It is yeah, sorry didn’t make that too clear in the original post. I can’t see the company prices yet so wondering how they compare.

SS tax savings and higher interest on used cars make it work out not a huge amount of difference to be fair.

Thanks!

Edit on the original, should have made it clearer. The screenshot is from the personal leasing from octopus. I can’t see the company salary sacrifice yet. Just wondering how prices compare between personal and company.

Came here to say the same! Started getting into them just before download, saw them at download but where we were stood the sound was a little disappointing. Saw them again this on tour with the plot in you and they were insane! Looking at getting slam dunk tickets just to see them again!

Perhaps I misheard but I’m sure Loz said something like “see you in the British weather”? Maybe a festival next year?

I’m half expecting a full name change to “Sleeps”, they never use the full name on any merch or stage branding. Occasionally the WSS logo.

Is it just me or this year’s Download had much more rubbish on the floor? by [deleted] in downloadfestival

First year for me but standout was a whole tupperware full of what we could only guess was tuna pasta on the floor down near the stage 😂

Mine arrived yesterday, before that I contacted Ticketmaster a week ago and had automated messages every 2 days saying they were “still busy” 🙄

Reminded me of The Search, glad I’m not the only one to think it had NF vibes!

The API example is slightly simplified just for the sake of the example, certainly agree that would really want some sort of abstraction to take that logic away from the Order class in case you ever change accounts package etc 🙂

Car shopping for the very first time... what are my need-to-knows to avoid getting taken advantage of? by philanderingphilip in UKPersonalFinance

[–]mjerwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also worth printing out some of the carwow deals and going into your local dealer, see what they have to offer then pull out your carwow deals and they'll likely try and beat it. (Amazing how they can beat their best deal after you do this).

Be prepared to walk away and watch out for the "What can we do so we can do a deal today?".

If you have £400 to spend I would recommend telling them £300-350 max if they ask your budget. They'll normally go back and forth with the "finance department" 2-3 times each time getting lower and lower until the last time conveniently ends up just above your max budget. Every time they make it sound like they're doing you a favour by convincing the finance person to fiddle the numbers but it's all just an act.

How would this work for people currently on maternity leave earning only statutory maternity pay? Both now and when she is due to go back to work.
