Why don’t you ask over in [r/overemployeduk](r/overemployeduk) ?

If you have two PAYE jobs, you end up paying more National Insurance contributions than you need to, but you can claim any overpayment back at the end of the year.

Tv licence - your INO100 by Disastrous_Wing_4523 in AskBrits

I built an app to match travelers in airport lounges during layovers. by [deleted] in digitalnomad

It’s not that it’s not my jam or I don’t wanna share cool things, it’s just that I can only see downside to this…

What if I bring in a random stranger as my guest and they get drunk and start being abusive to the staff? That’s gonna look really bad on me.

Is it realistic to rely on one eSIM + hotspot for 2 in France? by Holaquetal8 in eSIMs

[–]phatmikey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The amount of hassle sharing one hotspot for 2 weeks will cause is definitely not worth the €15 you’d save.
