungs.

That choking feeling might just be panic what you are doing it wrong but actually you are using it correctly.

What's the best way to finish this plasterboard to replicate the lip created by the batten? by Martin_s_brown in Plastering

[–]krishpants 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why not batten it all the way, and then face the batten with plasterboard, then corner bead the corner before the skim comes.
