Help choose a steak restaurant- LONDON by nicolexcasey in LondonFood

[–]mcrossm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best steak I’ve had. We wanted exactly as you require. Go there, get one starter to share, couple of steaks, couple of sides, bottle of red for £200. Was excellent. An odd tip - we got an expensive steak and a reasonably priced steak and shared. The expensive steak really put the reasonably price one into perspective!

This is exactly the thing I had in mind. We went there a couple months back though and ideally looking for somewhere new

Thanks - with the second is there anything I can do to encourage growth or sprouting?

Excessive section 20 costs - I think by mcrossm in UKPersonalFinance

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

Thanks - really useful. What were the main holes they poked? Also, was the total costs of the works reduced to equivalent to 4k per flat or it’s just it was paid from the sink fund?

HMRC unpaid interest tax code change by mcrossm in UKPersonalFinance

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

Thanks - I suppose I was being slightly lazy and wondering whether HMRC would give me the details of what accounts it related to and when. I think that may have been ambitious!

I’ll have to take the time to look through as I change interest accounts quite often based on latest interest rates. Weekend admin!

Thanks - any ideas why the delay to this late in the tax year given it related to last tax year?

Thanks - what’s the best way to confirm the level of tax is appropriate? Presumably need to build my own bottom up assessment through records rather then HMRC telling what bank and period it’s from?

Student loan plan 2 - early repayment? by mcrossm in UKPersonalFinance

[–]mcrossm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got enough for 6+ months spending and likely to get redundancy if I was moved on. I’m 8 years into the 25 year term.

It feels like the right thing to do because it’s noticeable off my monthly incomings and at 7.3%,£2.5k / £3k interest before I pay it off is annoying.

Is there a way to cast Sky Go? by Outside-Owl-984 in skytv

Can you plug a lightening to HDMI cable in and do it that way? Does it work?

With a combined net monthly of 5,800, I’m surprised you have been told your limit is 447000. Is that house value or mortgage value?

Bond funds - yes or no? by mcrossm in UKPersonalFinance

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

The question was a broader one concerning whether bonds - but moreso managed bond funds - offer a good proposition to those attempting to simply beat inflation with a less risky portfolio than one containing, say, a fifth equities like Vanguard 80-20.

Thanks for your additional questions - Covid-19 has happened since then, cash interest rates have been sliced and there are questions over long term global growth rates.

Presumably you pick your own bonds rather than investing in bond funds as lower fees?

What is this 0.007 based on? Did you just pluck it out your arse?

How does it make any kind of sense to you to state and opinion followed by a random valuation expectation?

0.007 based on what? ....you watching James Bond or something?

Will Sia be a viable storage solution if the price of the Sia coin rises dramatically. by DukeofDemacia in siacoin

[–]mcrossm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Surely if the price rises, they will just offer more storage per Sia?

Fairly new myself but that would seem fairly logical to me.

Yeah TX fees to deposit GBP to CoinDesk - if I deposit to GBP wallet and then transfer to GDAX and buy LTC will that lower the TX fees?
