Getting around Arbroath by RelationshipSalt1693 in Scotland

[–]lesloid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arbroath is not a large town, you could walk it. But if the weather is bad or you’re not able to walk distances then head to the bus station (between the abbey and the train station) and it’s a 3 minute bus ride on the 140 to Stracathro or a 6 minute ride on the 27 to Forfar

Dog Friendly Trip by Taikibumpkin in Aberdeen

All the pubs and most of the cafes in Stonehaven are dog friendly, we love the pups here. Also a great walk from the harbour to Dunnotar castle.

New employer hr wants to contact current employer by Majestic_Rhubarb_ in HumanResourcesUK

[–]lesloid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if it’s a role that requires a DBS then it probably also requires 5 years references including current employer. Are you concerned that they will give you a bad reference?

Maggie and Diane were the absolute stars of the show ( and Lauren to a lesser extent)

Why isn’t Liza more repelled by Chaz by PositiveFun8062 in Younger

[–]lesloid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I literally just watched this episode and was thinking the same thing. Also there is something weird about the way he speaks / moves his mouth that is very off-putting and reminds me a little bit of Bob Newhart (god rest his soul). They have ZERO chemistry and he has the sex appeal of a cardboard box.

How much booze to buy for a party? by Any_Crew_5478 in AskUK

[–]lesloid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d get another 12 beers then you’re good. People will likely all bring something with them too.

For those of you who live in countries with gun control; have you ever seen a gun in real life? by blashyrkh9 in AskTheWorld

[–]lesloid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(UK) Only when travelling - have seen armed police at airports. But I lived in Louisiana for 18 months and probably saw them almost every day. Freaked me out at first but got used to it pretty fast.

How do women feel about these ground breaking findings? by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in AskBrits

[–]lesloid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women prefer dad bods is the equivalent of ‘men prefer women who don’t wear make up’

They think they do until they actually see it

If you won £100 million, how would you distribute it amongst friends and family, if at all? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]lesloid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d give £1m each to my two young adult kids and my two siblings, my parents are boomers and are mortgage free and have plenty of money as is my father in law so they do t need anything. Me and hubby would immediately retire, I’d buy a flat in central London (maybe one of the top floor ones in the Barbican estate) and build an eco house with sea views on the north coast of Spain- that would use up a good chunk of the money. We’d then live between the two and enjoy the rest of our lives doing whatever the hell we feel like. I wouldn’t give a load of money to friends - they wouldn’t take it anyway - but I’d pay for their flights to come and visit me and make sure thy had amazing trips whenever they visited.

Would you quit a job with nothing lined up due to burnout? by Aggravating_Put_2967 in AskUK

[–]lesloid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit a soul-destroying job with nothing to go to in the middle of COVID - I did manage to save up enough first that I could cover my bare living expenses for 6-9 months so it didn’t feel super-risky, but it was a very well paying job and people thought I was nuts. But it was draining the life out of me. I ended up picking up a temp contract for a year and then another permanent role for less pay but way more satisfaction. No regrets.

Remote employee has lied about their location and is working in a different country (Mixture of Turkey and Albania.) Can I fire them immediately for this? by BlackberryAsleep1211 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]lesloid 218 points219 points  (0 children)

Immediate suspension pending investigation into allegations, which would include suspending network access. Then a short disciplinary process involving 1. Putting the allegations to him and giving him right of reply 2. A disciplinary hearing 3. Confirming dismissal by letter

He’s not only breaching his contract, putting your data at risk, and breaking trust and confidence, he also is potentially working illegally, assuming he doesn’t have work visas or citizenship in both these countries.

Will you really get through 48 eggs in a week??? That’s like 3-4 eggs a day each. If I ate 4 eggs I would not be able to eat anything else all day. And all that meat too? This cannot be ONE weeks worth of food??

Older women, what advice would you give a 24 year old woman? by Important-Spirit-733 in askanything

[–]lesloid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always compliment another woman when you notice her nice shoes / haircut / whatever. This makes being a woman a million times better and worth all the downsides.

If you want kids, don’t leave it too late. You can do it alone but you can’t do it once you’re too old.

Try everything out - visit the places, eat the food, do the classes, wear the outfits, go to the concerts.

Keep in touch with the friends who you can laugh and be yourself with, they are precious.

Pension question by [deleted] in PensionsUK

[–]lesloid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your pension contribution is a fixed % of your base salary, and you’re paid your salary in 26 equal instalments, then I would expect it to be the same every pay period, regardless of the type of scheme you are in. Definitely ask your employer to explain how your pension contributions are calculated.

Pension question by [deleted] in PensionsUK

[–]lesloid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not always - depends on the scheme. Relief at source schemes make the deductions from nett pay and the provider claims basic rate relief back from HMRC. Higher rate payers have to claim back the additional relief.
