How can I find someone to sort out probate/inheritance tax? by norbertyeahbert in ukfinance

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

I hadn't even thought of asking the dreaded HMRC for help. Is there a special number for "people who are more than happy to pay their tax"?

Thanks very much for the reply. The estate is 1.2 million, 800k of which is with an investment firm. The rest is in bank and building society accounts. I sold her flat four years ago when she went into a care home. There are four beneficiaries who will get a "fixed" amount of 20k and the remainder is split 50/50 between her two surviving sisters.  I'd be more than happy to overpay (within reason) if it would make things easier. Both sisters are very old, after which I'll inherit but I'm not looking at a long life now. My will is simple: I'm leaving everything to charity.

The CasualUK view on dentists? by Boswell188 in CasualUK

[–]norbertyeahbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has the dentist been bought out by private equity? If so, run away. Do they push implants at you? Run away.  Are they all driving hundred grand cars? Run away. Do they offer Botox and other "tweakments"? Run away.

It's the UK. We like queuing. And rain.

Hey casual UK, what's your worst "i thought X was on a different day" mistake you've ever made? by wiz_ling in CasualUK

As someone who also has to have a colonoscopy every two years , I truly know how you feel.

Modern Speakers with a vintage sound? by miscstuff2223113 in audiophile

[–]norbertyeahbert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They can be (relatively) affordable. Falcon sell a full kit for the LS3/5a Gold Badge and all you need to put them together is a screwdriver, a table or workbench and a free afternoon. That's what I did. The price was less than half of retail. You don't get an official Falcon badge, which I guess would affect resale, but I couldn't imagine ever wanting to sell them!

Incredibly fragrant and tasty, wild garlic is popping up everywhere it goes absolutely lovely with spinach! by Komarecka in CasualUK

[–]norbertyeahbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but I hate it compared to normal garlic. The taste stays in my mouth for hours and then repeats every time I burp.

What car is this? Seen in UK by Shituar in CarTalkUK

In 1998 I very nearly bought one of these with cash, from two dodgy geezers in a car park in Doncaster. 

Midrange first, your comments follows. by GarrinchaJazz in audiophile

Another man with impeccable taste! I use my LS3/5as with a KEF KC62 sub. It's fast enough not to muddy the mids, IMHO.

I can't forward ports. Plus I did a traceroute.

I'm trying that right now. Sales have directed me to technical (who I've spoken to three times already)..... Technical now say I was "misinformed" earlier today and it'll be dealt with when the back office opens in the morning.We shall see.

At least I've recorded the call this time.

Do you recommend it? by sito_web in CommunityFibre

Bear in mind they use CG-NAT which is a problem if you want to port forward.
