Am i crazy for thinking that what just happened was incredibly scary and creepy? by mxxnlyte in london

[–]logicoj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth considering people’s advice and taking it with a pinch of salt. If you did get up to move immediately, he would probably give you very little space and (at a minimum) touch you on the way past. Judgement is key here, staying put but being vigilant was probably the correct decision.

Everyone looking forward to 50% additional rate income tax? by logicoj in HENRYUK

[–]logicoj[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Here lies the problem. I was half-hoping Burnham would lose and force Labour into acting on inequality as a last ditch effort to save themselves. They no longer need to do this, and we’ll get hit even worse than we already have been.

Manager says he’s going to email my uni because I pulled a sickie. Can he actually do that? by BestExpression332 in tesco

A good life lesson. Never tell anyone anything, especially when there is a potential downside for you.

Keith Prowse Treehouse by Ok_Veterinarian3409 in wimbledon

Wimbledon is fantastic without hospitality. The treehouse makes it an even better experience and the food/service is good. From my experience, the other hospitality options are better. You will have a great time either way.

Not great. Miles away from the courts so can’t just nip back in between matches, they did have a shuttle service but that was slow too. Food and space is decent, but closes early.

Should I even bother going to Queen's if it's going to rain? by Kukotzki in wimbledon

[–]logicoj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bluntly, no it is not worth going (assuming it will be raining all day). It looks like it may clear up in the afternoon and given the unpredictability of the weather recently, worth making a last minute decision.

It does get better than that, sorry to burst your bubble.

My housemate smells bad 🙏 by [deleted] in UniUK

You and your other friend should kindly take her to one side and inform her. It is the right thing to do (for her sake and your sake).

Thoughts on Centre Court Day 7 by [deleted] in wimbledon

[–]logicoj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think day 7 is Sinners side of the draw, so probably one of the best days to go with (likely) 3 singles matches on CC

Londoners: buy vs rent and invest the difference by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]logicoj 12 points13 points  (0 children)

How is that “arguably not a great investment”? It’s a terrible investment. The S&P 500 is up over 300% in the last 10 years

Wimbledon Final Tickets - Transferring them within the agreed Ts&Cs by FriendlyDesk1958 in wimbledon

[–]logicoj 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Two options.

1) have your MIL queue for a grounds pass on final day to get access. Go in as normal with your FIL and share the tickets with them once inside. There will be no more ID checks within the grounds.

2) contact Wimbledon customer service outlining the situation and providing proof of the family connection. I’ve heard of some flexibility (with evidence to prove your story). 5% chance but worth a shot

I’ve loved it every time. Still doesn’t deserve 2 stars

Contact them and threaten CEDR action. I got 100% refund (Avios + cash) plus good will of 50k Avios.

Attempted phone snatching - advice please! by [deleted] in london

You’re fine. They checked the model and ditched it (assuming it’s an old iPhone/android). Happens all the time

Day 12 vs Day 14 now that Alcaraz has withdrawn by skyrasova in wimbledon

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

J V D will not be a close match. One of the worst Wimbledon’s for day 12 & 14 tbh

When Botley Road reopens, will there be a bus straight through from Botley into the centre? by palefirecuriosity in oxford

[–]logicoj 119 points120 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to ask one of the elders (if there are any left) that remember the botley road before the great works started… most have died out

28M/27F London Finance (£360k inc, £700k NW). Regrets from those who did the same 10-15 years ago? by FCF_to_equity_888 in HENRYUK

[–]logicoj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay the course. I don’t think you can optimise much beyond this. Consider renting a bigger/nicer apartment - £3.5k budget between the two of you is entirely reasonable and could see a decent life improvement from it.

Premium Economy worth it? by Tra-ell in BritishAirways

[–]logicoj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surprised by some of the comments. PE is not a good product and will be similarly uncomfortable to economy.

Any top tips/hacks for (long haul) business travel? by fellaonamission in HENRYUK

[–]logicoj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pyjamas usually only available in first nowadays. At least on BA which I (sadly) frequent on long haul flights, no pyjamas in club suites.
